"Well well why if it isn't the great UH-vatar and looking as gorgeous as ever might I add." Tahno cooed sarcastically at the doorway.
"Can it Tahno, I'm not in the mood." Korra sat down at the table across from him and took a sip of her freshly brewed tea.
"What's the matter, rough night?" Tahno nonchalantly asked her as he took his tea cup in hand. All he got for an answer was a groan and with that Korra's head met with the table. "Tell me where it hurts." Tahno said smoothly as he played with her messier than usual ponytail. Pulling his hand back Korra's head shot upright with wild bloodshot eyes.
"It's these nightmares; I mean how am I supposed to concentrate on my training when I keep getting these nightmares? I've tried everything, from not eating before bed to breathing exercises and meditating. Nothing works Tahno," She voiced her desperation "I can't sleep and I'm so tired!" Tahno looked down at Korra's head that had slammed the table for a second time.
"Hmm… you say you've tried everything but you haven't…" Tahno coolly sipped his tea and brushed his hair out of his eye.
"And what do you propose?" Her muttering and slurred speech made him smile at the sad sight before him.
"Have you ever tried cuddling with someone? It helps with the nightmares and it's quite comfy." Korra's head whipped up from the table.
"W-what of course I haven't, and that's crazy talk how would you know of this technique anyways?"
"Fine by me UH-vatar, it's your training not mine. I don't really care if you believe me or not. Good luck with the nightmares."
"Alright Tahno, you win. I'll try this technique of yours. Now all that's left is to find a cuddle buddy," Korra half-heartedly smirk out of exhaustion. "Hmm I was thinking of Mako or maybe Bolin… Asami…?" her speech was slowing to a halt. Tahno got up quickly in time to catch Korra before she managed to give herself severe head damage.
"Tsk tsk breakfast can wait for now, first let's get you some rest," Carrying her carefully upstairs he laid her down gently on his bed and shrugged off his coat before getting in beside her. "Sweet dreams UH-vatar."
He leaned down and placed a kiss on the corner of her lips before pulling her into him. Making sure that there was barely any space between them he wrapped his arms around her protectively and let her head lean into his chest.
"It's a win-win situation UH-vatar, you'll get used to it." Tahno inwardly smirked at his own cunningness.
