The next morning Asami awoke before dawn, surprised that Korra had not seemed to have woken up at any time during the night and was still sleeping soundly.

Slowly getting up she decided to go see if there was anything she could help with before Korra awoke, changing out of her nightgown as quietly as possible and making sure that she left the door open enough so that Naga could push it open if Korra needed someone to be brought to her.

However as she made her way toward the kitchen she found Eska sitting by the window, her eyes trained on the sunrise.

“Desna said that you were distressed by my exit last night…You did nothing to irk me, I merely did not expect an emotional outburst such as that I had last night.” The northerner stated, not turning from her spot.

“No, I should apologize. I shouldn’t have asked.” Asami argued, suddenly feeling the guilt all over again however to her surprise the younger girl stood and turned to her.

“I could have refused answering. Usually my brother and I do not discuss our personal matters with anyone besides each other.”

The northern princess’s tone held the hint of something though the engineer could tell what however before either had time to speak Desna entered the room, looking half asleep.

He paused in front of them for half a moment before shrugging and heading toward the kitchen before asking over his shoulder “do either of you two want any tea?”

After answering him Eska turned toward Asami with a slightly irritated look

“He is not a morning person.”

Korra woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking, her stomach growling painfully as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

“Yeah yeah…I hear you.” She grumbled to herself, glancing over at Naga who was looking at her expectedly.

Groaning she removed the covers and glared over at the wheelchair “you know the drill.” She told the dog like creature that quickly lopped out of the room.

Asami glanced up as soon as she saw the polar bear dog enter the room.

“Exscuse me.” She told the twins who just nodded before glancing at each other.

Once Asami had let Naga out and headed toward Korra’s room Eska smirked.

“How does cousin not see how that girl feels for her? I know that the avatar cannot be so dense.” She stated, earning a smirk in return from her brother who then just yawned.

“It’s too early in the day to contemplate our cousin’s romance life. We may continue this discussion after I am fully awake.” He replied, much to Eska’s visible annoyance.
