Mako proposed to Korra in private last night, which the Avatar gladly accepted. They were now in her father's house along with the rest of Team Avatar.
"So Mako had asked for your blessing already?" Korra asked her dad.
"Yes, three days ago. Wanna know how he did that?" Tonraq replied, grinning mischievously.
"No, no, no! Sir! Please don't tell anybody!" Mako waved his hands no, horrified.
Tonraq and Senna chuckled. Korra dismissed Mako's pleas and leaning towards her father, telling him, "Go on, Dad!"
"So, Korra, your fiancé approached your mother and me one night three days ago and I was like…"
"Mako! What is it?" Tonraq inquired. He and his wife were outside in the snow, gazing at the southern lights when their daughter's boyfriend approached them.
"Uh… Chief Tonraq, sir… I-I-I need to a-ask you something. You don't need to g-give me an, um… a-answer right now… if you need time to… to… to t-think it through… I-I would understand"
"Spit it out already!" Tonraq commanded forcefully.
"Uh… Chief T-Tonraq, s-sir… and Queen Senna… um," Mako took a deep breath, paused and then said quickly, "I-I'm asking for your h-hand in m-marriage."
Tonraq and Senna were taken aback. Mako was quaking and avoiding Tonraq's glare.
"If you d-don't want to, I-I would still r-respect your d-decision"
"Did you just ask for my hand in marriage?" Tonraq growled, leaning towards Mako menacingly as the latter tilted backward. He was the most intimidating man in the world.
"Uh, y-yes, sir, that's what I'm requesting of you… wait, what?"
"Why, yes of course, my love!" Tonraq grabbed Mako by his arms and pulled him to his chest. Senna giggled.
Mako was mortified, stammering, "N-No Sir! That-That's not what I mean!"
"Take me with you," Tonraq said exaggeratingly as he swiftly moves Mako down to the side, making him yelp; Tonraq continues, "And let's run away together," supporting Mako's body with his right arm and holding his face with his left hand, "and make love all night long!" Tonraq puckers up his lips for a mock kiss.
"Chief T-Tonraq, sir!" Mako stuttered, inching away from Tonraq. Senna was already laughing, her stomach already hurting.
"Where's my betrothal necklace? Give me one!" Tonraq demanded, grabbing Mako's shoulder by his free hand, his eyes bulging.
"Sir, no!"
Korra was laughing so hard that tears ran from her eyes. Bolin was banging his fists on the table as he was snickering, his face flat on the table. Pabu was perched on Bolin's shoulder, also seeming to laugh. Asami's face turned red from too much giggling. Mako moaned and banged his forehead on the table in embarrassment, and covered his head with his scarf, as if it could make him invisible. "I was just too nervous!" He exclaimed. This did not stop them from laughing.
