[ Not that they were much use to begin with, but Bolin closes his eyes, focusing on the ground below him. ] I can ... Even better than usual, in fact.

[ And that doesn't come at all as a surprise to him. The original Earthbenders were blind. Toph was blind. Canceling out his sight allows Bolin to focus on the energy in the ground, tapping on his natural affinity with the earth. It's something he rarely did back home because he was always so preoccupied with talking or moving about.

He takes a minute to sense his surroundings, then gets into Earthbending stance, raising a small part of the ground just to test his bending out. ]

Mako!!

( his hand squeezes at bolin's shoulder. calm down, bro. )

I see it, I see it.

( he's been feeling the sun in that particular way that firebenders do on and off throughout the day. it's not surprising. but mako sounds proud of bolin, because of course he is. he always is. even when bo does stupid things. )

I can't believe it. I'm an Earthbender again!

[ He's a novice at Airbending, but practically a master in his original element. Bolin expresses his elation by bending whatever's around him, making rocks fly up or raising random platforms. It's actually not as much of a disaster as it could be, because he knows how to control his Earthbending. ]

Man, I can't tell you how much I've missed being able to toss rocks around!

[ And it dawns at him that maybe Mako got his bending back too. ] Mako! Mako! Bend at me!

( what is this 'practically' a master nonsense? bolin's the only lavabender in the world, of course he's a master!! #bolindefensesquad

mako just... lets him do his thing, standing back and folding his arms. if a rock lifts too close to him he will absolutely step on it to push it back down. he's smiling, though. a little softly, mostly because bolin can't see it. his brother's happiness has always made him happy too, even if he's terrible at showing it. )

Bro, we're inside the Temple. I really don't think I should be playing with fire.
