Asami was nervous about metting Korra's parents. She'd techinally met them once during the festival but now she was meeting them as their daughter's girlfriend.
Girlfriend, still getting used to that. She'd spent more then four months exploring the spirit world with Korra but she still was shy about being with her. She'd told Korra how she felt about her dozens of times when it was just the two of them.
But telling people was something else entirely. She wasn't ashamed of being with Korra, no but she was a bit worried of what her parents would think.
Then only other person Korra has brought home was Mako and that relationship ended a few weeks later. Korra on the other hand was complety oblivious to her girlfriends worries as the two of them sped across the icy tundra to Korra home. They opted to take the direct route from the spirit portal instead of going to Republic city first.
They only thing that was keeping Asami from complety freaking out was the small sliver of hope that Tonraq and Senna would accept the two of them.
"Korra are you sure that this was a good idea?" she asked as the Southen tribe started coming into view.
"Don't worry Asami. My parents will love you."
"Really? Becasue I have the distinct memory of your father giving Mako the evil eye."
"That was just my dad being protective. I mean it's not surprising, I come home after fighting a terrorist in a city wide war I bring a firebending boyfriend to the southern water tribe. Trust me Asami their going to love you"
Korra's coffidence, that was the one thing that Asami could always cling to when she needed it.
As they finally reaced the city and started speeding her way to Korra's home or as it everyone else called it the Cheif's palace she statred feeling nervous again.
As the snowmobile stopped and they got off Asami tried to compose herself as the guards bowed as they walked in.
Alright Asami you can do this. You've built a makshift raft out of a downed blimp and escaped a deadly sand spirit. Fought a giant mechinal mech that was destroying the city and reguraly manange a coorpation worth billions of yuans. Not to mention you gained the love of the avatar and the strongest person you know. This should be the easiest thing you've ever done.
The guards led them through the massive palace and through the various hals untill the entered a sitting room where she saw Tonraq and Senna along with Naga enjoying the fire. Them moment Korra stepped through the doorway Naga instantly charged her and knocked her down as she licked her face.
Tonraq was the next to move, in one move her picked up Korra and squeezed her in a tight hug.
"Korra! Why didn't you tell us you were comming?"
"Sorry dad but it was kind a spur of the moment thing."
It was Senna who finally took notice of Asami standing just beyond Korra. "Asami dear come over here already."
Nerversouly she walked in the room. As soon as she got close she was pulled into a hug by Tonraq catching her off guard. "Asami good to see you again."
"And you to Tonraq, Senna."
"Dad I know you missed me but do you think you can let us go now?"
"Sorry girls."
The moment he let go the two of them took deep breaths trying to breath again. When they were able to took a seat near the fire and prepared for the akward converstaion that was to come.
"So Korra where have you been for nearly five months? The last anyone saw of was at Varrik's wedding. The note you left just said that you and Asami were going on vaction for a while."
"Korra you didn't tell them where we were going?" Asami asked.
"Well I was in a bit of a hurry. Besides I kind of wanted to just enjoy our vaction without worrying about anything else. To answer you question dad we were in the spirit world."
"The spirit world? Isn't that dangerous?"
"It's actually peaceful. But I think being the avatar had something to do with it."
"Well I'm glad you were safe. The last time you left we didn't hear anyting from you for nearly two years."
"Yeah sorry about that but I had some things I needed to work out."
The two of them started to relax as they answered questions about the spirit and where they went and what they were doing. Asanim wanted to relax but the entire time Senna kept looking at Asami and smileing. Normaly she would't have thought this was strange, but the more ste looked the more she was sure that she knew.
She doesn't does she?
As if reading her mind Sena gave her a gentle nod before looking to Korra.
Okay she knows. But she seems happy about it right?
"Oh Korra I do belive that ther's something you've forgotton to tell us."
"And what's that?"
"Korra I'm pretty sure they know."
For the first time that evening Korra grew nervous as she looked at her parents.
"When? How?"
"Korra it really wasn't that hard to figure out. During your recovery Asami was the only one you'd open up to. You only sent letters to her, not to mention we overheard your little conversation the night you went on vaction."
Both Korra's and Asami's faces went red at the relaization. It was Asami who mananged to gain some composure and speak first.
"And what do you think of me being with Korra?"
"Asami it really doesn't matter what I think. What I know is that you make Korra happy, I know you'll always be there for her and really that's all that matters."
"Really?"
"What your father is actually trying to day dear is that we couldn't approve more of the two of you. Asami you're a lovely girl and I know that you'll kepp Korra out of trouble."
Asami didn't know what to say. A small part of her thought this would turn badely but she never expected to be accepted like this.
"And you were worried that they wouldn't like you."
"A girls' allowed to worried about meeting her girlfriend's parents."
Tonraq laughed before scooping up Asami in another hug. "You don't have to worry about that Asami."
"That's good to know."
"Yes now how about you and Korra head upstairs and get some rest. I assume you're going to be staying for while."
"Yeah just untill we can figure out where we're going next."
"Well I do hope you stay. I have so much I want to dicuss with Asami."
