Korra laughed as the small light spirit climbed onto Asami’s head, commenting how soft her hair was.
“I swear avatar if this is a trap I’ll destroy you and that blasted little creature both!” Desna whispered to Korra who just rolled her eyes.
“Oh shut up Desna. He’s friendly.” She retorted just as the spirit—who Korra remembered was called Guāng—leaped onto Desna’s shoulder, only to be knocked onto the ground by the young chief.
“Desna!” all three girl’s stated as the creature flashed purple before running over to Korra.
“Not you too sister!” He groaned, earning a glare from Eska.
“It will not hurt you.” She retorted, as it hid its face against Korra.
“Stupid sprit...hypnotized them all.” He grumbled, stomping off.
“Disregard my brother…He is temperamental this morning.” Eska stated, slowly resting a hand on Guāng’s head earning a knowing smirk from Korra and Asami.
“You two look alike…but you’re nice.” The spirit said confused, slowly crawling on Eska’s lap.
“Eska? Nice? Maybe in her sleep.” Korra joked, turning her attention to Asami who was marking their path on a map.
“How far we gotten miss smarty pants?” she asked, earning a laugh from Asami.
“around three miles.” Asami answered, looking up as Eska ran chasing the spirit.
“hey…maybe this trip will be good for all of us. I mean look at Eska, even as kids I never saw her or Desna playing like that.” Korra stated, smiling slightly as the two shoved Desna into the mud.
“Maybe…but we have to reach the middle of the swamp to find whatever or whoever we’re being lead to.” Asami stated, earning a sigh as Korra gently took her hand.
“You want to get back to your dad. I understand that….I just don’t want to rush anyone.” She stated, earning a small smile.
“I know Korra. You don’t hear me complaining do you?” Asami retorted, forcing a smile as she remembered the words in her father’s letter.
Naga suddenly licked her. Catching her so off guard that she fell over.
“Love you too Naga.” She muttered, lightly rubbing the polar bear dog’s nose before sitting back up.
Korra just laughed at her girlfriend’s reaction to the affectionate hybrid.
“What on earth are those three doing?” Asami stated suddenly causing the avatar to turn toward where her two cousins and the light spirit were chasing each other, Desna covered in flower petals and mud as he tried to water bend the muck at his sister and Guāng.
“Well that’s a side of them I never imagined to see.” Korra laughed, shaking her head at their antics.
