Republic City

Late in the evening

Vivid shades of red kept smearing in to the sky as the evening sun slowly sinks in to its slumber in the calm sea. The lazy waves kept splashing against the sandy beach as if it is passing its boredom. Soothing salty wind gently blew across the front porch of the beach house wreathing around Asami as she kept starring in to the sea.

She is sitting back on her reclining chair wearing a comfortable pajama and a white shirt. She reached the glass of wine which was below her on the floor. Asami picked it up deep in her thought only to realize that it is empty. She looked the other way and picked up the bottle and poured the final remaining red wine on to her glass and carelessly dropped the bottle on the wooden floor. Asami tipsily smiled at her own reflection in the wine glass.

Meanwhile outside her beach house, a sky bison appeared from the evening sky carrying a young girl in the prime of her teenage years. Sky bison gently lands on the ground. She swiftly jumps down from the sky bison and looked around facing the calm salty wind as her hair blew along with it in a slow rhythmic manner. She wears a dark maroon jacket over a light color t shirt and blue jeans along with leather boots. She walked towards the main entrance of the Asami's house and just before she press the doorbell she felt as if someone is at the front porch. She walked around the house to the part that faces the sea and then swiftly air bends herself over the front porch railing.

Asami saw her coming to the front porch.

"Jinora...?" said Asami as she couldn't see her clearly because she had little too much to drink.

"Yes... It's me..." said Jinora as she walked towards Asami with a smile on her face.

"I am sorry... I couldn't recognize you straightaway..." said Asami with a little stammer in her tone.

"How could you...! When you have finished a whole bottle of wine on your own..." said Jinora as she picked up the empty bottle.

"It's just that I didn't expect any visitors today..." said Asami as she sits up on her reclining chair.

"Tell me... how is your leg turning up...?" Jinora asked as she kneels near Asami laying her hands on the arm rest of the reclining chair.

Asami kept silent and sipped on her wine.

"Did you get it checked at the hospital...?" Jinora asked again and Asami looked away with a sigh.

Jinora took the glass of wine from Asami and kept it aside.

"Hey...!" said Asami.

"Yes...! I know it is your wine but that's enough for today..." said Jinora with a concerned tone.

"Did your dad sent you over to check up on me...?" asked Asami in a sarcastic tone.

"No... as a matter of fact he did not, but I overheard your dad talking over to my dad about you over the phone this morning. He was saying he is worried about you... he hasn't heard from you for days and you haven't visited the hospital since the day you left. He told my dad that you don't pick the phone either... so I thought I'll come by and check on you on my own..." said Jinora pursing her lips.
