In Pursuit of Romance

[satomoped]

It's been nice to be back in the city, nice to have a hot meal, a hot bath, and some decent hair products, even though Asami doesn't plan to stick around. The spirit wilds were amazing, breathtaking, life-changing, and she loved every minute of it, loved having that adventure with Korra, but she still wants what she'd wanted in the first place: time alone with Korra. And, ideally, a bit of romance.

Clearly she's going to have to take these matters into her own hands.

She books them a few days at a remote little hot spring resort near a remote little village, a highly recommended experience that should be private and romantic. It takes a day to get there, with the train journey and then the hike up to the little village that has no road suitable for satomobiles. But at last she has what she wants. A nice dinner, wine to get them both relaxed, and then they head through to their private cabin with the private hot spring, cleverly positioned fences blocking most of the view to and from other cabins but still allowing a view out across the mountains.

The little cabin is luxurious by village standards and rustic by Asami's standards, which adds up to something comfortable enough and perfectly charming. Asami glances around the front room and then drops her bag in the bedroom--there's only one bed, which Asami expected, since she'd booked the room that way. "I can't wait to get into that hot spring," Asami groans, digging in her bag for some hair pins so that she can pin her wavy hair up on top of her head.
