Test Fire [Invite]

Korra seemed surprised when Parvati answered with a 'fine' when she asked her if she wanted another massage even now. It made her hesitate a little, but her smile softened. She wanted to, taking advantage of that would be perfect, but she meant it only in jest, it made her giggle a little at Parvati's side. "I'll give you one when we get out then alright? If we do it in here I'm worried you'd be uncomfortable." She admitted with a kind smile knowing when to pull back. Having Parvati undressed and in her lap would be lovely, but if Parvati herself didn't jump into that situation, Korra wouldn't try to pressure her into it.

Instead, she closed her eye against Parvati's shoulder for a moment, her breathing even, her voice growing quiet as she continued speaking. "A lot of people don't understand me or make assumptions about me. I don't like to hurt people though--" She spoke softly, referring to both physically and spiritually, she didn't like fighting for that very reason even if she ordered Kirin to fight in her stead. "--I just want to be happy-- To have fun." She murmured, a sweet and kind smile on her face. "Hanging with you's been especially fun too." She added softly before trying to doze off against Parvati, napping until the girl woke her up. If Parvati spent too long in the bath, Kirin would wander off to drag more wood to make sure Korra didn't catch a cold in the water.

 

Being woken up, Korra tried to roll over onto Parvati, half asleep still, she'd make it about half way before she realized where she was again suddenly snapping upright. If Parvati happened to push her away as well, the tethers might even snap tipping the tub and spilling them both out from the sudden movement. Korra was a little surprised being suddenly woken by a nudge even if it was gentle, after all, when she slept, it was outside, she would always be awoken by Kirin's nudges when danger was near, so like always, she tried to turn to see what was going on. Her face flushed red briefly from various feelings, but quickly calmed with a warm and appreciative smile. "Ah! Sorry about that hehe, I guess I forgot where I was." She offered an earnest apology while trying to wash her face in whatever water might be left if it spilled.

Korra would try to stand, slipping out of the tub if the tethers managed to survive, her bare back in Parvati's view as she stretched out happily greeting the day once more with a happy sigh of relief. Glancing back over her shoulder at Parvati, Korra ruffled her hair giving it a good shake to try and shake it dry as she spoke. "It was a good nap though... I'll return the favor though I promise! I owe you a massage right?" She said brightly wanting to pay the girl back for being so supportive, after all, that nap and her promise meant quite a lot to Korra. If she could make the other girl feel good, even without the urge to do so normally she was glad to have more reasons to want good for Parvati!

 

Parvati's sudden shock made her puzzled initially, but thinking about it, she did take Parvati's clothes for washing. Glancing around, she found them folded up beside her own wet from the water of the tub that had spilled. Hesitating, the once dry clothes made her giggle a little as she reached down towards them not caring how much she exposed herself to Parvati in the process as she looked through Parvati's clothing. "They're wet now from the water-- Hehe, but I think it was these you wanted right?" She asked trying to offer the girl her underwear, but glancing back, she considered whether or not Parvati might be asking for them all. "Or did you want them all and we can save the massage for another time?" She asked in thought wondering just how uncomfortable the girl might be.

While she was idly posing these queries though, Korra was oblivious to her own exposure, simply letting Parvati drink in what she wanted with her eyes, or turn away and feverishly try to avoid it with that same intensity. Korra was one after all who didn't really have shame, as long as they weren't male, she would idle about without a scrap of cloth without much of a care in the world. "I don't want you to be unhappy after all." She said with a sweet but embarrassed smile.

 

Korra slipped her own undies on since Parvati did, but seeing her not slide anything else on though, Korra stopped there as well with a happy smile nodding along. "Alright~ Sit up for me alright?" She said happily stretching herself once more before approaching Parvati to try and slip behind her happily. She gave the girl enough room to not feel uncomfortable, but leaned in close enough for her to feel her breath on her wet back as she reached out for her shoulders with a smile. "There we are, much better right?" She asked as she began to rub and flex Parvati's shoulder once more.

With more access to the girl's back, she'd affectionately begin a deeper massage then before that included palms, knuckles and elbows as well as she tried to loosen the girl completely. Though she'd do so largely in silence, occasionally she'd ask Parvati personal questions, nothing serious or deep, merely things about herself such as favorite colors or silly questions like 'Flying Magic or Digging Magic'. It was a rare moment, Korra could simply be a playful girl without ulterior motives or lewd pursuits since what she wanted was already in her hands, she just wanted to get to know this girl better, and help her know her as well. Whether or not Parvati noticed she was asking her 'date questions' though, Korra wouldn't know, but it certainly wouldn't stop her.

