Lights Shine [invite]

Korra was still injured from her encounter with Hydra, the large snake creature wasn't one to be trifled with. Someday she'll be powerful enough to reach it and add it to her repertoire along with Kirin, but that time surely wasn't now. Had it not been for one of her cute friends, she wouldn't have even survived, but managing her daily life grew difficult with her injuries. You couldn't see them on the surface but they were all blunt injuries, her chest and stomach was wrapped up with bandage, a bit tighter then her usual cloth top, her legs till shook a little making walking a little difficult. Her arms shook as well making precision hard.

She couldn't play her lute like usual to hit on women these few days. She sat with an apple in hand, her wrist was shaking from holding the weight. That large creature definitely did a number on her constitution, her strength was originally ginger and delicate, but now it was practically non-existent. She'd take a few bites, her appearance a little disheveled and uneven clearly, she'd had trouble getting up and cleaning her clothes even if a bath wasn't so hard, clothes washing was something that she found hard resulting in her recent method being walking into water clothes and all.

Initially alarmed by the woman, Korra perked a brow when she began adjusting or fixing her desheveled appearance, after all, Korra was usually the one making advances on or touching others without permission. The reverse wasn't bad nor was sit good which made her brow knit in thought, perhaps it was because Korra simply enjoyed feeling others, after all she'd never gotten to experience things from the other side of the tracks. It made her wonder if every woman she arbitrarily touched was so devoid of the happiness she got from touching them, it was something that would require research, perhaps this was why women slapped her so often, because being touched wasn't interesting. Next time, she considered, she would endeavor to let girls know how much happiness and joy touching them brought her, perhaps then they would be more inclined to allow it or maybe trade the service for something she could offer in a way that wasn't quite the same as those women in the red light district.

Jogged from her train of thought by the question though, Korra looked the woman over with a criticizing gaze, though her expression was one of musing, her gaze was far from pure as it usually was when she examined others. "Oh? Sure, please do." She offered the woman the apple with a warm grin, her expression as bright as ever, though after having her clothing adjusted, Korra's appearance was more presentable. There was a great deal of skin showing, but nothing that would rouse anyone's suspicions or ire. It was a very casual, very relaxed style of dress, one that was perhaps more suited towards tropical climates then anything, but it was certainly Korra's style to wear as little as possible. Even without the fact that she was someone without shame, the reality that she enjoyed the feel of the sun and the elements on her was reason enough for Korra to make these life choices. "Then, how about something challenging? Can you skin it and leave a small portion of apple attached to the skin while giving me the rest in slices?" She asked with a warm playful expression, though she wasn't asking such to be needlessly difficult.

In truth, it was because the apple skin with a bit of apple still attached was meant for Kirin while she would enjoy the interior parts in slices. There was a warm nostalgia in that kind of way of eating, she'd done so with Kirin since she was small, eating the normal portions of foods while handing the not as manageable pieces to the creature that had followed her since she was small. "Stripped that away from you though-- That's not good. Was it the dungeon maybe?... Or something else?" She asked, the 'something else' was largely because of her own struggle she'd come out of. She herself wasn't injured from the dungeon, but her pain was done by a grieving mythological creature who couldn't understand her words enough to be reasoned with. Still, it was a far cry from dealing with the monster that was the source of the creature's grief, Korra herself was not one to endeavor to chase True Dragons after all, but even the lesser variety was enough to cause mass damage and hysteria, she'd seen that with her own eyes.

"Living to serve though huh? That's a shame, if I had someone like you serving me, I don't think I'd ever die." Korra mused with a happy smile, after all, being waited on hand and foot was what she'd desired ever since she was little, it was the reason she became a supporter, the thing she wanted from the harem she hoped to achieve in the future. The life of a princess was something she dreamed of, not so much for the money, wealth or influence but instead for the care and admiration Korra mistakenly believed it would bring with only her fairy tales to reference. The thought made Korra exhale a longing thought as she watched Melody work with her apple wondering to what lengths she'd go to try and achieve Korra's challenging request.

