Y-yeah. [She manages to sit up, but the effort hurts.] I did something to my back. [If she had her waterbending, this wouldn't be a problem at all. She knows all about healing muscles strains with waterbending. But that's not an option anymore.

She's trying not to resent it. Be resilient, as Chekov had told her. But the dull throbbing seems to taunt her.]

[She gives him a slightly confused, dry look at that remark.] It only just happened. [She quickly turns her attention to the strip of pills in her hand. Questions and insecurities bubble up in the back of her mind, but she staunchly ignores them. Too much pain, not enough energy to deal with them right now.]

How many am I supposed to take?
anatural: Korra is full of dread (i am annoyed)

Thanks. [She pops two of the little pills out and swallows them dry. She then puts her hand to her lower back, just about her tailbone.] Right here.

[She may not be able to sense his disappointment, but she can imagine it. She feels it too. Intellectually, she knows that you can't push your body as hard as she's been pushing it without consequence, but the timing makes it feel like a deliberate betrayal. It's hard not to resent.]

[She didn't so much "turn her back" as let him go around it. And, let's face it, she's left herself in much more vulnerable positions with him than this. She hisses at the cold touch against her skin.]

I didn't train today. [She elbows him lightly. The stalking probably should bother her, but mostly it just makes her roll her eyes.]
anatural: Korra is sarcastic (this is also sarcasm)

What's that supposed to mean?

[Beating holes into walls have always worked for her before. ...in that it's the only thing she's ever tried.]

[Whatever drugs he gave her are good. Between them and the ice pack, she can already feel the pain fading. She still doesn't want to move too much, but less pain is always a good thing.]

If you're going to suggest meditation, I've been trying that.
anatural: Korra looks confused (i am confused)

[personal profile] anatural 2013-11-04 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She carefully, hesitantly leans back into his hands. A distant part of her is kind of amazed how they can go from having sex to talking about spiritual growth.]

There's no one left here from my world. [Who else would know what to do?]
anatural: Korra realizes people are watching (sad 23)

[personal profile] anatural 2013-11-04 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Thinking about teachers just makes her miss Tenzin and JInora with a sudden, fierce ache. She takes a deep breath and ignores it; she's gotten very good at that.]

How? Put out an ad on the network? [Blerch. The idea of posting herself publicly again, trying to explain what she's looking for to complete strangers, makes her feel queasy.]
anatural: Korra looks confused (confused wth)

[personal profile] anatural 2013-11-04 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[She leans just a little more into him, and tries to turn her neck to look at him without twisting her back.]

Who would lie about being a spiritual teacher?
anatural: Korra is sarcastic (this is also sarcasm)

[personal profile] anatural 2013-11-04 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Am I supposed to understand what that means?
anatural: Korra is sarcastic (i am smug and this is sarcasm)

[personal profile] anatural 2013-11-04 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[She wraps her arms around his, one hand gripping his elbow, the other lacing their fingers together.]

You're one to talk.

[She may be hiding in her Beach House, but he hides every day behind that idiot "Li" mask.]
anatural: Korra snuggles with Bolin and Pabu (Shippy: Happiness is right here)

[Pretty sure I'm going to die that way anyway. Almost everyone she's known -- both from her world and from here -- has left. She's been almost crippled. She's even died once. (It's hard to get motivated to make new friends. Easier to stick with Chekov, who if he leaves, she can tell herself "He's better off without me," or Hei, "I'm better off without him." She doesn't think these things consciously, of course. It'd be too depressing and embarrassing to admit that, even to yourself.)]

You can take the ice pack off now. [Her skin is reaching the point of so cold it burns. She turns her head and, if his mouth happens to be close enough, she'll steal a kiss. Not necessarily to change the subject or move things forward, but just because it feels nice.]
