(ASALI, KORRA) 3 in a row.

[SORA :D]

I was worried about Winks. What was so wrong? Normally, he was bouncy, and full of energy. But ever sence the cubs... I hoped that he would be OK. Sorry about Winks... I told her, as we walked. I don't know what's with him lately. I stared at the ground, running thought through my head.

[Deleted]

Korra apologized for Winks' behavior. "Don't worry about it. I understand. He's just worried about Tamara and Royal." I paused and stared ahead for a second and looked back at her. "I'm not going to push it. I don't want to make things harder for you two." I gave her an encouraging smile. I admired them in a way. They'd been able to do what I couldn't. They'd gone through a lot and found each other and now they had a family. But behind every great love story is real issues that everyone has to deal with. There were bound to be arguments; I just didn't want to be the cause.

[SORA :D]

I have a shallow laugh. Asali explaind how she though he was just worried about the cubs, and I nodded. I guess so. I said, traces if sadness in my voice.

[Deleted]

I looked at Korra. "You're worried about Winks," I guessed. I was pretty sure that was what was on her mind. I nudged her shoulder, "Hey, it'll be alright. Everything is going to work out. I can feel it." Okay, so maybe that was a small lie. But it was possible. And if I told Korra, and myself, that enough, maybe it would all work out. And if it didn't, then Korra and I would have a little more in common. I didn't want that for my friend, and I hoped that things would be okay between them. Their cubs needed them together.

[SORA :D]

I listen as Asali encouraged me. She assured me that everything was going to ge ok. And you know what? I beloved her. I refused to look at the negative, or question 'What if' We continued walking, and I began thinking about how to make Asali know that she would eventually be able to cub sit. You're still welcome to cub sit. I stated, looking at the ground. Maybe winks isn't OK with it now, but when he's begging for time away from the cub... I laughed, my eyes glowing with a little more happiness.

[Deleted]

Korra seemed to cheer up at what I said. She believed it would get better. I admired her positive attitude. She insisted that I would eventually cub sit for her. "I know...just wait, they'll be driving him crazy in no time," I laughed. "We should probably go check on him now, actually," I grinned. I could see him, the cubs waking up and wanting to run around and play, and poor Winks just trying to keep them both in one piece. Also, I wanted to patch things up if possible, and prove to Winks that I wasn't trying to steal his cubs away and I wouldn't be a danger to them or his family. 

[SORA :D]

I really enjoyed Asali's company, her wit, and her sense of humor were all the things I missed from the old winks. She suggested that we go and check in on him. I nodded, and went in the direction of him. The cubs were running in every which way, and it was actually quite cute to see winks chasing after them.

[Deleted]

Korra agreed to head back. We walked quietly, and I enjoyed the peacefulness of it. We were able to just be quiet and still enjoy each others company. I knew we were becoming good friends then. I was actually starting to trust Korra a little bit. That was a scary thought, and it made me a little uneasy as we walked back, but I instantly forgot about it when we saw the cubs running around. They had woken up. Just as I'd suspected. I laughed, watching them fly across the ground, wildly. It was funny how cubs just enjoyed the speed, even if they didn't know where they were going. Hm, I guess I never out-grew that, I thought to myself with a smile.

[SORA :D]

the two of us came apon Royal and Tamara running after each other. they haddent seen me yet, so i crouched down, and waited till one of them came flying in fron of me. I jumoed up, and spooked the little one, Tamara, to where she wissed, and the fur on the back of her neck stood on end. I laughed, and soothed her. what a silly prnak.

( i apoligize for the typoes. Dyslexic. )

I stood up, Royal and Tamara skipping back to me.
"Korra" I smiled warmly and nodded at Asali, tail waving.
The cubs sat down quietly.
"I can control the fine" I said as I had over heard their conversation.
I looked pointedly at Asali.

[Deleted]

"Winks," I sighed. I was getting a little frustrated now, and a little less worried about what he thought of me. Honestly, I was starting to think he was being immature. Sure, he had a right to be protective of his cubs. But now he was just being moody. His furrowed brow, and his comments... "We were joking," I said, not sounding too angry, just matter of fact. I didn't know how much more of this I could take, though. I was starting to wonder if this was going to turn into a full blown argument. For the sake of the cubs, I hoped not. I didn't want them to hear us arguing. Especially if Korra got involved. This wasn't the Winks I had known, though. I wondered what happened to his fun loving attitude. Where was the Winks that was splashing me in the creek and swimming and laughing? Was it simply that the cubs had made him grow up a little, or was he just really that angry at me? 

[SORA :D]

I believed Asali and I were on the same page when it came to winks attitude. He had changed, and I wasn't really sure if this 'new winks' was one I would like. He was smiling at me, and I returned the warm smile, but mine was a tad colder. I was surly not impressed with the way he was speaking to, and about, Asali. I didn't want to jump into there conversation, unless winks was getting out if hand. I wasn't really in the mood for an argument.

[EmilyColeman]

I stared at Asali blankly.
The cubs started to doze and i came to stand in front of them.
"What is it you want Asali?" I asked softly.

[Deleted]

He asked what I wanted from him. The cubs were sleeping again so we both kept our voices down. "I just want us to be okay, to get along." I shrugged. "We used to..." Of course, maybe Winks was just proving me right about males, how you couldn't trust them. Maybe he'd been pretending to be nice to me last time we met, and now this was just his true nature coming out. Maybe it had been a lie that he liked me, like my company. Did he really just hate me? Did he want to get rid of me?

I looked at Korra and the cubs and back at Winks. "I know you don't want me around Tamara and Royal. Obviously, you have to be able to trust me first. But is it more than that?" I asked.

[EmilyColeman]

"What are you talking about? More than what? My cubs are young, Asali and like i told you, i don't easily trust people. Of course i like you" I said, sitting down, eyebrows raised quizzically.
