Water whip it out, champ! Quick flick of the wrist, make it splash!
I'm not sure if this will work for me
grinning "Aww, c'mon now, don't be shy! Water bending's in your veins, just let it flow!"
What if my abilities don't follow the traditional ways
stands tall, hands on hips "Well, buddy, water bending ain't no straight lane highway. It's a winding road that takes you where you need to go.
slapping Stranger's back "That's the spirit! Now, let's dive into the deep end and see what you're made of! Ready... set... GO!"
uses water bending to make water whip
clapping excitedly "Hot diggity dog, you did it! That water whip is swingin' like a pro! Now, let's kick it up a notch, time for the grand slam!
kicks the water hard making a huge splash
whistles "That's what I'm talkin' about! You've hit a home run, champ! But remember, the water's waitin' for your next move.
Hm... Maybe I should use steam instead...?
nodding with a grin "Steam, huh? Now we're cookin' with gas! Give it a whirl, show me what you got!"
makes steam using water bending
dodging the steam with a laugh "Whoa there, hotshot! Keep that steam under control! We don't want any burns, do we?"
No we don't continues using steam bending
<As Stranger continues to practice steam bending, they accidentally scald themselves, leaving a painful burn>
rushing over, concerned "Oof, looks like you got burned, champ! Don't worry, I got just the trick to cool you down!"
rummaging through her bag "Alright, hold on tight! We're about to put out that fire faster than you can say 'overtime'!
pulls out a bottle labeled "Coolant 5000" "Ta-da! Introducing Coolant 5000, the ultimate fire extinguisher for water benders!
Huh, never seen that before...
grinning mischievously "Well, prepare to have your mind blown, because this baby is a game-changer!
Do I just spray it on my hand?
"Spray it on your hand? Oh no, no, no, my friend! You gotta do a little dance first, gotta shake those hips and wiggle those fingers!
Uh, ok... shakes hips and wiggles fingers as instructed
clapping enthusiastically "Yes, that's the spirit! Shake it like you mean it, hot stuff! Alright, now spray that coolant all over your hand!

watches the coolant sizzle and evaporate on Stranger's hand "Hot damn, look at that!
Ah... Much better... Thanks...
pumping her fist in the air "Yesss! Another victory for the cool kids! You handled that burn like a pro, champ!
Well, at least my pain is gone... And it didn't even cost me a life debt...
throws a playful punch at Stranger's shoulder "Ha! See? Told ya I got tricks up my sleeve! Now, get back to practicing, hotshot!
Yes ma'am... chuckles and heads back to the training area
<Despite the initial burn, Stranger continues to progress in their steam bending skills, becoming more adept and powerful with each passing day.>
... Katara, you think I'm ready for the pro-bending tournament yet?
grinning with confidence "Pro-bending tournament, huh? Well, my friend, I've seen you grow from a tender sprout to a blooming flower!
Well... The last few days have been tough...
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms "Tough, huh?
Yeah... My body can only handle so many intense steam bending sessions...
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder, speaking with determination "Hey, champ, I get it. Your body needs rest, but you can't let that stop you!
Yeah, you're right... So, how do I recover faster?
rubs her chin in thought "Well, hotshot, recovery is all about fueling your body with the right stuff and getting those juices flowing!
