How is she?” Senna asked as Asami entered the room, only to earn a sigh.
“I don’t think she got any sleep last night. She woke me up at least four times last night tossing around.” She yawned, causing Senna to sigh.
“How often does this happen?” Tonraq asked, brows furrowed in concern.
“It comes in spells.” The heiress answered however before anyone could say anything a loud thump came from upstairs.
When they got to the room that the wheelchair had been knocked back against the wall as Korra sat panting on the bed; sweat clinging to her bronze skin.
“What happened? What’s wrong?” Senna questioned, rushing to her daughter’s side.
“Nothing Mom….a bad dream.” The avatar answered; though Asami could tell by the way she glanced down that she was lying.
Asami left the room to give the family some privacy though she was followed closely by the northern chiefs.
“You know that she is lying. Why did you not say anything?” Desna questioned once they were outside.
“It’s not my place. If Korra wants us to know then she will tell us.” The engineer retorted causing the twins to share a glance.
“Do you think that the avatar will get well? You seem the one closest to her so you should know.” Eska probed, noticing how the other girl became rigid at the question.
“I believe she will…..The only question is when.” Asami responded, her voice shaking slightly.
“It is said that Katara is the best healer in the southern tribe.” Desna stated, glancing over at his sister who nodded and added
“If the Avatar is stubborn enough to tame a polar-bear dog she is capable to overcome this.”
“Where’s Asami?” Korra asked about an hour later, earning a smirk from Tonraq.
“She and your Cousins went into the village.” He replied, watching as a look of concern came across Korra’s face.
“They’ll probably kill her.” She muttered earning a chuckle.
“You know it’s funny. She gives them a chance but you do not.” He pointed out; causing his daughter to glare at him.
“Yeah because Asami is a whole heck of a lot nicer than I am. I don’t care what you say but they have hearts as cold as an iceberg.” She retorted; earning a chuckle.
“Maybe because they had the pressure of being royalty and keeping their true thoughts and feelings hidden.” He responded, earning an eye roll as Korra countered
“Then why do they smell like an old lady’s attic?”
