Together Asami and Mako plans going for a search looking for Avatar Korra…

Somewhere in Republic City

Lin felt the cold wind embraces her as she stared in to the illuminated nightly cityscape. She has her hair down which makes her look slightly different than usual and wears a darkest green medium length bodycon dress with cross-back design. Deep in her heart she felt lonely and she curled her arms feeling the cold breeze. She thought that he would never come and it is foolish of her to wait for him. Lin already feels like a different person as things have started to change in her.

“Lin…” she heard a familiar voice from behind and he turned leaning her back against the metal railing. She saw Tenzin staring at her and she happily smiled at him.

“I thought you’d never come…” said Lin an emotional tone.

“I am sorry if I kept you waiting but…” said Tenzin pausing.

“…. But?” said Lin wanting him to continue.

“I mean… err but I never expected to see you like this… In a dress, and err your hair down, you looks…” Tenzin stammered having his attention stolen away by Lin.

“….I looks…?” asked Lin in a playful tone leaning towards him.

“Ravishing…. You look ravishing tonight…. It’s been a while since the last time I saw you like this” said Tenzin walking over to her and leaning against the metal railing. Lin chuckled softly and looked down with a smile.

“I was expecting to see you in your regular metal bending police uniform because you didn’t tell me the reason why you wanted me here…” said Tenzin looking in to the nightly sky as the wind blew towards him. Lin exhaled sharply.

“I just wanted to see you…. You and I now live in a world without an avatar for the first time in ten thousand years…” Lin said softly.

“I just don’t know what to say…. As her mentor I’m a complete failure. She died because of my ignorance. Tonraq and Senna couldn’t say it to my face but i saw it in their eyes” said Tenzin closing his eyes looking down in shame.

“I lost all hope when I heard Zaheer killed Korra back in frozen north. He knows how to get rid of avatar permanently. I understand why you are feeling so guilty but it is not your fault Tenzin” said Lin laying her hand on Tenzin’s hand which was resting on the metal railing. From the moment he saw her; he knew why she asked him to come see her. She wanted some company because she felt lonely after a very long time.
