Featuring miraculously not a cloudgrandbaby Jinora.

"Come on, kid, you got to flow your way through the stances." She grabbed Jinora's arms and pulled her through the move like a marionette.
"You sure you're not an earthbender?" Jinora asked shakily. The woman had arms like pylons. No one that old had any business being anything other than wizened and frail.
Her new sifu melted the ice between them and hurled it at Jinora. Yelping, she jumped out of the way, sliding on the ice. Korra tossed her head, grinning widely. "That answer your question."
"I can do that too," Jinora said seriously. "And I'm an earthbender."
Sifu Korra chuckled. "Kid, I've talked to your earthbending teacher. You are not an earthbender."
Jinora thought maybe this would be a good time to die. Maybe if she asked nicely Sifu Korra would teach her how to sink herself into the ice. "Can I try that water whip again?"
"Go right ahead," Sifu Korra smirked. "I'm not stopping you."
Jinora lifted up the water that was trying to freeze back into the floor of the training ground and flung it at at Korra hard, lashing her arm, but when she tried to pull the water back, it splashed at her feet.
Sifu Korra rubbed her arm. "You. Stances. Flow."
Jinora rolled her eyes. "You know, your movements aren't very flowing either."
"Yeah, well, that's because I'm boss," She folded her arms. "And maybe someday, if you ever get to be as boss as me, you can move like a creaky old woman too."
Korra as the waterbending sifu to Zuko's successor
