They got back to Asami’s place in little to no time at all. After shivering their way out of their jackets, coats, and other layers, they decided to warm up by the fireplace and drink some hot chocolate. Then Asami got the great idea to play Jenga, which they’d been doing for about twenty minutes now. The television sounded in the background with a Christmas movie that neither of them paid attention to.
“You’re really good at this,” Korra complimented.
Asami only smiled as she concentrated on successfully removing the middle block near the center of the stack and placing it on top to start a new row.
“Comes with years of practice,” she said. “Your turn.”
Korra leaned forward, squinting her eyes as she tried to find the most stable place to move a block. Eventually, she went for one at the very bottom. The entirety of the stack swayed back and forth in slow motion before tumbling over and crashing to the wooden floor.
“Ugh!” Korra groaned. “This game is annoying.”
Asami laughed and started stacking them again. “It’s because you go too fast. You need to be patient. It also wouldn’t hurt if you poked at the ones less firm in place.”
“But it’s less fun that way,” Korra whined.
“Or maybe it’s because it gives you more of a challenge, so on instinct you go for the toughest blocks in the stack.”
Korra paused in helping pick up the blocks and looked Asami dead in her eyes.
“Are you analyzing me through Jenga?”
