Asami slowly approached the enraged avatar, wrapping her arms around Korra’s waist only to feel her relax against her.
“I’m so sorry.” Korra whispered, her voice breaking as she turned and buried her face against the engineer’s clothing.
“You have nothing to be sorry for. All of this has to be hard on you.” Asami replied soothingly, resting her chin against the shorter girl’s hair.
“I have snapped at you last night and now I’ve hit you. What if I fire bent at you? What if you get hurt?” Korra replied, earning a light sigh and glare.
“Korra…you won’t. I trust you.” Asami assured, rubbing circles on the avatar’s back.
“I want you to promise me that if I get out of control that you will leave. I want you to be safe.” Korra said after a while, pulling away and wiping her eyes.
“I won’t make any promises…I want to help.” The engineer retorted, earning a sigh.
“I….I won’t argue with you ‘Sami. But please, for me….don ‘t let yourself get hurt!” Korra replied.
They set up camp outside of Toph’s cave, Korra pressed close against Asami’s side as she struggled to find sleep, however with her girlfriend lightly running her fingers through her hair sleep eventually found her.