 

Korra simply relaxed, having help after all was delightful in this kind of situation, specially since the girl was so eager to please. With a musing expression, Korra considered how much to keep on the peel, after all, Kirin wasn't ever really particular. After a thought though she nodded back assuming a bit was just enough right? "Maybe just an inch, Kirin doesn't need that much since apples are usually just a snack for him." She admitted knowing that sweet fruits were a rare treat for her steed that usually ate meat or veggies because of how much Korra chose sweet things as a staple food for her life. In much the same way, Korra's favorite food was just as hard for her to come by, so she didn't want to spoil her partner.

"Ah, that's no good, the Dungeon is a dangerous place after all, anything could happen." She admitted, though with a small smile thinking back to her youth though, there was a place far more dangerous then the dungeon in her mind. "It's not the worst place to go though. It's a lot more frightening to run into that kind of horror here on the surface where you think it's safe." She admitted but hearing that the girl's services weren't in use, she flashed a kind smile knowing that it was probably tough for someone who lived their whole life in a situation only to see it change suddenly. "That's too bad though, I'd love to have you work for me, but I don't have a big manner that needs cleaning or a demanding life that you'd feel fulfilled serving I think." She admitted thinking that Melody would enjoy real actual nobles or princesses instead of someone like her who merely enjoyed pretending to be or acting like one.

Being asked which she wanted first though, Korra leaned forward on the block she was sitting on as she spoke. "I'll take the slices, the peel will go to my little friend." She explained, though when she it out saying 'say ah', Korra would flash a warm grin reaching a shake-y hand down to Melody's hand to gently elevate it with a touch. "Oh?~ That's too bad I'm not the type who gets flustered easily but... I can't say I dislike that sort of thing." She spoke trying to bite down on the apple slowly before bringing it into her mouth. If Melody didn't move away fast enough, her lips would come down around the girl's fingers to suck those clean of the apple remnants before chewing with a coy grin. Moistening her lips with her tongue to clean them as well, she idly ate the apple enjoying the treatment before asking for another to pick away at the slices slowly.

 

Korra chuckled a little, her tongue lapping at Melody's fingertips briefly to try and experience the girl a little, a simple and playful gesture. Though the more Melody seemed to act out and get confused by her own actions, the more Korra seemed to understand what was going on here. This was Korra's methodology after all, this was usually how Korra approached others, only she was a lot more attentive of her actions and understanding of what she hoped to acquire. Seeing Melody so confused was cute but Korra would recognize these types of actions anywhere and from anyone and anywhere.

When Melody put the piece in her mouth though and began to lean forward suggestively, Korra couldn't help a sweet grin on her face. Was this not her most favorite way to approach someone else? Melody was even going out of her way to do it for her instead, it was delightful and made her smile widen happily and brightly. She leaned forward contently trying to eat the apple slice from Melody's lips, if the girl didn't recoil fast enough, she'd kiss Melody's lips with her own soft lips happily, clearly pleased by such a thing, but seeing Melody's face flush so much, Korra could only giggle back sweetly. After all, Korra wasn't easily shy or blushy.

Instead, hearing Melody trying to apologize, Korra shook her head, her hands a little shake-y still from recovering, she tried to lift her hands up to Melody's cheeks to give them a gentle and reassuring stroke with her soft hands, though it was a little shake-y and hard for her, she still made the effort. "No no, I liked it. Why not feed them like me like that from now on?" She asked with a warm grin watching parting her lips and gesturing at Melody with a playful and childish impatience. "Come now, it wasn't so bad right?" She urged happily wondering if Melody would try it again.

 

Korra nodded back, clearly pleased this girl was willing to play ball, though exactly what was driving her to be so supportive, Korra wasn't certain. She nodded back though, again happy that Melody would keep feeding her in such a fun way. Accepting the apple, she was a little sad she couldn't try for another cute kiss, after all, that was something that she did enjoy, but Korra wasn't one to push her luck when things were going well. If she felt there was another inch she could take, she'd reach for a mile, but if not, she wouldn't pressure anyone, it was a lot less fun to be that forceful after all.

