uptown it's dead now, but out here no one seems to care at all
In all of the time that Korra has spent thinking about the future, living in a city has never been part of the picture. Even after spending time in Republic City and enjoying all of its sights, Korra has never been swayed away from her love of the open air and wide countryside, of the wind rushing through her hair and the vastness of the water before her. No matter how much energy can be found in the constant bustling and chattering of people, Korra's always longed for space to breathe and run, never needing to stay her hand. Never getting swept away by the crowd.
It's a wonder she's managed to stay in her apartment as long as she has.
Returning from a long evening running and hunting through the forests with Naga, Korra shoves her hands into her pockets as she enters the apartment building. Most households have already settled indoors for the night. It's her turn to head to Naruto's apartment, which spares her the need to give him a heads-up in advance. Chances are that he's home, and if he's not, then it's just a job gone long.
The soft light that filters out into the hallway as Korra pushes open the apartment door signals his presence, and Korra smiles to herself as she slips out of her boots and carefully wanders inside. Her shoulders ache from the long afternoon of activity, but it's a pleasant sort of soreness, Korra relishing each step as she heads towards the couch and flops down on the corner.
It's not just the future that she's thinking about. Actually, maybe thinking of it as the future isn't fair at all — what Korra wants is to change the present. The only question is how Naruto might react. It's not a choice that she wants to make on her own.
"Naruto?" she calls out from where she's nestled in the cushions, pursing her lips. "You're home, right?"
