The spirit realm

Korra had never felt more like the Avatar; she let herself feel that brief thrill, grinning as shining light whirled around them. Together, she and Asami stepped out into the spirit realm.

She remembered when all this had been beyond her. Now it almost felt like home, like second nature. The realm stretched out all around them, glimpses of uncanny creatures flitting all about them, the infinite sky stretching out overhead. It somehow managed to be both natural and unnatural; everything was made of stone and trees and water, and yet it twisted into configurations she'd never have thought would be normal.

"Wow," Asami said.

Breathless, she looked around, stepping away from the new spirit portal. Korra chuckled; she'd give her a little distance. It ought to be safe.

It was kinda nice, too. Everyone always expected the Avatar to be an expert in, well, anything they happened to need at the time. It was nice to actually have that little extra knowledge for once.

"Impressive, huh?" Korra said. She hopped over a bump in the ground, nearing Asami. "Dream vacation, or dream vacation?"

"It's certainly..." Asami began.

Then she turned, just in time to see an odd ripple of spirit energy wash over Korra.

The Avatar had been wearing a more traditional Water Tribe dress, for the celebrations. Before her eyes the garment seemed to fade, like snow on a summer's day, dissipating to nothing along with whatever Korra had been wearing beneath.

The dress gave way to dark, toned skin. A pair of modest, firm boobs, the slit between her legs, and of course her legs themselves. Asami quirked an eyebrow.

"Moving a bit fast there aren't you?" Asami said.

"Huh? I- oh!" Korra glanced down at herself. Half-heartedly she crossed one arm between her tits, covering neither, just for something to do. She laughed awkwardly. "Uh, yeah, the spirit realm can react to what you're thinking. It's normally more intense if you're just here in spirit, rather than physically, but..."

She shifted slightly. She wasn't particularly worried about her modesty when it was just Asami, but she did wish the spirits had waited a little.

Tenzin would probably call it a reminder that she always had more to learn. Then again she'd much prefer it if Tenzin never heard about this.

"You were thinking about being naked?" Asami said.

Korra's eyes widened. Oh, real smooth.

"I- uh- I mean, we are here and- uh, I mean, if you wanted- I, uh, that is-"

Asami smiled, hiding her mouth behind her hand for a moment. Korra fell silent, uncertain.

"I didn't say I was complaining," Asami said.

Korra just about suppressed the urge to thank the spirits.

"So..." Korra said.

She took a step closer. Huh, the spirit-ground felt odd beneath her bare foot. Then again so did the air against her skin; growing up at the South Pole wasn't exactly conducive to being naked outside at all.

She did look around quickly, making sure there were no peeping spirits. After a few seconds she let her arm drop, biting her lip as she tried to gauge Asami's reaction. She had expected to end up naked more on her own terms, rather than just standing there. Then again maybe there were pluses to getting to this sooner.

Asami moved closer as well; she only reluctantly closed the gap between them, too distracted running her eyes up Korra's form. Then her clothed body pressed against Korra's nudity and their lips met.

The last thought that crossed Korra's mind before she was well and truly distracted, was that she hoped she could work out a way to get the spirit realm to provide her a new outfit before they had to go back.
