( when you needed it, korra smiles, something soft and pleased. one foot in a meditative trance, one in the real world, here with mako. it's a pleasant, but vulnerable place to be - the expression on her face is airy but genuine, not a lie to be found in the creases of her smile lines. )
You needed help and I need you, so. It worked out.
( it is a little ... borderline girlfriend-y. she doesn't mean it in that way, of course, and really has nothing but platonic feelings towards mako now, but you know. there are some things you aren't supposed to say to someone you used to whisper i love you to in between kisses. she doesn't think mako will take it the wrong way, though, if only because their destinies are woven with each other into the sands of time. of course she needs him. of course she's always needed him. she wonders if mako has a tally mark on how many times he's saved her life without question.
anyway, even if she wasn't the avatar, she would've learned airbending to save him. at least, she likes to think she would've.
her hand positions change again, and now there's - a crinkle in her brow, a frown set on her mouth. she wriggles a little bit, shifting in her seat, shoulders rising up straighter. )
I think I — feel something. Maybe. It's difficult to ... know. ( she twists more, settles. ) It's not something I've felt before.
