pushing it

WHO: Korra & Hei
WHAT: Korra’s getting restless.

[Korra sits on the ground of Hei's toolshed and tells herself that she should seriously work on that patience thing.

She's alone in the house. Her health has been improving enough that she doesn't need a constant babysitter, so when Asami called to say that she had a last minute meeting at Future Industries, Korra told her it was fine and not to worry about it. She can stand up to reach food in the cabinet. She can walk the distance from the bathroom door to the toilet. She can even (as she knows from testing earlier today) walk around the entire house.

The distance from the house to Hei's toolshed? Not so much. It had seemed like such a great idea, practicing walking while getting the tools to fix the wheelchair ramp. She's been itching for something to do, something physical, something that matters even just a little. But by the time she reached the toolshed, her strength was exhausted, and she had to use the last of it for a controlled fall.

So she sits and meditates on the virtues of patience. After some rest, she tries to earthbend herself back onto her feet. When that results in nothing more than a bruised bum and sore ribs, she tries meditating on the virtues of patience some more.

And really hopes Hei gets home soon. She really doesn't want to have Naga carry her back to the front porch like a cub.]

[ There's no question. He knows that. But it's the possible risks and logistics he's concerned with. The Red Lotus will be monitoring Korra's movements. The attack on her father would be the best way to flush her into the open so they can kill her. In which case, by insisting on traveling to the South, Korra might be giving them exactly what they want. ]

[ But Hei knows he can't force her to lie low. They will have to take the chance. Because if he and Korra keep their movements discreet, if they keep the Red Lotus guessing, they can get them to depart from their game plan. Otherwise they will always be one step behind on this thing, all the way to its bitter end. ]

[ And he refuses to play by those lopsided rules. ]
