Korra awakens an hour later as the noon day sun shone through the curtains. "Asami." She says calling out to her friend looking around the room. She sighs as she turns over into oversized pillows catching the scent of Asami's jasmine shampoo. It was 12:12 pm. "She'd be at work by now." The caramel skinned avatar says looking at the clock.
She closes her eyes having dreamed about the young CEO again. It felt so real. She wondered if her Gran had seen into her mind somehow. Maybe that's why she brought up the lars in the southern water tribe.
Korra suddenly irritated shakes her head and tosses the pillow to the foot of the king sized bed as she lays down flat on her back. "Gran Gran doesn't know what she's talking about. Just because she was married to Aang she thinks she knows me. Tsk, she's so old she forgot I was dating Mako a few months ago. A guy Gran Gran, a guy!" She says closing her eyes with a heavy sigh.
Her mind flashes back to when she found out Asami and Mako were dating. She hated seeing the two of them together. She huffs opening her eyes feeling anger rising in her belly. Korra sits up and takes a deep breath rolling her eyes. "Geez Gran what did you do to me? Why am I so mad? It's not like their still together. They can do whatever they want to." She pouts.
She grunts loudly grabbing the pillow from the foot of the bed then slamming her face into it. "Ugh... Gran why'd you have to say something like that! It's so stupid. Asami likes guys and... so do I." She says into the pillow as she lies back down. "So what if it was the same guy. It's not like it means anything." Her eyes become lidded as she remembers her dream. Korra gives her head a quick shake and sighs. "It doesn't mean anything."
She sits up then grabs the sheet of paper on the night stand. It was her treatment schedule for the week. No sooner had she picked it up than she heard a loud crash downstairs. Then Bolin's voice as the bedroom door flies open. "SORRY! Sorry!" He yells as Naga leaps onto the bed licking Korra's face.
She laughs then winces. The 1258 lb polar bear dog was lying on Korra's legs. "Ah, ah....calm down girl, off off, come on. Oww..." She says as Naga whimpers getting off the bed but still licking the avatar's face.
Bolin comes running in. "Korra! I am so sorry. Naga got a little excited and broke the front door down. I'll fix it. I promise." He says as Pabu jumps off his shoulder onto the bed and into Korra's lap. Naga growls as Pabu climbs onto her shoulder and kisses her cheek. Korra rubs both of their heads.
"Awww, their just so cute together." Bolin says watching them. "Oh hey, I'm here to take you to the doctor. Are you ready?"
Korra stares at him completely annoyed.
"Uhhh..." He says seeing that she's still in a night shirt. He immediately covers his eyes and tries to back out of the room. "Oh geez, I'm sorry I'm sorry...crap...sorry." He knocks over a lamp on his way out the door.
Korra shakes her head. She would smile but she's aching all over now thanks to Naga. She looks at her animal companion and sighs. "I don't suppose you can get some clothes out of that drawer for me, can you girl?" Naga cocks her head to the side then licks Korra's face. The avatar laughs. "Yeah I didn't think so."
The battle with Zaheer really did a number on her body. It wasn't just the poison. The fight left her lower back and legs badly injured. Hence the need for physical therapy. This would be her first official meeting with Doctor Guo since he helped heal Lin in Zaofu a month ago. She would also be meeting a massage therapist from the Earth Kingdom too.
She swallows hard as she grabs her thigh and the back of her knee to slowly move her legs off the bed. She couldn't help but yell out. The nerves were so sensitive. Bolin knocks on the door. "Korra..."
