"Well then sis, I really can't help you. Best be on your way then! And don't let the door hit you on the way out." Ryko walked up to the door and opened it, bowing and motioning for Adena to exit.

Adena stood from her seat and strolled over to the door. As she walked out of the apartment, she glanced at him over her shoulder and scowled. "Always the gentleman, Ryko. I doubt you'd even put a good word in for me with the chief. I'll go catch a job at the ice cream parlor, or something. I'm sure Father would love to hear that." And with that, she walked down the hall and exited the building.

"Not like I care what that idiot thinks. He's not even my real father and she's not even my real sister. Hell, even my 'mom' wasn't really my mom." Ryko sat down and took out his notebook. He started working and then it hit him. He had stumbled upon the secret to break bloodbending. He couldn't go to the police, they'd arrest him. No... the Avatar had to know. She'd be the only one who could help. She was the one who should know first. But he had to get to the island somehow. He had no way to fly to it... Ryko thought of a slightly 'different' form of travel. ------ He jumped across the water and started running. Soon, the running became a sliding, which became a surf. He kept going until he came very close to the island. What he wasn't expecting, was a fireball towards his direction. He dodged it and stumbled a bit, but managed to maintain his direction. Then came another.

Much to her displeasure, Korra hadn't caught up with Meelo for that race due to a distraction off in the distance. From her point-of-view toward Yue Bay, she had spotted what appeared to be a person approaching the island rather rapidly. She had made her way over to a cliff at the edge of the island, throwing various fireballs in the direction of the figure, to which he dodged. She continued aiming her attacks at the figure in hopes of knocking him off balance and into the water.

Ryko enjoyed this little game, although he didn't quite want to end up on her bad list. He stopped for a moment and stood on the water, and then a blast of water shot out from under him and propelled him towards the island. He had never actually perfected this, so instead of landing next to her, he flew by her, hit the ground hard, and rolled across the ground until he hit a wall. He stood up, completely dizzy and disoriented. Korra approached him, "You're pretty," he said as he passed out.

"What... just happened..?" Korra stared at the unconscious man on the ground before her, quirking a brow in confusion. She mildly kicked the man in the side, attempting to awake him.

"Don't shoot!" Ryko woke up abruptly. He scratched his head and then looked around frantically for his hat. "Ah! There we are!" He placed it back on his head, stood up, and dusted himself off. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ms. Avatar Korra! I am known as Ryko!" He took removed his hat and took a bow. "It seems my landing was a bit... messy. It could have been a tad bit better than that. I've never actually practiced. You see I've only tried that a few times. The surfing thing, not the jump. The jump was a second-time thing. The first time it happened... well let's just say I'm sorry for the hole in City Hall. However, this time I thought I had it. You see, I angled myself..." Ryko kept rambling on and on.

"Um... hi, there," Korra somehow managed a reply as the waterbender continued his rambling. She shifted awkwardly as he kept on, looking here and there for someone — anyone — to swoop in and save her from this guy. With a sigh of annoyance, Korra placed her hand on the man's shoulder and glared up at him. "Okay, enough. Why are you here? This isn't exactly a tourist location; it's a home to the airbenders and the Air Acolytes."

"Oh sorry! I almost forgot why I came here! It's because of this!" He pulled out a notebook and showed Korra a certain page which was full of numbers and symbols and equations which looked foreign to her.

Korra's eyebrows furrowed in concentration as she attempted to make sense of the writing on the page. "Look, if you're here to waste my time, I have no problem sending you back to the city the exact way you came."

"So zetta slow!" He slapped his face with his palm. "Sorry about that... this, my feisty friend, is the way to counter-act blood bending!" Ryko smiled with enthusiasm.

"Uh-huh, and I know the cures to every disease in the world." she replied, her tone thick with sarcasm. "The only true way to counter-act it is through bloodbending, itself. You can get in a lot of trouble for this... 'research', you're conducting."

"No no no no no. You gotta listen for a sec, girl. SOACAHTOA. Alright, so you know how blood benders use the liquid water in the body and the blood to control a person's movements? Well, if a water bender focusses on keep the flow of his or her body flow steady, mainly by breathing steadily and not panicking, as well as consciously blocking the person out, with a sort of shield– think of it like a cell wall. You have the cells and then the cell wall. You could create a sort of barrier around yourself with the moisture in the air. Ugh, this isn't coming out completely right. Is there anyone that can maybe read and understand my notes?" Ryko looked frantic.

"I don't know... Mako, maybe; he's always been pretty smart..." Korra hunored the man. "Tenzin is another possible choice, but he's at a council meeting."

"So what should I do until it's over. I HAVE AN IDEA! MAYBE I SHOULD GO TO THE COUNSEL MEETING!" Ryko stood up straight.
