❊ 12/11, late at night

[anatural]

[For the past few nights, Korra's been woken up by nightmares. This isn't unusual; she still has nightmares about Amon at least a few times a month.

But these aren't her nightmares. They're Aang's. Memories from his childhood, when Prince Zuko was trying to capture him. She'd always known that the old Fire Lord and the Avatar had been enemies, but Master Katara had never gone into detail about it. Seeing Aang's memories of it was horrifying.

She's curled up in the kitchen, nursing a cup of hot chocolate and resting her head on her knees.]

What are you trying to tell me, Aang? Or do you just not want me to sleep?

[It's still dark when Jinora wakes up. She isn't sure what woke her; she can't remember any dreams and everything in the room is quiet. Something isn't quite right, though...

The girl heads for the kitchen to get a drink on silent feet, stopping in her tracks when she hears Korra. Jinora peers into the kitchen.]

Korra? What're you doing?

❊ 12/11, late at night

[anatural]

Oh, hey Jinora. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.

[She tries to put on a reassuring smile; she doesn't want to worry the younger girl.]

❊ 12/11, late at night

[bookbending]

You didn't.

[Korra is so bad at hiding things. Jinora sits with her, worried in spite of any efforts to dissuade worry.]

You didn't answer my question, either.

[She shrugs.]

Just had a bad dream. Figured I'd get some cocoa to chase it off. Want any?

❊ 12/11, late at night

[bookbending]

No thank you.

[She makes herself comfortable and looks more than ready to listen.]

Do you want to talk about the dream?

❊ 12/11, late at night

[anatural]

[She takes a long sip of her drink as she tries to figure out where to even begin.]

It was a memory from Aang's childhood. When Firelord Zuko was trying to capture him.

[She doesn't feel right, going into more details than that. Some of the dreams were pretty graphic.]

[She draws her legs up, a bit cold in the dark kitchen.]

Is he trying to tell you something?

❊ 12/11, late at night

[anatural]

I think so. But I don't know what!

❊ 12/11, late at night

[bookbending]

Weeeell... you could always meditate on it.

[anatural]

[this face]

❊ 12/11, late at night

[bookbending]

C'mon, Korra. You need to cultivate your spiritual awareness.

[Puppy eyes!]

❊ 12/11, late at night

[anatural]

I know! But I don't think meditating will help.

❊ 12/11, late at night

[bookbending]

But I can help.

[If it were Tenzin, Korra would probably whine a little more, but she doesn't want to hurt Jinora.]

Okay. So what's your advice?

❊ 12/11, late at night

[bookbending]

[She looks so pleased.]

Let me come up with a lesson plan! I'll get back to you.

❊ 12/11, late at night

[anatural]

I can't wait. [She smiles]

You should probably go back to sleep now. Sifu Jinora.

❊ 12/11, late at night

[bookbending]

[Korra gets a hug, because getting to help the Avatar? So much the coolest thing ever. Dad would be proud.]

Okay! [oh, but] Are you going back to sleep soon?

❊ 12/11, late at night

[anatural]

[Korra gives her an extra squeeze.]

Yeah. I'm just gonna finish my drink soon.
