[ He inwardly grimaces at not knowing whether Zaofu is a place on Earth or not - sounds Chinese and he hasn't been to the Pacific or heard that much about it in a way of good stories. ]

No, unfortunately, Captain, I haven't.

[ He straightens, minutely. ]

Spirit World?

[betterthanwu]

It's another world or reality which works differently. The spirits there are some of them very powerful and capricious. Kidnapping people isn't unheard of. Typically though, they've done something first.

[She's got rank and status in Zaofu. If the spirits are upset she might have been the first to be taken? But they've had no signs of that.]

I would have heard of an army big enough for that kind of infantry. Zaofu is the most advanced city on Earth, and everyone knows about the spirits. I suppose there could be more than two worlds?

[ Doesn't sound too different from the Fair Folk, though he suppresses a grimace. Done things? He's done a lot of things, most of them unpleasant, none why a fairy or a spirit might be interested. The good Lord hasn't been listening, why should these beings do so? ]

S'pose there could be, or maybe this is a third party. Either way, it's nothin' I've heard of.

[betterthanwu]

It could easily be something different. Spirits tend to go more extravagant, I think. No one's even said this is a prison, though as I understand it, we can't simply escape.

[ She's right of course, just because it's dressed up nice doesn't mean it's any easier to handle, but there's fresh food and space to move around - decent company too. Much better than the HYDRA work camps. He's got to stop thinking about the damn War now that he's not in it, and it's supposed to be over. ]

That we're workin' on. Mist outside seems t'be the biggest obstacle.

[Kuvira has to consciously work to keep what she should be doing, what she wants to do, from her mind.]

It's curiously impenetrable. My cables can't find any purchase, and I can't bend the ground out past this tree. It seems to continue though. A world exists past this mist.

[redactions]

[ whoa stop the presses ]

Bend the.. ground?

[ He tilts his head curiously at her. ]

What do you mean by that?

[betterthanwu]

[She can also sense whatever metal's on him. With the paucity of stone and metal in the tree, what there is stands out more.]

I'm an Earthbender.

[This doesn't seem to get the oh of course response she was expecting. Kuvira blinks, a crack in her cool persona. Other worlds, sure. Other worlds without bending? Maybe they're just worlds where it goes by different names.]

I... can manipulate the element of earth. It's something I'm attuned to, so I'm able to feel it from some distance.
