[Asami makes a note to put together a wheelchair later on. She stretches her arms and stands up, brushing the grass off her clothes. Then nods at Korra]

I think I'm ready to head back now...Are you going to need some help?

[rebonding]

[Korra shakes her head.]

I can get around just fine on this, as long as I don't run into any branches.

[ex_automobiles598]

We'll take a clearer way out then. [She points to what she thinks is a nice clean path] This way seems good.

[rebonding]

[With a small nod, Korra begins bouncing down the grove. This bubble thing has actually been pretty easy to get used to.

It's normal that she would strike up a conversation right about now, but the thought doesn't cross Korra's mind. Maybe things have gotten easier, but she still isn't quite herself.]

[ex_automobiles598]

[Asami will admit, she's not use to the complete silence around Korra since she usually finds something to talk about. So she breaks the quietness first]

You know...if there's something on your mind and you wanna talk about it, you can always talk to me. I'm here to listen.

[That line sounds familiar]

[rebonding]

[Yes, it does. Korra appreciates Asami's concern as much as she dreads it.]

It's... just the same stuff.

[She admits that quietly.]

I can't really sleep.

[It's out before she can force herself to think twice.]

[ex_automobiles598]

[It's no secret that it has something to do with nightmares probably. She slumps her shoulders a little and folds her arms as she continues to slowly walk]

I'm sorry...I think I know some remedies that might help a little at least. They usually help with me.

[rebonding]

Like calming tea or something?

[Korra watches the narrow path rather than Asami. She's fairly confident that she knows what's been stuck on her mind.]

[ex_automobiles598]

That's one of them. I think one of the ships has some ginger.

[She has an idea on what the lack of sleep could be about]

But there are other things you can try if that doesn't work.

[rebonding]

I'll give it a try. It's not like I'm doing much else with myself, anyway.

[There's definitely a poutiness in her tone as she watches the roots and pebbles go by.]

[ex_automobiles598]

[Asami tries to give her smile but it comes out more uneven and melancholy than anything]

Just remember you have a lot of people on the crew willing to help out too.

[rebonding]

Yeah, I can show down the whole crew instead of just you.

[Korra regrets that as soon as it's out, but she keeps having these overly emotional moments around the people she's closest to. Toxic comments that are more self-berating than anything else.]

Sorry. [She adds that quietly. There's nothing worse than being completely useless.]

[ex_automobiles598]

What? Where do you get that?

[Asami has to fold her arms across her chest and give Korra a confused look while they walk. Confused, but concerned. Of course, feeling this way is understandable, so she manages to shake her head a little in response]

Don't worry about it.

ffuuuu I typoed. *slow down

[rebonding]

No, I'm sorry.

[She repeats that a bit more firmly.]

I... used to talk to Tenzin. When things got hard. Or Mako.

[Korra swallows. But they're not here right now.]
