“I hope Dad isn’t interrogating Asami too much.” Korra sighed, earning an amused chuckle from her mother.
“I think if he wanted to intimidate her he would have this morning.” Senna retorted.
Meanwhile Tonraq and Asami sat by the water’s edge as the former fished.
“You both dated Mako didn’t you?” he asked, earning a sigh.
“Yeah…long story.” She answered, earning a smirk.
“Relax…I’m not going to torture you or something.” He joked before glancing over at her and adding
“How’s your company doing?”
Soon Asami found herself discussing things freely with the southern chief, her nervousness melting and soon the topics switched to lighter topics—including embarrassing stories about the Avatar’s childhood. 
Korra sighed as she waited for their return, dusk settling over the area.
“You act as though uncle planned on feeding her to the Dolphin piranhas.” Desna stated, earning a glare.
“Shut up Desna.” Korra muttered, earning an amused look from both twins.
“Maybe they got attacked by a Polar bear dog?” Eska suggested, earning a dirty look.

“you would think by the way she is acting that Uncle detested Asami.” Eska stated as she watched as the avatar let the two end, bombarding them with questions.
“Cousin is somewhat ludicrous, Eska.” Her brother retorted.

“It didn’t help that I stepped on one’s tail.” Tonraq admitted, earning chuckle from his daughter
“Well at least that’s better than the time I tripped over that random otter penguin that took up homestead outside the compound.” The avatar admitted, causing her father to burst out laughing.
“You should have seen the look on your face.” He teased, earning a glare.
“Dad I was nine, it’s not funny.” Korra muttered, blushing.
Eska wordlessly headed toward their room, claiming on needing to bath. However Desna could see the fleeting look of longing in her eyes as she stood up. Though he didn’t have time to think of that at the moment because Senna then called everyone for dinner