 

Poor Parvati was likely oblivious to how happy touching her was making the Bard behind her, though Korra wouldn't voice that opinion less Parvati think she had some ulterior motives. Getting to know her though was a cute and happy thing, answering the questions herself however wasn't too difficult since she'd gotten used to these questions over the years. Playful questions to get to know someone was popular among couples after all, though Parvati didn't seem to recognize that, Korra would keep that in her pocket.

After a while and a long series of questions though, Korra would cock her head to the side in thought as she continued rubbing Parvati's back kindly. "Do you know where you'll be staying tonight? We could set up camp like before if you wanted to stay with me again." She offered with a warm grin, uncertain if Parvati would stay with her out in the woods since she was used to something more luxurious, but Korra was beginning to think of getting a place since Parvati and perhaps other girls might enjoy a place to stay with her.

 

Korra only giggled back sweetly at her words in understanding for a moment but rubbed her chin in thought about Parvati not having a place of her own. With a warm grin, she glanced down to Parvati's bare back and tried to lean forward enough to rest her chin against Parvati's shoulder. It was perhaps too close, Parvati would probably be able to feel Korra's bare chest against her back as she tried to ask her a question from over her shoulder. "If I had a home, would you want to live there with me?" She asked with a warm smile, one might assume room mates, and Korra certainly wouldn't push the girl if that was what she had in mind, but there was no doubt she would hope for more.

Though she did have those innocent and playful designs, she would slide back and stand up happily as always, trying to help Parvati up as well with a gentle hand. "Everything's probably dry by now anyway at least, so it's probably about that time right?" She said reaching down to put her vest and top on as well since she'd be going to bed soon, the layers would help her stay warm at least. "Want me to walk you home?" She asked with a playful wink unsure if Parvati would actually accept, but that wouldn't stop Korra from offering.

 

Parvati's flustered demeanor made her grin happily, it was always so cute! She didn't try to put more pressure on the girl so as to make her too uncomfortable though, just seeing that Parvati had interest was enough to keep Korra hopeful and happy. "Maybe I should buy one then... I have almost three thousand Gold coins just doing nothing." She thought rubbing her forehead in consideration, after all, money was largely useless for someone like the Bard, what would she need it for? Armor when she wasn't going to be fighting in the fray? Weapons she already had? She couldn't think of anything that she really needed it for causing it to collect dust, though there was no one who probably suspected the homeless bard to be so wealthy she as the highest rated supporter in the city.

Hearing Parvati comment on the not minding the walk though, Korra happily nodded back extending a hand towards Parvati's to try and hold it gently with a warm grin. "Alright then! I'll walk you home." She said giving the girl's hand a soft squeeze once more as she did when they first met and walked around. She'd let Parvati lead the way, Korra wasn't exactly certain which inn she was staying at after all, but being led didn't bother her. In truth she was a little curious about the life Parvati lived out on her own.

 

Korra smiled happily, though Parvati was largely right about the reasons he had so much, it was simply because Korra didn't really use it, there was no reason for luxury she didn't need, her sack was comfortable and retained heat, Kirin was warm and soft, company was availible from time to time even. Food could be hunted and gathered and was usually more delicious then things that were reheated or had grown stale. There was nothing she really needed to spend her money on that she didn't already have in spades after all.

Squeezing Parvati's hand happily along the way, she was glad that the girl wasn't bothered by this cute affectionate gesture as they went. Walking along with Parvati being led even when they were almost there she simply happily continued along with Parvati hand in hand until she spotted the sign. With her announcing their arrival though, Korra couldn't help a soft grin, her clothing still a little moist as she looked up at the sign with a small nod. "So this is where you're staying huh? Now I know where to pick you up, how nice." She said with a warm tone clearly considering picking Parvati up for other playful dates and meetings or adventures even.

Though she nodded, she reached out for Parvati's other hand to hold both with a happy smile, giving them a gentle shake as she spoke. "You have a good night then okay? Sleep tight, I'll come to get you for our adventure another time." She explained before trying to lean in suddenly to give Parvati a kiss, it was simply a peck on the cheek, not something deep or passion filled, but it was warm and there were some clear intentions behind it perhaps. No ulterior motives, the motive was quite clear and obvious after all, rather then dwell or explain though, Korra flashed one last very bright and happy grin since the explanation was no doubt a little obvious before she turned to head back to where she left Kirin.
