Korra groaned as they followed the spirit, they had been walking for hours.
“where are we going?”
She asked for what seemed the twelfth time that hour.
“in there.” Guāng replied cheerfully, pointing to a small cavern.
“alright…I’ll go. Asami…you stay here with Desna and Eska.” She stated, walking off before Asami could argue.
“Wait…you’re Toph.” Korra began, her eyes widening as she noticed where the spirit lead her.
“So we meet again twinkle toes.” The old woman replied, turning to face the group.
Asami sighed as she fed Naga a stick of seal jerky, earning a nuzzle of appreciation.
“Do you think Toph can help her?” she asked the twins who sighed.
“If anyone is able to it will be her.” Eska replied from where she was idly water bending an orb of water into various shapes.
Suddenly Korra came out of the cave, sliding down beside of Asami before adding
“She wants to metal bend the poison out of me…But I’m kind of nervous.”
Her voice was barely a whisper, though it only caused Asami to take her hand.
“Would you like for me to sit with you?” Asami offered, earning a sigh.
“Thanks...just don’t get too close. When the poison comes out….just touching it could hurt you.” Korra answered, gently kissing Asami’s cheek.
“Okay…but what about those two?” Asami replied, earning a chuckle.
“They can come…I just…I know if I lose control I’ll never hurt you.” The avatar answered, nuzzling against her.
Every time that the older woman had managed to move the metal just an inch Korra would scream, bolting up and accidently knocking Asami backward.
“Well…you have to bend it out yourself then. It’s like you want to keep the mercury inside you.” Toph stated, earning a glare.
“Why the hell would I want to keep poison inside me? I feel like I have multiple bricks sitting inside me!” the avatar snapped, though she felt a hand on her shoulder.
“what I mean is that whatever fear this is that you are feeling needs to be let go before you can heal.” The original metal bender replied, just as Korra stormed out.
“I’m sorry about her…” Asami began, earning a chuckle.
“Well you have your work cut out with that one.” Toph replied with a shrug.
