“Was it just me or has my creepy cousins been acting weirder than usual?” Korra questioned that evening as they lay on the bed.

“Umm…I wouldn’t know for sure but Desna has been more…talkative.” Asami answered earning an odd look from the southerner.

“I wouldn’t mind if they didn’t talk in that weird monotone….that and the last time that I had a conversation with them we were ten and they blasted me into a lake.” The avatar retorted, sparking the non-bender’s interest.

“Why? What did you do to them?” Asami asked, cocking an eyebrow at her friend who snorted.

“I may or may not have threatened to have Naga eat them because they wouldn’t stop being infuriating.” The avatar chuckled, glancing over at the taller girl before adding

“Even as kids they spoke in the same drab tone that they do now. I think that their faces would crack if they actually smiled….and their laugh…ugh…if I wanted to hear a choking penguin seal I’d strangle one.”

Asami laughed at that “what?”

“Their laugh…they sound like a dying penguin mixed with another kind of choking bird.” Korra replied, a chuckle coming from her.

Asami’s heart swelled as she heard the familiar, natural sound come from the other girl.

“Come on…It’s getting late. Let’s get to sleep.” The engineer snickered, turning out the light.

“Yeah…I have another torture session tomorrow.” The avatar muttered, though the nestled closer to the taller teen’s side.

"Korra?" Asami gaged her words carefully, hoping to not set off the usually high strung girl

"I'm going to try to sit in on the session tomorrow. I just want to be any help I can."

Much to her surprise Korra only let out a huff before retorting
"Fine whatever...Goodnight."
