Dawn break early on the island. Asami yawns and stretches, looking through the open window as the sun starts to creep over the tree line. She gets out of bed and grabs the red cloak Pema had given her for the chilled mornings on the island. She's happy to have it, and walks through the dormitory.
The chilled, wet taste of dew hits her as she walks outside and Asami holds the cloak tighter, wrapping it around her shoulders. She walks toward the main compound and hears the rustling of the trees, the whooshing sound the waves make as they crash against the rocks. She hears the sound of hushed voices nearby, and she knows she's not the only one who is awake.
She turns the corner and finds Mako and Bolin sitting on the wooden walkways of the island, talking, gazing out to the horizon. She smiles.
"Good morning boys." She says, walking toward them. Mako and Bolin wave to her and she takes a seat next to them, leaning back on the cool surface.
"Someone's up early." Bolin says, leaning past Mako to look at Asami.
"You are too." She says with a small smile and Mako wraps an arm around her shoulder. She leans into him, enjoying the warmth his body gives her.
"Why are you two awake? Couldn't sleep?" she asks softly, her voice still lingering with the tiredness of sleep.
"No, no." Mako says, resting his head on hers. "It's not like that."
"Korra woke us up." Bolin chimes in. Asami lifts herself up and looks at the brothers, confused.
"Korra woke you up?" she repeats.
"Yeah." Bolin continues and placing a hand to his chin, he says: "Well- not exactly…"
"She didn't mean to wake us up, is what he's trying to say." Mako says. Asami looks to the various rooms and doorways behind them.
"So where is she?" she asks.
Mako points to the horizon.
"There." He says, and Asami sees.
In the distance, far away on the islands outer edge stood a tall wooden structure. Boards of some sort, all of them spinning quickly in a blur. Asami squints, and sees a figure moving through the gates.
"Korra?" she questions, trying to see clearly. "She's training this early?"
"Yeah," Bolin leans back on the wood. "The boy's dormitory is nearby, we heard her on her way to the gates."
"The fact that she brought Ikki to spin them doesn't help either." Mako adds, "That girl can talk a mile a minute."
Asami chuckles.
"Well, why don't we go and see them?" she asks, "Or were you planning on hiding-out here the whole morning, stalking them?"
The boys give meek smiles and turn quickly stand up, heading toward them. Asami follows them at a distance and can't help but smile.
She can still see the flush of red on their faces.
Boys.
:Fin:
This is my first time writing Asami. I think it turned out well, as well as her dialogue with the brothers. I also think I'm getting better at doing more than two people dialogue. Hmm…
