Does anything happen on the way there?

A Connection

Asami huddled inside the saddle of Tenzins sky bison. Korra sat up front closest to his neck, and grabbed the reigns. With a "Oogi, yip yip!" They were on their way.

A few hours into the flight, Korra and Asami has burned through every road trip game and awkward small talk they could think of, leading to what Korra dreaded most about the situation: awkward silence. Asami attempted to break it. "So, I never did ask, why exactly did you strip down and become a pro-bending ring girl?" Korra nearly spat out the water she was sipping, not anticipating that question. "Asami, this isn't something I like doing, okay? I just wanted to make some extra cash and support Bolin, it's not like I'm overjoyed to show off my body to the whole world." Asami sneered a bit. "Is that why you were posing for the cameras once your undies came loose?"

Korra didn't have a counter argument for that. Instead she just slouched forward, flustered. Asami tried to console her. "Hey, come on, I'm not trying to be mean. You're a confident person, I like that about you." She placed a hand on her shoulder. That helped, a bit. They locked eyes with a loving look between them, slowly moving closer to each other.

Oogi roared, interrupting their tender moment. They had arrived.
