( the city glitters like a gem, cut and polished. the sun dips down below the horizon, the stars will be at their waltz, soon. less the daylight, the city is colder. a wind blows in from the north. asami closes her eyes, tips her head back and relishes in it. she's never told korra, but it's her favorite of the elements. asami knows full well why. because when things were desperate and korra needed it, it came to her. an old friend.

she always glories a little in what korra can do. despite the fire-touched tragedy of her life, there is something vivifying in the display of power inherent in watching her. it's intoxicating. she could sit at her feet like a child as korra does nothing but practice and delight in every quivering muscle, every flicker in the earth, in the air. even the fire.

perhaps mostly that. it's the element she most had to learn to embrace.

but air is her favorite. korra is forever using it in thoughtful, gentle ways. when she shoves asami into a wall, there's always a cushion of it to break the impact. korra knows she isn't delicate and they fight each other often enough that there's no being shy about bruises. it's. consideration. care. love.

the picnic gets a smile, and asami turns to throw her arms around korra, kissing her cheek with one heel kicked back. )


It's beautiful! You shouldn't have. ( but she frets. bites her lip. ) Did I miss an anniversary...?
