Chapter Text
“Tell me about pro-bending. I catch all your matches, but I want to know what it’s really like out there.”
“It’s pretty amazing. Except when you get totally beaten.”
Asami laughed. “You have the Avatar on your team now, right? That must be pretty surreal.”
“She’s actually so... human. I mean, when I first met Korra I would never have guessed who she was. I was... actually pretty rude to her.”
“Wow. I wouldn’t want to be rude to the Avatar.”
“Well, I had no idea, like I said. But she’s actually a regular person mostly. Except, you know, she’s kind of a world protector.”
“What’s she like? I mean, just as a friend, not when she’s, you know, protecting the world?”
Asami was intrigued despite herself. She’d known the Fire Ferrets had the Avatar on their team now, but she hadn’t really thought about what it would be like to date someone who was friends with one of the most naturally powerful people on the planet.
“She’s... pretty great, actually. Although she can be really headstrong. And reckless. Even joining our team was like a split-second decision for her.”
“Huh. Do you think I’ll get to meet her?”
“Probably. I mean, all you’d have to do is drop by after practice sometime. Or there’s actually this event tonight that some councilman is throwing in her honour.”
“Yeah, I think my father mentioned it. we’ll probably be there.”
“I’ve gotta go now, but I’ll see you there?”
“Definitely.” Asami flipped her hair back over her shoulder and watched Mako leave. She had certainly not expected her week to go like this.
