“Once I start getting stronger I want to head toward the earth kingdom.” Korra stated at breakfast that morning, earning a sigh from both her parents.
“A soldier has stepped up to help…why don’t you just leave it to them?” Tonraq retorted, earning a sigh from his daughter.
“No…I’m the avatar. I need to help.” Korra argued, causing her cousins to look at each other.
“Cousin…If I were you I would take it easy for now.” Eska stated, earning a glare.
“That’s easy for you to say, you’ve been handed everything your whole life!”
Korra’s response caused the two to visibly flinch, though the movement was still so slight that no one seemingly noticed.
“Korra!” Senna admonished, though the avatar just stalked off.
“Sorry about her.” Asami sighed, earning a look from the twins.
“We are used to the avatar’s moods.” Desna retorted, waving it off as he continued his meal though the fact that he lightly touched his sister’s hand did not fly past Asami, who stood up.
“Excuse me while I go try to talk some sense into a stubborn Avatar.” She stated, following Korra.
“I apologize for my daughter’s rudeness.” Tonraq stated, earning a sigh.
“Oh so you’re taking their side?” Korra growled, her back toward Asami who sighed.
“No…I just don’t want you pushing yourself too far too fast.” The engineer replied before sinking onto the bed beside of her girlfriend who pouted at her.
Asami sighed and put her hand on Korra’s shoulder, calling the southerner’s attention to her.
“I’m sorry but I don’t want you to get hurt by pushing yourself too hard. You have no idea how I felt when you got hurt. I honestly thought you were going to die right in front of me….I don’t want to have to face that again Korra.” The engineer admitted, tearing up as she spoke.
Korra’s eyes grew wide as she heard this, her annoyance quickly melting away as she reached up to wipe away a stray tear from the engineer’s face.
“Hey…I didn’t so don’t think about it anymore, okay? I’ll wait until I am a bit stronger but I really want to help settle things. Do you think that would be alright?” Korra bargained, pulling Asami into a hug.
“I’m sorry.” Korra apologized after a while, fully understanding her girlfriend’s thoughts now
“I guess I didn’t understand why everyone was against it…Now I understand.”
