“How was hanging out with the two ice cubes?” Korra asked later that night as Asami helped her change into pajamas.
“They seriously aren’t that bad….Though they are a tad bit….eccentric.” The raven haired teen retorted, rolling her eyes at her friend who snorted.
“You’re just too nice.” Korra retorted, leaning back against the pillows as Asami straightened to covers over her.
“So how did your healing session go?” The inventor asked, nearly tripping over Naga’s tail as she moved over to her own bed and sat down, beginning to take her makeup off.
“Don’t ask.”
The roughness Korra’s voice surprised her; causing her to involuntarily flinch.
“Sorry, you’ll tell me if you want me to know.” Asami said quickly, deciding not to ask questions since the younger girl seemed to go into an automatic defense mode.
“I’m going to try to get some sleep. Goodnight Asami. ” the avatar retorted, turning over to face the opposite direction.
Sighing Asami turned out the light and lay down, though sleep did not come until much later that night. Her emerald eyes trained on the still figure of her best friend who was seemingly asleep.
Suddenly Naga’s nose pressed to Asami’s hand, startling her slightly though a hushed whine tore from the beast’s throat.
“I know girl. I’m worried about her too.” The heiress whispered, stroking the thick, silky fur as the polar-bear dog rested its head on the bed by her.
Korra awoke with a start, her heart pounding in her chest as she glanced around the room looking around the room in search of the white eyed figure that had just attacked her minutes earlier.
Though suddenly her thoughts were called off of her nightmare as a warm, wet tongue ran over her cheek.
“I’m okay girl. Just a bad dream.” The avatar whispered, slowly reaching up and rubbing the beast’s muzzle slowly as she willed herself to calm down.
At least I didn’t wake someone up…Besides Naga anyway.
The southerner thought with a sigh as she lay back down, keeping a hand on her pet; hoping that the simple action would keep the nightmare’s from occurring anymore that night.
