Maybe?

I'm kind of in the same boat as you--it's only ever been Kal. Though I will say it was a step up from the last time he tried to give the three of us a Talk.

[Leave room for Jesus, indeed]

[braavado]

Uh... [Korra just looks puzzled.]

Kal tried to give you guys a...talk? What kind of talk?

[backwordscompatible]

Trust me, Korra. You'd rather not know.

He nearly killed Kon through asphyxiation from laughing so hard.

[braavado]

Now you're just making me even more curious.

I'm guessing it didn't go that well?

[backwordscompatible]

Considering the fact that Kal seemed a little too proud of himself afterwards?

Not really.

[braavado]

[Yeah, Korra's not sure what exactly happened there, but...now she's getting the feeling it would kind of go right over her head.

She scratches at her cheek awkwardly.]

I guess Conner and Kon are off the hook...I mean, you have Kal, but neither of my parents are here.

[backwordscompatible]

[There was also the part where it had actually been her and Conner being given the Talk. Completely unwarranted, of course, but still.]

That would've been a sight to see. Kon having to deal with my dad.

I'm not sure he would've survived.

[braavado]

That bad, huh?

[A part of her would like to have seen Kon face Zee's dad.]

[backwordscompatible]

He was...well, let me put it this way: I once got grounded for life for saving the world without his permission.

[Of course there was more to the story than that, but from her perspective, it was all completely over the top and exaggerated.]

[braavado]

Uh... [Yeah...that wasn't what she was expecting, actually.]

But you saved the world! He should've gone easier on you.

[backwordscompatible]

I won him over eventually. It only took until Halloween.

[Which she proceeded to repay him for by ditching the school dance she'd told him she was going to to ride around Gotham on a motorcycle with Artemis, nearly get blown up twice in one night, kidnapped, and make friends with a ghost. Good times.]

[braavado]

Oh. That's great, then.

[She pauses.]

What's...Halloween?

[backwordscompatible]

[How should she go about answering that one? National Dress up day? Free Pass for Begging for Candy from Strangers? End of October?]

It's a holiday that takes place in the fall.

[braavado]

Oh! A holiday? [Korra looks curious. Now that it’s come up, has she ever asked anyone about the holidays in their world? Not that she remembers.]

What kind of holiday is it?

[backwordscompatible]

That depends on who you ask. Different cultures celebrate it differently....but where we come from, it's an excuse to dress up for a night in crazy costumes. Young kids go trick or treating, older kids go with them for the free candy.

[braavado]

[With each explanation, Korra just looks more and more confused.]

Wait. You mean, you get candy for wearing crazy costumes?

[She can imagine Tenzin's kids going nuts over this holiday, if they had it in their world.]

[backwordscompatible]

Well, you do have to work for it.

Trick or Treating is when you go house to house, knocking or ringing doorbells and asking for the candy. So long as you don't knock on a house that's lights are out, everything's fair game.

[braavado]

That sounds…really confusing. And weird. Who even came up with all this?

Why not just have a costume contest and award people that way?

[backwordscompatible]

Some people do that too.

But this way's more fun. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
