When her hands closed around nothing but air, Korra leaped forward and dove into the water. Being completely blind, all Korra had to rely on was just her hearing. Even underwater, the sounds of thrashing about gave her Toph’s general direction and Korra swam straight towards her. Reaching out, Korra grabbed Toph and pulled her towards her, ensuring her hand was around her waist before she rose up through the depths.

Gasping for air once they broke the surface, Korra swam along her back to keep Toph’s head above water. It wasn’t until her hand slapped at the mud that she could see again, and Korra dragged Toph along the bank. Now that she could see, Korra began to bend, moving her hands to summon the water out from Toph’s lungs. It may have felt uncomfortable, but it needed to be done.

“Are you okay?”
