Kataang - “Beyond”
“Do you want a love that lasts forever?”
Mako glanced at Korra. “That’s the kind of love that everyone wishes for, right?” She shrugged. ”Do you want a love like that?”
Korra didn’t respond. Her eyes locked with the horizon, like she saw beyond the yellow blinking city lights. It was a while before she spoke up.
“When I was training under Master Katara, I noticed she’d always look up at the sky and smile. She’d do it randomly, but it happened all the time.
“One time, I asked her why she was so happy at the sky. She raised her head, smiled, and said,
‘I always knew when Aang was around because of his presence. He smelled like the wind, and a small, subtle breeze would pass.
‘Whenever I think of him, I feel that breeze come over me.’”
Korra turned to Mako, and he froze at the tenderness in her gaze. Like she’s been waiting to tell this to someone for years, and it could only come out now.
“That’s the kind of love I want.”
