"We shouldn't have said anything. They're happy together, and we should have left it at that. They didn't care about what other people thought of them. They-they just wanted to be honest about who they are to us," Senna rambled on and on to her husband as they laid in bed trying to sleep. "Tonraq...they trusted us, and we let them down. They think we don't accept them."
"Honey, that's not true. You and I both know that we love them and accept them no matter what they are. And because we love them, we tried to warn them of those who wouldn't treat them like we would. Korra's our daughter, and she'll come to her senses and realize that. Then we can all sit down together and talk about it. She just needs space right now," her husband replied.
"It's just...we sounded like my parents sounded when I was a teenager."
"Senna, we are not your parents. We would never do that to our daughter."
Senna rolled over, facing away from Tonraq so he couldn't see the tear that slipped down her face. She closed her eyes and breathed. The more she reflected back on her parents the angrier she got with herself. Finally, she sat up and turned over her shoulder.
"I need some air," she spoke as she threw on her robe to go outside.
"I'll come with you," he insisted.
"No, Tonraq," Senna replied harshly. "I want to be alone." She stood up and exited their sleeping chambers, leaving her husband alone to ponder their conversation.
"I would never do that to my daughter. I would never do that to my daughter," Senna whispered quietly to herself as she walked the halls of their home. "I would never do that to my daughter."
