"You're bringing a boy home?" Senna asked slowly, trying to process what she had just heard.

Korra rolled her eyes playfully.

"He's just coming to practice."

Her father groaned loudly.

"I can't believe my little girl is bringing the school bully into MY house," Tonraq grumbled crossing his arms.

"He's not the school bully, Tahno is," the Waterbender corrected.

"Is there a difference?"

"Dad!"

"What?" he slightly growled.

"Promise you won't scare him off."

Her father grinned broadly

"Now why would I do that?" he replied playfully.

"Please!" his daughter whined.

Tonraq laughed as he pulled Korra into a hug kissing her forehead. The Avatar smiled as she hugged him back.

"Just let him know that he better not try any funny business."

The younger Waterbender laughed.

"Don't you trust me?"

"I trust you. It's him, I don't trust."

Korra groaned loudly leaning against her father. Senna placed a hand on her cheek while smiling.

"Don't worry, I'll keep your father busy," she reassured.

Tonraq groaned and Korra laughed again before hearing the doorbell ring.

"I got it!" she said bolting towards it.

"No funny business!" her father called after her.

"Ooookkkaaayyyyy!"

"Hey," Mako greeted as Korra opened the door.

"Hi," she replied.

"So we're going to practice out here right?"

She blinked at him before nodding.

"Oh yeah, I don't want to tear my own house down."

The Firebender nodded and followed her to the backyard. He got into his stance and they sparred until the sun went down. Mako didn't know how many times he had been knocked on the floor by his teammate but he figured it had been a lot of times when he could feel his back hurt as much as his injured leg.

"I give up," he stated lying on the floor.

Korra chuckled as she stood over him, a smirk across her face.

"You can't hang!" she teased.

He raised a brown and she laughed. The Firebender narrowed his eyes at her before sending a fireball that barely missed her head, making her dive onto the ground. He laughed as he got up, but stopped when he saw his teammate pale.

"Hey are you ok?" Mako asked.

The Avatar nodded as she placed a hand over her chest.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, you scared me, that's all," Korra replied getting up. "Made my heart skip a beat."

"The mighty Avatar was scared?" the Firebender teased. "Alert the press."

They laughed.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" Mako asked.

"See you tomorrow," the Waterbender replied.
