[It's dawn when Korra trudges back to the apartment. She's limping slightly, having discarded her bloody shovel blocks away.

She'd done it. Tenzin, Bolin, Asami, Mako. They're all gone. It had bothered her at first, but now she's okay. She'd done what she had to do. It's her job as the Avatar to protect people, and that's what she had done. This shouldn't bother her. This doesn't bother her.

Seriously. She's okay.]

[video]
[She's panicked and scared and who cares about filters Naga is sick.]

Setsuna, I need a doctor. Naga's sick.

[If anything happens to Naga, she doesn't know what she'll do.]


[action]
[All hours are visiting hours in Korra's backyard!

Wednesday: The height of Naga's fever
Thursday: Naga's fever has broken, but she's still very ill
Friday: Naga is exhausted but recovering

If you're a friend of Naga -- or just passing by -- you can stop by any time!]

[Naga struggles a little at first, but the water seems to soothe her. Eventually Korra puts a hand on Tohru's hand, a gesture for her to stop.]

That's enough for now. Thank you.

[She leans forward, burying her face in the fur on top of Naga's head so Tohru can't see the tears spilling out of her eyes. She smells so sick.]

[Tohru stops, tears in her eyes. Naga's just laying there....]

You're welcome. [She makes sure to say the words, but she sounds distracted when she does.] Does she have a fever?

[anatural]

Yeah. [Korra forces herself to be calm, and it finally occurs to her that Tohru is probably worried too. She reaches out to squeeze the other girl's hand reassuringly.]

But she's gonna be okay.

[She has to be. Even if it means making a bargain with the deities. Korra will pay any price to make sure Naga's safe.]

[riceballfruit]

[Tohru puts both of her hands around Korra's when she does, more determined to help Naga now.] Would a washcloth on her fur help lower the fever? I don't know what differences we should do for someone with fur.

But she definitely needs to rest. And eating something would be good for her. What is her favorite thing to eat? I might be able to make a broth so it's easier on her stomach.

[anatural]

I don't think it can hurt. Maybe around the ears and feet. The fur's thinner there.

[Think Korra think]

Meat. She likes meat. Can you make a beef broth?

[riceballfruit]

[As Korra says that, Tohru rises to get more washcloths, saving the current one strictly for water giving.]

Yes, I can. I bought beef and put it in the freezer, before things got out of hand. [She had been planning it for a special meal, then the zombies showed up and Korra disappeared. Besides, she could always buy beef again.] It'll take a bit to thaw and boil the broth out, but I can.

[anatural]

Thank you. [It's not as good as fresh blood for Naga, but there's no way she can get that. Not right now.]

[riceballfruit]

You're welcome.

[While the meat thaws, Tohru returns with more washcloths to put in the specified areas, but she hands them to Korra.] Would it be best for me to do it, or you?

[anatural]

Me. She still knows who I am. She might bite you.

[Korra takes the washclothes and gently lays them over Naga.]

Shhhh, girl. It's gonna be okay. You're gonna be just fine.

[riceballfruit]

I just hope she'll be alright.

[Tohru nodded as she handed the washcloths over, worried look still in place. Finally, she left to tend to the broth. If she couldn't help in any other way, she could still make that.]
