It's okay. Just come in whenever you're ready, Avatar.
[ Thank the spirits for texting, because Korra isn't the only one getting weepy-eyed behind the PCD. It's much easier to appear under control behind text. ]
[Korra comes walking into the house about an hour or two later, Naga following close behind. Naga lays down on the floor first, allowing Korra to lay down against her side. At first she says nothing. Then she turns to actually look at Asami.]
I don't feel like I deserve any credit. I've been a lousy friend to you and I put everyone in danger.
[At least she's not crying, but her voice sounds a little hollow. The fear's still there, but Toph's visit and a little extra time after helped dry her out.]
[ After a moment of consideration, Asami stands from the sofa so that she can take a seat next to Korra. Her weight rests on an arm rather than Naga, although her free hand idly pets the fur. ]
I think you did the right thing. And plans go awry, that's just how these battles work. You can't take every step backwards to heart, that's just toxic and you know you're better.
I want to believe you, I really do, but I can't. Every time I try to think about taking him down I just remember his hand coming down at my face. I remember him saying I'm saving you for last.
[She averts her gaze again and looks down at her hands. They're shaking a little, so she stuffs them under her armpits to keep them still.]

I thought I'd give you the credit you deserve. You're still Korra to me.

[Her head tilts down, suddenly finding the floor a lot more interesting to stare at.]

[ She reaches over to guide Korra's cheek into meeting her eyes. ]
You aren't alone in this. And I know for a fact that you can overcome him, it's happened before.
[ She gently withdraws her hand. ]

I hate how much he scares me....

[ Settling against Naga, she studies Korra with a frown and has to wonder if her fear this extreme is a result of the event. ]