Though when Melody mentioned a strange feeling in her heart, Korra's eyes practically shined. Attraction? That was love right? Perhaps even more and even at a glance without her having to fight or scheme? It was a delightful thought, but Korra wasn't certain if Melody was just feeling tired or something else equally uncertain. Either way though, Korra saw fit to try and discover the truth about what she was feeling. "Oh? That's such a nice thing though, that's actually a feeling that always gave me a lot of strength you know? Hehe, I mean, if you're that attached to me, maybe you should work for me officially, and you'll be able to explore that feeling a little?" She asked sweetly though partly in jest, she did hope to have the girl at her side since she seemed to already feel a pull.

 

Korra was quite happy with the result of things and how they were playing out, particularly when Melody knelt down and declared her service so formally. After all, wasn't this what she wanted all along? It was a little strange to see a portion of her little dream come to fruition, even if it wasn't in the numbers she'd originally desired in her heart of hearts, it was a small start though towards that playful and innocent dream. Hearing the girl's conditions though, Korra cocked her head, knowing she wasn't the type to be impatient or needy after all, that would defeat the purpose of having more girls after all right? There was no reason to have one working around the clock when she hoped for many. "I'm glad, I'm sure we'll have a nice future together. I'm looking forward to it." She answered honestly and genuinely.

Though thinking on what Melody asked for, she couldn't help a playful smile, thinking that it would be fun to tease this girl. "I don't mind you having time off though, it would be bad to burn out right? Plus, then we could go on dates that didn't have to do with work~" She tried to tease as if she felt Melody's days off would be best spent on dates with her. Though she didn't really mean it, it wouldn't stop her from asking Melody if she wanted to hang out on her days off as well. Even with living in her own house, Korra only shook her head knowing that wasn't a big deal either, after all, Korra herself was practically homeless at this point in time, though she could easily afford a manor if she wanted one, she wasn't the type who would needlessly spend money unless she needed to. Without the need for the room, why have it?

"It's settled then! Now, how about the rest of that apple? Maybe without being in such a rush to sneak away after I bite down?" She asked giving Melody a playful wink again trying to tease her a little, though the reason she was asking was because of how shake-y she still felt while recovering. Hydra was a hard creature to deal with without being able to sooth it's rage and despair after all. Soon she might be able to change it's mine, but that time certainly wasn't now.

 

Korra happily brought her hands together, if she was in better health the sound of a crisp clap would have been heard, but instead the touch was more gentle from her frail recovery. Leaning forward once more, she tried to take the apple slice once more, biting down happily to accept it, though without Melody leaving again, she'd lean in a tad deeper for a kiss again. It was deeper then before, a more serious kiss, one that wouldn't be mistaken for a simple greeting, despite that depth though, it was gentle and tender, not forceful or overbearing since Melody still seemed confused, Korra didn't want to push her too far. Instead, once she was satisfied, she leaned back, clearly pleased, it showed on her face that was practically glowing with delight. It seemed Melody would be her #2.

"Thank you, that was very nice, I haven't been this content and satisfied in a long time." Korra answered the girl's silent expectations trying to give her praise or make the butler feel good about the service she rendered. Korra wasn't exactly sure what Melody hoped to achieve by servicing her, but int he end, she wanted Melody to know how much it meant to her. "I'd like to go somewhere though, do you think maybe you could take me? My usual mount is wandering about enjoying a day, I'd not want to call for him to carry me if you'd be fine helping me get around." Korra offered bringing her hands together once more to express her delight about having someone tend to her like a princess or someone with a noble upbringing. "I was hoping to have something warm to eat somewhere, and maybe run some errands, but it's hard for me to get around-- I was thinking of saving them for tomorrow, but with you it shouldn't be hard right?" She said with a happy smile cocking her head to one side feeling particularly cute as the delicate damsel she endeavored to be.

 

Hearing Melody pause briefly at the thought of what to call her, Korra wasn't exactly particular in regards to that sort of thing. There were a lot of people who didn't really know her name despite interacting with her a lot, Korra wasn't exactly hung up on them after all. "I'm Korra Quinn-- Miss or Mistress is fine though, it's pretty cute after all." She teased finding fun in playing along with that kind of noble treatment or action. Though when asked how she'd want to be carried, Korra wasn't particular about that either, in truth she just wanted help getting around, closeness was only a bonus after all.

