Dusk was just about to fall, and Pema was almost ready for everyone to eat. Everyone else had already arrived to help set up everything for the meal – everyone except Korra.
So Mako walks along the paths of the Air Temple, searching for her.
"Where could she be…?" he says, trying to see through the island's thick lining of trees. He sighs, ready to go look around some other part of the island when he sees the hint of pale blue through the leaves.
He moves through the bush toward her and opens his mouth to say her name, then he stops for a moment, recognizing the place he's in. It's the same place she went to the night after Chief Saikon's promotion, and when Tarrlok had put it in her mind that she was some sort of failure. He stands there with his feet in the dirt and leave poking at his body; watching her back as she gazes over the bay.
"He was really something? Wasn't he?" she says, turning toward him. He walks to her and takes a seat by her side.
"Who?"
"Avatar Aang." She says, looking at the statue ahead of them. "He was really amazing."
She hugs her knees to her chest and wraps her arms around. For a second he thinks she might be sad, or hurt. But his worry disappears once he sees her give a light smile.
"I'm going to try to be that good too. The best Avatar the world's known!" she says, the smile widening. She turns to him and he can see the stars reflect in her eyes, a look of hope and he can't help but find a smile on his lips as well.
He places a hand on her shoulder.
"I know you'll do it." He says, and helps her up from the ground.
"Now, come on, Avatar Korra, supper's getting cold."
They laugh all the way to dinner.
:Fin:
Is terribly confused by that last line. Me and my silly wrap-up one-liners.
