[Naga tenses, and her growls rise in volume, but Korra presses harder against her and murmurs soothing nonsense...or perhaps it's more accurate to say, pleading nonsense. She understands why Naga doesn't like Hei, why she'd be upset, but she doesn't want him to go. Please let me have this.
And because Naga loves her, and because she doesn't sense any impending violence in Hei's manner, the polar bear dog goes quiet.
Korra shivers when he wraps his arms around her. He's holding her too tightly to wipe the tears off of her face, but she manages to turn herself so that she can bury her head against his chest and wrap her arms around him. (Naga carefully butts her head against Korra's back, encouraging the humans to go somewhere else.)]
