the talk

Asami sit down,” Korra said for what she felt was the 1000th time. Asami and Yaskouo were staying with Korra and her family.

What Asami was
supposed to be resting her ribs were still bruised and she had broken ankle. But she still manages to hobble around Korra's room

Asami turned around sticking her tongue out at Korra “ you can't tell me what to do” Korra rolled her eyes

Senna was walking by the room she had just been talking with Yaskuo. She peeked into the girls room. “Asami, you need to rest,” she scolded. “Ugh I hate this, I can't do anything” Asami said dramatically. Sitting down all day is boring.

“Well I'd you would heal faster if you Sat. Down.” Senna said while raising her eyebrows.

“But what I really came here for was the laundry”. Senna walked over to the basket and found that most of Korra's clothes were hazardly thrown over by the basket.

“Korra, what did I tell you about cleaning up your clothes? I don't think Asami wants to see your dirty boxers on the floor.”

“Mommm your embarrassing me” Korra said burying her face in the pillows on her bed.

“Oh it's ok Mrs senna I really don't mind” Asami said trying to ease some of Korra's
embarrassment

Once senna left the room there was an awkward silence.

“Korra, can I ask you a question? ”

“Sure what is it” Korra said as she turned her head to look at Asami

“Why.. do you only wear boxers” Asami said regretting asking as soon as she said it.

“Well I was born intersex which means I have both female and male traits like I have a feminine face and voice but my chest is mostly flat and more broad. And the reason I wear boxers is
because I was born with” Korra took a deep breath “ I was born with male… parts. I really hope you don't mind”

I don't mind sorry if I asked you something you didn't want to talk about but really it doesn't change how I see you.

Before Korra could say anything else her mom called them for lunch and their conversation ended with a look.
