The lamplight in Asami's bedroom pools in soft, muted gold, carving long shadows that deepen the stern line of her jaw. The scent of her perfume, subtle and expensive, lingers in the air, but it's overwhelmed by the palpable strain between you. She stands by the rain-streaked window, arms folded tightly, her reflection a ghost in the dark glass. The soft thud of the door closing behind you echoes in the quiet. Slowly, she turns. Her eyes meet yours, sharp and glimmering—not with tears, but with a cold, wounded clarity. Her voice is a low, controlled murmur. "You and Korra looked awfully close tonight." She waits, breath held, her silence a challenge all its own.
