Asami was getting out of the bath when she heard a loud voice, coming out as a roaring, that she knew to be Tonraq's.

"I have to see her, Kya, I've got to!"

"Tonraq, please, calm down. She is struggling in her sleep right now, and I have to focus on the water-therapy so I can help her."

"But the girl, Asami, got in earlier! And I'm her father!"

"Tonraq, you have to work on your patience-"

"Stop, Tenzin! What if it was Jinora in there?"

"Then I would trust my sister and do whatever it took to help in the process"

Asami could picture Tenzin's expression, and she couldn't help grinning. She got dressed quickly, and hurried to Korra's door.

"Chief Tonraq", she said confidently. She was used to dealing with great company owners, she could handle him. "I know you worry about Korra, and so do I. But if you stay, you'll disturb Kya, and she need concentration to help her. Later, when Korra calm down, Kya will have to take care of herself, and then you take a shift watching your daughter" Asami could see her words taking effect. "Right now, if you agree, we can head outside and I will tell you everything I saw when I stood there"

Tonraq hesitated, he wasn't used to receiving instructions from women, especially 19 year-old ones, but her speech seemed reasonable, so he nodded and followed her outside.

Asami stared at the horizon, refusing to look at Tonraq's eyes. "She spoke with me this morning. She woke up, but it didn't take two minutes for her to fall asleep again. I didn't tell Kya about it, or Tenzin, or anyone, because I don't want to give them false hopes. But I had to tell you this". She finally looked at the man, who stood astonished in front of her. "I know it's a lot of information".

"Did she... wake up? And how was she?"

"She was not fine, but she seemed peaceful, despite the nightmares. I didn't have time to ask anything, she didn't take long to fall back asleep"

"When you sent Jinora to tell me that she couldn't find Korra's spirit, it worried me so much..."

"Don't worry. She's injured, but she will be fine"

"Thank you, Asami" Tonraq messed her hair with his hand, like he usually did with Korra, and left.

In the next morning, a ship arrived in the Air Temple Island, bringing Senna. The woman seemed tired, she was surely very worried about her daughter, but she carried a kind smile on her face. Tonraq was the first to go towards her, and they shared a long hug.

Asami watched them carefully, trying to remember the last time she had someone to hug away her problems and concerns. She sighed deeply, and focused on Tenzin, who took a step ahead when the couple finally separated.

"Welcome, Senna" he said, bowing in front of her. "The Acolytes will help you to accomodate, make yourself home."

"Thank you, Tenzin. You are always so nice. Thank you for taking care of Korra... Where's she?"

"She's with Kya, I'm sure Tonraq can guide you there."

Tonraq nodded taking Senna's hand and they got inside.

"Tenzin?", asked Asami. "Wasn't master Katara supposed to come as well? I mean... Korra is the Avatar."

"I know, Asami, i know. But my mother stood in the South to prepare herself. She is leading the reform of a physical-therapy space. I'm sorry, Asami, but Korra's state may be worse than we thought. My mother has to gather all her power, so she is able to give her best to her."

"I understand, Tenzin." Asami said. "Maybe I can help with the construction of the physical-therapy room? I have building machines at Future Industries that can improve the velocity of the process."

"Asami, dear. It's beautiful to see your willingness to help, but this time of therapy is a lot spiritual, too. The tuning of the workers greatly influences the quality of the equipment. It has to be handmade, the wood has to be cut out bare hands, so the spiritual tune doesn't break. Do you understand it?"

"Yes, sure. Do you think I can get there... in the room?"

"My sister told me about your persistence to get in the room yesterday" Tenzin's expression was severe, but his tone was relaxed. "I think it's okay if you go in there. Tonraq and Kya know that you and Korra are more than mere friends"

Asami smiled and headed to Korra's room.

"Shhh... she's sleeping", whispered Kya as she opened the door to Korra's room.

"Did she... wake up?"

"I wish", Kya sighed. "Come in, quickly. It won't take much until I need to be left alone with her to start her "

Asami sat at a chair in the corner of the room, watching Korra's belly go up and down as she slept. Kya kept massaging her shoulders and chest with healing-water, and Senna was at her feet, and Asami knew exactly what expression was that. Senna felt useless, just as herself, Asami, did. For a moment, she considered going there and hugging the woman.

And once again, she thought about the last time she had hugged someone. The last time she held someone close enough to feel their heart against her chest. It hadn't been that long... It couldn't have been... Yes... she had given a hug in the last few days. But it hadn't been one that made her worries melt away. It had been caring, though. Extremely caring, like a life was depending on it...

Korra. She shared her last hug with Korra before she defeated Zaheer, and Asami sighed as she remembered it. She was so tense, so worried with Korra. She wished she could fight, instead of watching her do it by herself, but that hug made her a little more confident. She knew Korra would get through this, deep down.

Asami could remember every detail. How Korra's heart jumped in her chest, how her fingers squeezed her back, and how she corresponded, holding her closer. She could remember her smell, so unique. She smiled at the memory. Korra wasn't used to wearing perfumes, so her scent was really natural and indescribable. She had the scent of the elements... the peace of the water, the delicacy of the wind, the strenght of the earth and the power of the fire. She smelled like the grass and the rain and the warmth of a fireplace.

"Ms. Sato? Are you fine?", asked Senna in a whisper. "Were you daydreaming?"

"Yes... I guess I was", said Asami, startled. "Is everything fine?"

"It is, girl... but Kya says she needs to be alone with Korra now. We have to go now"

Asami nodded, still a little stunned after all her memories... what was that thing about Korra's scent?

She didn't know why, but she was also a little breathless.

A/N: Hey guysssssss! Sorry for taking so long to post, and for the confused chapter. I'm struggling with the setting here, and, as I said last chapter, I wanted to get deeper into Asami... I actually had a little more planned to this chapter, but I started to end with this fluff.

Hope you liked it!

Also, it would be nice if you send me messages about which time-zone you guys live, so I can post when you are awake :D

Aaaaaaaaaand, thanks to the person who got me in the Protecting The Avatar Community! (I don't know who it was because there are 47 people in the staff xD)

But thank you, thank you, thank you!
