it's my duty to help people

"She's going to be here at any point now, Naga, calm down," Korra laughs, ruffling Naga behind both ears as they rest out on the edge of the city, close to the wider terrain that's available in the suburbs. Ever since Korra mentioned meeting up with Abby, Naga has been practically thrumming with energy, and that's on top of the excitement that Naga already gets whenever she has the opportunity to spend a full day with Korra.

Sooner or later, Korra thinks, she really needs to move somewhere with doors wide enough to allow Naga inside. Being away from Naga in a small apartment is just too lonely for the polar bear dog.

"I'm going to teach her how to defend herself, okay, so you're going to help us out," she instructs, trying for a vaguely stern looking expression. "You're twice as big as most guys, but I want to teach her how to protect herself against people bigger and stronger than she is. So when I'm demonstrating to her, it'll be on you."

Naga tilts her head, tail wagging once.

"Stop judging me," Korra says with a sigh. "I would have asked Naruto to help, okay, but he needs to focus on his job and not just break shadow clones off whenever he wants to do multiple things at once. His attention span is terrible—"

Naga interrupts with a bark, then starts bounding towards someone in the distance. Glancing up, Korra grins and waves eagerly.

"Abby, hey!"
