      Weirdly defensive lol

      Water bending is objectively the scarcest element and specifically why they settle at the poles where construction with ice is simple. That’s why they have so many benefits like healing and being overpowered with blood bending.

      Air and fire are at will, and earth exists wherever humans live since we aren’t aquatic. Water definitely has to plan for not being near water, no one else really has to do that kind of a thing.

        It’s been a minute, but I seem to remember Katara carrying a vial of water with her, maybe that’s standard practice among water benders.

          I’m sure it was, but like I said no one else has to do that. Water is the hardest to come by but that’s why it’s the most utilitarian.
