It was seldom that Korra saw actual rain. In the Southern Water Tribe, the only rain she'd ever seen was during her water-bending practice, when Katara would melt the snow falling around them, telling her about the various forms of water. Korra remembers the feeling of the ice cold liquid on her face, how it felt so cold and hard, unlike the gentle snow she was used to.
Now that she was in Republic City, it snowed far less, and rain much more.
She was off on the town, riding on top of Naga as they explored deeper into the city. She had spent so much time looking at all the buildings, shops and people, that she hadn't noticed the dark rain clouds forming overhead. And now what started out as soft, streaking drop had quickly turned into a full on downpour.
When the lightning struck, Korra decided it was time for them to find someplace to hide out from the weather. She pulled on Naga's reins, leading her under one of Republic City's massive bridges.
"Looks like we're stopping here for now," Korra said, getting off of Naga. She removed her saddle, set it on the ground and the polarbear-dog quickly took the opportunity to shake off the water. Korra did the same, waterbending her clothes until they were dry. Taking a seat beside Naga, she leaned against her companion's soft stomach, and watched as the rain fell from the sky.
Eventually, she finds herself being lulled asleep by the splatter of water against the concrete, and she and Naga stay under the bridge well after the rain stops.
