Korra isn’t snooping— she swears— but the small painting behind Tenzin’s desk has drawn her attention, again and again, and she’d like to see what’s on it. To satisfy her curiosity once and for all.
There are two Watertribe siblings in it, and at first she thinks it’s Kya and Bumi, but then she realizes that the facial proportions are off. They are strangers to her—the woman is gorgeous though, and Korra finds herself staring, lost in the contours of her face. She doesn’t hear Tenzin come in behind her.
“I see you’ve found the painting of my mother and uncle,” he says, clearing his throat.
Korra steps away from the painting like she’s been burned.
