Korra laughed, exchanging a knowing look with R'lissea. "Well, what are you standing around here for?"
"I-I wasn't... I mean, we were still talking, and..."
"Xiviyah, we've been talking for hours," R'lissea said, smiling warmly. She let go of my hand. "We'll see you later."
I hesitated, glancing between them.
