Korra sat down carefully next to her girlfriend. She was curled up into a ball, eyes staring distantly at the moon over the sea. Definitely not okay. She fixed her own eyes on the astral body, trying to quell her worry and impatience. Asami would speak up when she was ready.
Finally, the heiress said something. “I'm not really okay with fire.”
Korra was puzzled for a moment, then remembered who Asami had lost. A “But..." escaped her before she closed her mouth, trying to organize her thoughts.
Asami immediately realized what she was struggling with and shook her head. "It's different. I don't usually mind fire. I can fight firebenders, no problems, I don't even feel uncomfortable when you're practicing your katas. But... when the building was burning, the fire all around me... It choked, I coulnd't escape it. It reminded me of that night."
Wordlessly, Korra reached out to touch her shoulder. When she wasn't rebuffed, she pulled the girl to her, creating a small hollow between their bodies. She cupped Asami's palm and with a measured breath, made a flicker of flame come to life over the pale skin. They sat together the night in warm silence.
