Then we'll find teachers to guide your bending back to you. Bolin can train with you to earthbend and Mako's got firebending down, as for waterbending ... we'll take them one at a time and figure it out, together.
[ 'Can't call myself the Avatar anymore'. Shakes her head. ]
Toph Beifong's here, isn't she? Well, even if Avatar Aang turned up tomorrow bending the heck out of this place it wouldn't matter. We wouldn't want him.
He could take his bending and he could just ... push off.
[ Lips twitching, because if Avatar Aang actually showed up everyone would be spazzing for weeks. BUT NO, ASAMI WOULDN'T!! She would say excuse you, I have my quota of special snowflakes tyvm. ]
[That isn't -- she totally -- Asami doesn't get it. Of course she doesn't. She's not a bender. Korra wants to resent her optimism, but she can't help snorting when she talks about telling Aang to push off.]
Thanks.
[Korra feels empty. Not in a bad or barren way. It's the kind of emptiness when you've cried too much, even though she hasn't been crying -- when you've poured everything out from inside you and what's left is a cup, waiting to be filled again.
Suddenly, sharply, she wishes she could just bury her face in Naga's fur and sleep.]
I think I'm gonna go lie down for a bit.
[Half-statement, half-question -- she wants to leave, but she doesn't want Asami to think she's running away.]
... Alright. [ A light touch to Korra's arm and she heads to the door. ] I'm going to take a look around the city, I'll see you when I get back. Try not to worry too much, Korra.

It'll be okay.
