It was the squeeze that got the words past just her ears and Korra looked at him, her eyes found him after two seconds of searching. The smell of smoke and burnt flesh was faint, but it felt really strong for her.

"I'll help you, Mako." Why didn't he know that she always would? None of it made sense and began to turn over, but the movement caused a sharp bite of pain in the back of her leg.

But he wanted help, and she was going to give it.

Korra finally managed it and she waited, knowing what he was going to do. This time she didn't know when it was going to happen, and she just shut her eyes while breathing heavily.
