Three weeks after Korra and Mako went to the Fire Nation. They have been back for one week.
Eska wasn't usually the last one up, but this morning she had slept in on accident. She blamed it on the warmer temperatures of Republic City. She got dressed and put her hair holders in place then reached for the door handle leading to the main room in the apartment, but it opened before she could touch it.
"Hey, I was just about to wake you up. But here you are." Bolin said as he kissed her on the cheek. "Good news! After I film today, we are going on a double date with Korra and Mako. We are going to get dinner with them then going to watch The Adventures of Nuctuk because, you know, the new episode tonight."
"That sounds fun, but what about Desna? I don't want him to feel more left out than he already does."
"Oh yeah! Korra told me about that conversation you had with her because she said she found a date for him. She's the water-bender on my probending team. Her name is Ling."
Inwardly, Eska was smiling, but then she thought about how Desna be with a girl. Both of them had been sheltered their whole life. They never had relationships. That's why Eska treated Bolin so bad when she first started dating him. Hopefully, he would be okay. "That sounds wonderful. I need to thank Korra." She was feeling brave and kissed him before Bolin went to the gym.
I don't think I'll ever fully understand that girl. Bolin thought. She always did something different from what he expected her to do. It was what he loved the most about her; her shyness and beauty were a close second.
To ensure he would win the probending championship next year, he'd been training everyday. Today was no exception. He earth-bent for an hour and a half, took a quick shower, then headed to Varrick industries to film for the day.
In the meantime, Eska spent the day with Korra because Mako had to work because he took so much time off. And he really wanted that promotion.
"So Bolin tells me you have found a date for Desna. I know I asked for help, but I don't know if just any girl would work for Desna, not because he's too good for anyone because he's not. But he's I don't know, shy, I guess. I just want to make sure she could actually work with him." Eska expressed her concern.
"You worry too much." Korra waved her hand. "I'd like to think I know my cousin well enough."
"Well, you don't know him th-" Eska tried to tell her, but Korra cut her off.
"Besides, from what I've seen, she is exactly like him. She barely ever talks, she's a water-bender, and...uh.. she has the same haircut..." said Korra trying to make sure she had that last fact right.
"Well, you haven't failed me so yet. I hope you're right." said Eska looking down.
Instead of watching Bolin film today, Eska got ready for the date with Korra. Mostly deciding what to wear.
"Just wear something random out of your closet." Korra suggested. She was never one for appearances.
"No, I have to look good. And I barely have any clothes. Remember, I joined you on the boat." Eska pointed out.
"Right... Well, I have some dresses Pema gave to me that you can wear since you care so much."
"I'm not your size."
"It's better than what you have." Korra looked her up and down. Eska was still wearing her usual robes that were partially torn because she wore those the most. She went shopping a few times when Korra was in the Fire Nation and Bolin was at the gym, so she had a couple things. But nothing she liked enough at the moment.
"I'll be back with something, but I have to go to AirTempleIsland to get it. So I'll be back in thirty minutes." Korra stated before leaving to swim across YueBay.
Korra ended up being back in twenty minutes. I knew she a skilled bender, but I didn't think she was that fast. She bent the water out of a simple light blue dress. It was long and one-shouldered. Eska loved it so much. It was nice and plain. Exactly her style.
"It was actually a little small for me, and this color is too close to my eye color." Korra informed her about the dress.
Eska emerged from her room wearing the dress. It fit her perfectly. Maybe Korra and I don't wear that different sizes.
When Korra went to AirTempleIsland, she also brought her dress she wore to Councilman Tarrlok's gala the previous year.
When it was time, the girls left to go to the restaurant to meet their dates.