"I don't mind, whatever's easiest for you, dealer's choice." Korra spoke lifting her arms up towards Melody with a bright smile. When Melody decides how to pick her up though she'd think for a moment before looking down at Melody in thought wondering what kind of food her new staff enjoyed. "What kind of place do you like for warm food? Do you have a favorite? Let's go there." She urged with a happy smile knowing that her errand was a bit more taxing then just carrying her.

 

Korra only chuckled sweetly when she was carried like a princess, the action didn't phase her too much, instead she was very content with this sort of treatment. It was nice, as she'd dreamed being treated like this, it was something she hoped playfully would come to pass someday. Though naturally she wasn't reserved at all, she held onto Melody gently as if afraid to fall while idly trying to feel around the girl gently, a hand coming to rest on her back reassuringly patting it as if to remind her she was doing a good job.

Though the hand that wandered close to her chest wasn't really bothersome to Korra, she wasn't someone who really had any shame after all. She wasn't someone who was advanced on often though, seeing Melody's hands coming close to her chest, Korra perked a brow trying to gently give Melody's side a soft playful touch. "I don't mind a nice massage dear, but there's a time and place right?" She tried to tease with a coy and jokingly innocent grin, that didn't stop her from idly rubbing Melody's side as they went, curious about where she'd be brought, she didn't know much about this girl who would be spending time with her from now on after all.

Seeing Melody's choice though, Korra couldn't help a childish snicker, a musing grin on her face as she cast a questioning glance up at Melody. The girl was trained or taught to be refined and detail orientated at least, but she picked places like this spoke to the girl's character. She was pristine and perfect for those she worked for it seemed, but for herself, she didn't push or pull and was minimalistic or pragmatic instead. "You like places like this then? How unexpected, that's kind of cute though huh? Look." She urged with a small smile seeing the man serving someone else. Though Korra wouldn't complain, this was close to one of her favorites after all, Korra's favorite foods were always grains; rices, pastas or breads, ramen was counted among those things.

Patting Melody's shoulder she tried to urge the girl and let her know this was quite alright and perfect for her, anything fancy wasn't necessary for Korra who often killed her own meals as well. Though when the man mentioned Melody bringing a date, she tried to answer before Melody herself could. "She's always so private and secretive, I insisted on joining her to her favorite spot this time~ Though I really wish she'd just open up and be more honest and open with me, this's a good start." she teased playing the role of Melody's date with a happy grin.

 

Seeing Melody protest though, Korra only moistened her lips with her tongue, a playful gesture before she leaned towards the counter with a heavy sigh. "See? Even now she denies it so adamantly-- Truly there's a long and winding road ahead of us~" She teased still batting her eyelashes at Melody clearly enjoying this little game she was playing. It was sweet, affectionate, but most of all fun. Melody was trying to deny it so feverishly to it only made it that much easier to accept as Korra sighed softly rubbing her cheek with a shake of her head. "Love is all about effort though-- I'll keep trying until she can be honest with herself." She teased happily continuing this cute charade as if it was the most lovely game or past time for her.

Melody's whispering to her though made her shake her head softly answering in a gentle tone. "As a servant shouldn't you focus on what makes the person you serve happiest? I mean-- It's a lot to ask maybe, I can't say I'm a lovely person. The thought does make me very happy though." She answered Melody's whispering even as she rose a hand to gently slide her fingers through Melody's hair while gazing deeply into her eyes. Korra watched her eyes and face closely, and if Melody tried to turn away, she'd gently try to turn her back by the chin. "Who knows, if I keep saying it, it might really happen?" She continued with a sweet giggle before turning to the woman beside her.

She was getting some attention from the owner after all, the woman seemed like she could eat, but Korra was focused well on Melody, trying to wrap the girl's arms around herself slowly around the neck like a sweet hug trying to pose Melody and herself as a couple as she turned to the other person. "What do you think mm? A lovely couple right?" She asked with a sweet smile and innocent grin, after all, Korra wasn't one to let go of someone she adored. Turning back to the old man who owned the shop though, Korra shook her head back and forth trying to clutch Melody a bit tighter as if playfully being possessive she answered back with a wide smile. "Hehe-- Sorry, I'm taking her over from here on out, I'm sure your son will find someone lovely for himself in the future though~" She said genuinely.
