Catching Up [closed]

[SORA :D]

I nodded. "Royal and...him...Royal is like his son" Asali said that she didn't expect Tamara to take it well. She was like Winks, everything must be perfect.

(Sorry for the short post, I have to leave, and I'll be back in like 2 hours.)

I nodded slowly as Korra responded about Royal. He was like his son... That would make Winks furious. I remembered how hard it was for him to let me be around his cubs at first, because he was so worried about me wanting to take them as my own. He hadn't trusted me around them; there was no way he would be okay with Royal finding a new dad. I shuddered, thinking about how Winks would react if this mystery male claimed that Royal was his face to face with him. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near them. "Well, it's good that Royal is adjusting," I said slowly. There was a more pressing question of me now. Where would I go? I was part of Winks' coalition, but I had only joined because of Korra and the cubs. But could I up and leave Winks too? And Tamara? If I stayed, would I be betraying Korra? "Do you live with this male now?" I asked her. "What's his name?" I added.

[SORA :D]

Asali was glad Royal was doing ok, but I was worried about how Tamara was handling this. We weren't exactly close, but she still was my cub. And her horrified cry still lingered in my thoughts. Asali looked worried. I tryed to let her know that I would figure things out. She asked if I lived him, and what his name was. "Im kinda on my own right now..." I sighed, hoping that everything would b Ok. "His name is King."

I sighed, feeling sad for my friend's situation and for her cubs; at least Tamara. The female was still young and she needed her mother whether she wanted to or not. And Winks...what could be going through his head? Was he sorry for the way be treated Korra? Did he blame himself or her? Was he oblivious to the trouble they had been facing? I myself had noticed the change in the patriarch of the coalition. Had he? I was certain that their family would never heal to it's former self. Korra was starting a new one.

His name was King, this new mate of Korra's. I had never met him, so I only nodded. But she was alone. "He hasn't asked you to live with him?" I asked, suddenly worried for the safety of my friend and her new unborn cubs. I wondered if Royal would leave his father to live with King and Korra. I decided I would talk to Tamara before leaving Winks' coalition.

[SORA :D]

Asali look worried about the sitchuation. She was like Royal's and Tamara's second mom. At times, she was a better mother than I was. I laughed at the thought of the many times that I had totally screwed up on mom-patrol, and how Asali came to the rescue and fixed everything. What will happen to us? Will she stay with me?

"Well, he did." I stuttered. "We decided to wait until things got figured out."

[Deleted]

I nodded as Korra told me that this King had asked her to live with him. But she hadn't figured things out. I sighed. "I wish you didn't have to be in this mess." I decided to lay down , as I felt this was going to be a somewhat lengthy conversation, and stretched my legs out. "Can I do anything to help?" I asked, though not expecting anything. What could I do? Watch the cubs? Although, maybe that would be a good solution seeing as one cub was mad at Korra and the other was mad at Winks. Though I was sure they weren't too happy with each other either. Oh Tamara...oh, Royal. They needed each other more than ever, yet I was sure they would be at odds. They'd never been very close.

[SORA :D]

Asali wanted to help. That's just how she was. I sighed, and lay down as well. My legs were tired and I couldn't find the streangh to stand or sit anymore. My little family was always going to fall apart, but I was too blind to see this before now. Asali asked what she could do. But I didn't know. "I don't know, maybe -- Maybe you can just stay with me so I'm not alone?"

[Deleted]

My friend lay down as well and I could see the exhaustion on her face. This was taking a toll on her. I was starting to think maybe Korra was the one who needed looking after. So when she asked if I would stay with her, I nodded immediately. "Of course. You won't have to be alone." I gave her a reassuring smile. Though I had a feeling this would make things fairly tense the next time I spoke to Winks.

I started thinking about Tamara again. "Would you mind if I told Winks about my decision to leave with you? I don't think I can just disappear.. And I would quite like to talk to Tamara as well..." I furrowed my brows as I tried to imagine those conversations. I could find the words for Tamara, but I had a hard time imagining a calm conversation with Winks about this.

[SORA :D]

Asali agreed, and a wave of relief fell over me. I was so happy that i wouldn't be doing this alone. We both lay in the shade, under a nice tree. The day was hot, but not as hot as it had been. Asali asked if she could tell winks about her decision. I nodded, and said that would be fine. I tryed to think about how that conversation would go.

[Deleted]

I smiled when Korra said it would be fine to talk to Winks. She was so understanding. It was good to have a friend like that. I knew Korra would want things to go smoothly. I sighed, thinking of that conversation. "That will be fun," I said sarcastically. "Interesting, anyway."

A fear came over me then as I wondered about Tamara's reaction. Would she hate me for leaving? Or would she just be angry that I took Korra's side without talking to them? Maybe I would talk to her first. Or maybe together...

[SORA :D]

I laughed at Asali's humor. "I would come with you, but I'm banned from Winks' territory." I laughed, though there was nothing funny about the situation. I guess I was just trying to be happy. But something lingered in my mind, something that was really making me worry. What would happen if Winks got possessive, and didn't let Asali leave with me?

[Deleted]

I laughed, somewhat uncomfortably in response to Korra. It faded until I smiled sympathetically at my friend. "That's okay. Probably best if it's just me, anyway..." There were a few reasons for that. One, if Korra and I showed up together, it may seem as if we were ganging up on him. Two, seeing her would probably only make him mad. I didn't want him angry with me, too. Three, Korra was pregnant with another males cubs. Winks could easily end that. Yeah...best if she didn't go.

I was getting restless now, worrying about the imminent conversation with Korra's former mate. I felt I would go insane if I didn't get it over with soon. I had originally thought I might stay with Korra a few days and let things calm down, but if I waited for the perfect time, it would never come. And I needed to know as soon as possible how things were going to go. "I should go get this over with.." I muttered, feeling my stomach do flips as I worried about the male's reaction. What if he attacked me? I didn't even want to see him angry. I met Korra's eyes. "You understand, right?" I gave her a half smile. I would do whatever it took to protect my friend. I just hoped I wouldn't get hurt in the process. Me or her cubs; born and unborn.

[SORA :D]

Strangly enough, I really wanted her to do this alone, simply because she would have a better chance of being killed if I were around, then if I wasn't. Winks and I were not together anymore, but Asali was still part of our little group. Winks might not take her leaving so well.

Asali seemed uncomfortable, and atsy about something, which I took as a hint that this would be the end of our conversation. I wished I could go on, but things needed to settle before that would happen. Hopefully Asali would sort things out, she always did. Asali said something that fell between the lines of a good-bye, and I laughed, and told her to get moving in a teasing and friendly way.

[Deleted]

Korra caught on to what I was leading on to. It was time to get this over with, to talk to Winks and settle this. At first, I had felt bad, thinking of leaving his group. But when Korra asked me to come, I could hardly say no. I wouldn't leave my best and, well, only friend stranded, pregnant and alone. Sure she had King, but she needed someone outside of the situation. Someone she could talk to. Still, I was dreading this. All the more reason to go; if I put it off, I'd never talk to Winks.

Korra laughed and told me to get moving. I smiled and nodded. I looked behind me, ready to get going, but turned back to Korra once more and hugged her goodbye. "I'll see you soon," I promised her. Then I got up and headed towards Winks' land.
