There might be a magic llama?

[Yeah, not helpful, but it's all Korra's got. And she isn't entirely sure of the validity of the possible magic llama.]

It's not so bad...I mean, this world. There's lots of stuff to explore, and some really great people here from completely other worlds that we'd never even know about.

And...there's a lot of things I've really wanted to show you.

[Asami laughs- a real one, one that she needed. If it were anyone else she's not sure if that would have been her response, but she feels safe with Korra, even when they're miles away from each other.]

If Avatar Korra likes it here, I'm sure I can make do too.

[Not having a direct way back still doesn't sit right with her, but she's with Korra. She'd be more than fine.

Her expression softens into a look of tenderness- while she'd much rather Korra be in front of her, that she could actually see her smile and her blue eyes with this odd phone was a comfort Asami solely needed.]

Well, it's no Spirit World, but at least we'll get that vacation. And we'll have all the time we need here.

[Korra smiles broadly.]

The worst part's really that bending doesn't work here. Except sometimes. It's...it's complicated.

[And there's the center! Finally! Korra feels like getting from one end of town to the other has never taken so long before.]

Yeah. We will. We'll see everything. There's so much I have to tell you...

[Asami will never know what it's like to have and lose something like bending, so she can only imagine how painful it must be.]

Oh, but... you're okay, right?

[Of course she's okay, but Asami can't help but worry. It would be as if she woke up one day and all of her knowledge and experience with machinery was just gone. A dedicated passion just snuffed out.]

And I can't wait to see it all. And you.

[She remembers what that woman, Elsa, said about Asami having been here before and the question gnaws at her, but she decides it can wait. If she was here with Korra- and she probably was- she trusted the other woman to tell her anything that might have happened between them.]

Yeah, I'm fine. It's not like they took it away, it just...doesn't work here. It's the same for everybody. There's no weapons or anything, either. It's a really peaceful place. Aside from Pokemon battling, but that's more like pro-bending than anything else.

[It's a sport, it's not like it's dangerous. And Korra's pretty good at it. Training her Pokemon has taken the place of her own bending practice, and she's spent the year finding ways to use their abilities to mimic her own.]

Ten more minutes, I promise.

Well, I guess of all the places to accidentally take a vacation in, we got pretty lucky.

[Comparing training to pro-bending piques Asami's interest a little; maybe this whole training thing wouldn't be so bad.]

Don't worry about it, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be waiting outside of New Bark Town.

[For now she's not going to question how Korra can get here so fast. She hasn't seen much of it, but the technology of this world was obviously more advanced compared to back home.]

That's really the best way to look at it. Like an unexpected vacation. And...some spots here are just as amazing as the Spirit World.

[Korra can barely wait for the brief time it takes to warp from Mahogany to New Bark. Even those few minutes seems like too long. In a way it's...kind of a relief, that Asami's coming from that point in time.]

[The last time...they'd hardly had any time at all. It was like they just kept starting and never getting passed that, at least not on the same page. But this time...]

[Maybe they can finally have a relationship.]

[Within five or so minutes, Korra is on top of Iqniq the Arcanine, bolting to the edge of New Bark.]

[Asami's found herself a stump to sit on while she waits, watching her vulpix while it investigates their surroundings. Her thoughts, of course, are about Korra- she had been here a year. How had she changed since then? What were things like between them when Asami was here before? It's a little worrying to think about, another year where she couldn't be there with Korra.

Well, maybe she'd just have to make up for it.

Her vulpix suddenly turns with a hiss as something big approaches them- Asami turns in time just to see the flash of orange fur hurdling towards her.

She abruptly stands, but not because of the strange tiger-dog, but because of who was riding it.]

Korra!

[Asami's heart skips a beat at the sight of her, her face lighting up in excitement. Her vulpix, thoroughly unimpressed, skitters into some nearby shrubbery.]

[Korra's leaping off of Iqniq's back while he's still moving, and she hits the ground running. Every other thought is gone from her head as she rushes to Asami. She doesn't even respond to her name being called. This is real. Asami's here. She's right here and they're finally going to do all the things they ever said they would...]

[It's only a handful of steps and then she's sweeping Asami into her arms, lifting the taller woman up and holding her tightly.]

[Korra always puts her heart into her hugs, and Asami can feel this one is no exception. She laughs, throwing her arms around the other, squeezing her close. It had only been a few hours from Asami's perspective, but knowing that Korra hadn't seen her in a year made the embrace more emotional.]

Sorry I kept you waiting so long.

Not your fault.

[Or anybody's, really. It was just how this weird world worked. People came, people went, sometimes they came back, sometimes they remembered being here and sometimes they didn't. But it doesn't matter right now. Asami's in her arms and Korra's almost afraid to let go.]

[Inqniq bounds in a happy circle, rump wiggling and ears pricked forward, sharing his trainer's excitement.]

[After a moment of burying her face in Asami's hair, Korra finally loosens the hug and draws back a little, bright eyed and smiling wide enough to make her face ache.]

[Asami doesn't think she'll ever get over how right this feels, being in Korra's arms like this. She affectionately presses her cheek to Korra's before she pulls back, the look of tenderness on the Avatar's face pulling at her heart. She can't even begin to imagine how Korra must feel, but if it was anything like Asami had felt...

She cups Korra's face in her hands and gives her a soft, tender kiss. Korra must have gone too long without one.]

Well, now we can finally get this vacation started. [She laughs breathlessly after she pulls back. Finally she manages to look away from Korra and at the arcanine, eyebrows lifting in interest. She hadn't exactly not noticed Inqniq before, but... well, Korra.]

And who's this?
