Tenzin's arms were wrapped around Korra's waist as he taught her how to guide Oogi late one night. Usually, the young woman would be relaxed, joking and stealing kisses when her teacher least expected it, but tonight she was stiff in his arms.
"Korra, what's wrong? Have you been having the nightmares again?"
The young Avatar shook her head, mulling over her words for a moment before her voice came out, weak and upset. "Does Pema know about this?"
"Oh, Korra..." Tenzin's grip tightened around her. "Pema and I... When we first got married, that is, we decided to embrace some of the older Air Nomad ideals of love. You remember those lessons, correct? We've both talked about it, we understand that love is always changing, and we agreed that we shouldn't have to limit ourselves to each other."
"So..."
"So Pema and I will always love each other and come back to each other, but we can love others, too, Korra. She knows about us, and she has no issue with it." Tenzin's lips pressed against her cheek. "You can talk to her about it if you'd like that."
Korra nodded and relaxed the slightest bit, though she was still rather on edge. "I can deal with that, I guess."
