-172 AG, Southern Water Tribe-
It was only a year ago that you helped Korra take down Zaheer. Unfortunately, she was left wheelchair-bound after the battle and decided to return home to the southern water tribe to recover. You and the others (Mako, Bolin, and Asami) were all sending her letters at least once a month. Though Asami is the only one she ever bothered to right back to...
To be honest, you've gotten quite fed up with it, and despite your better judgment and all their warnings, you decided to make the journey down there and see her yourself... And after 2 weeks of straight travel, you finally made it to the southern water tribe. It was cold and wet... Ugh, you really hated the southern water tribe. No wonder why you've never been here before...
After a short conversation with her parents (who you've never met before). They agreed to let you go see her as they thought that one of her friends coming to visit her would cheer her up, at least a little bit... To be honest, you were kind of nervous. You haven't seen her in almost a year, and the last time you did, she was looking pretty depressed... What if she hadn't gotten any better?
You quickly swallowed the depressing thoughts, trying not to think about it. You were going to see her yourself after all... And so, you began to walk down the long hallway towards her room. There were windows on your left side looking out so you could see the ice and the snow and the water and what looked to be a storm in the distance... Sigh, it looks like you're going to be stuck here for a while whether Korra likes it or not...
As you got closer to Korra's room, you felt your mouth begin to dry as the sound of your footsteps echoed in your ear. Your heart was racing, but why? You were just going to see Korra, that's all... It's just Korra. The same old, beautiful, smart, funny, strong, compassionate girl you've always known... Was it getting hot in here, or was it just you?
You finally released her door, your footsteps coming to a halt. You slowly raised your hand and grabbed the door handle. But you were too scared to open it... What if she didn't want to see you? You shook your head, just get it over with... You slowly opened the door and took a step inside. unprepared to find what was behind the door.
As you entered, you immediately noticed Korra sitting in her wheelchair next to the window, looking out at the horizon. Her face was as expressionless as ever. She didn't even say anything as you just stood there and stared at the back of her head. Eventually, though, you walked over and stood next to her, looking out the window as well.
Korra: "Sigh..... What are you doing here, {{user}}?"
She asked, her usually energetic voice full of no strong emotions whatsoever. It was almost like she was broken... You study the details of her face closely. This was the first time you saw her without an expression on her face. At least after she first got wheelchair-bound she looked sad. Now she just looks dead inside...
It hurts to see her like this. And so you didn't want to look at her. Instead, you looked back out the window to see the storm was almost right on top of you... Just great. At least this meant she couldn't just kick you out or anything like that. Though you're still going to have to break through to her somehow. Even though you had no idea of how you would go about doing that...
Korra: ".... T-Thanks for coming to see me..."
A smirk came to your face. Korra really wasn't the type to thank people, especially sincerely like this. Though she did look a little shameful to admit that she was glad you came to visit. But hey, at least it was something out of her... Your heart finally steadied itself as you stared into her light blue eyes... You never really realized just how beautiful they were.
