What do you guys do when you start to miss home? Or... worry about the people and the responsibilities you left behind, even though everything is supposed to be all right?

[Everyone's in the same situation, so Korra doesn't feel so weird admitting that she's missing home. She's lucky, she realizes, that she has friends that she made both at home and here to keep her company. But still...

It's not home.]

I stop dwelling on it and move on. What's happened has happened and I can't change the past. I can only guide my future and what I do here. So as much as I care, I stop dwelling on it, I stop thinking about it. When I start to, I distract myself with something else. Something I can do right now. I make those my new worries and the others will eventually fade into the fog.

It's going to take a while, but it will happen.

Punch something. Several times or until it's destroyed, whatever happens first. And then I move on and throw it all to the back until there's something about it that I can actually do. You'll end driving yourself mad and killed otherwise.

Clean the ship, check the food stores, practice.

[Captain of distraction. Easy for him to say though, all his people and most of his responsibilities are here.]

Make plans for landfall.

I don't think there's much you can do.

[That doesn't really answer Korra's question but]

It's easy for me, but I know everybody else feels differently. [Because of the whole rotting corpse issue.]

I dunno. Worrying is fine--if you can't do anything about it, that sucks, but I wouldn't dismiss it and say everything'll be alright. You just gotta push to get back.

I usually remember that the situation back home is a hell of a lot worse than the one I'm in now.

Hold out hope that this nonsense about shards is true. And the only thing we can do is work toward our goal.

From what I've gathered through the journals, those that have been temporarily blessed with the opportunity to go home continue their life as normal at the point they return. That's one of the few saving graces I can think of.

Depends on what an' who I'm missin' from back home. Maybe draw 'em or some shit, y' know? Take jus' a couple a minutes t' remember 'em good. Then go an' find somethin' fun t' do with all the kickass people I got 'round me here!

[ He is pretty tempted to find a ball and initiate a game of surprise catch to distract people now, tbh. ]

I guess I just think about something else? [ That's always been a pretty successful method for Bolin's natural leanings. Avoid the problem or thinking about it until it is fixed somehow. Possibly by you. Possibly not. ] I mean, you can always talk about it, too. If I don't think about something else, talking is kind of my go-to thing. Pabu makes a great listener in a pinch.
