Chapter Text
Korra giggled with delight as she tugged along an excited Asami. Korra didn’t get out of the compound very often, but to be able to trick or treat with her new friend was an adventure. Sure the White Lotus were hovering around, but she ignored them, choosing instead to pretend that only her parents were escorting the two of them.
Asami had painstakingly put together a Kyoshi warrior costume. Korra’s parents had been astounded by the details. Their own daughter had picked up all the hair Naga had recently shed and stuck it to her own body.
"At least the smell is accurate" Senna had whispered to her husband. The two girls bounded from door to door while the Water Tribe parents trailed behind leisurely. Asami tripped suddenly over a rock hidden in the snow and scraped her hands.
"Mom! Help!" Korra called, holding her friend’s wounded hands. Senna looked to Tonraq, silently asking if he wanted to handle the situation. Instead of nodding and going to help, he gestured for her to take the lead.
As patiently as possible, she knelt beside the young girl and mentally begged for her not to cry. If Asami cried, Korra would not be long after. She made a great show of taking the small hands into her own and inspecting them as closely as possible.
She knew there was no real damage and she could heal it if she wanted to, but it wasn’t really worth it. There was an opportunity for learning and bonding here, so she decided to take it.
"Korra honey, do you remember what master Katara has been teaching you?" she asked calmly. Korra snuffled and nodded.
"Do you want to try it? I think Asami would feel better if you did it" Her daughter seemed to perk up at the suggestion and quickly bent the snow from the ground and formed it into water around her hands.
The pain on Asami’s face transformed into wonder as she watched the skin on her palms knit together in front of her eyes. She grinned at her friend as the water fell to the ground, finished. Her arms latched around Korra in a tight hug.
Senna could almost swear she saw the young Avatar blush, but she figured that was a conversation for another day.
