Companion

~P~

Naga was her companion – the friend that would always be there for Korra, no matter what.

No matter how bad things got, no matter how royally the Avatar screwed up, no matter how many people she let down, Korra would always have Naga to look to, to hug when nothing was going right.

When Korra had first been taken away from her parents and the excitement had worn off and the loneliness set in, Naga was the one she spent her quiet nights with, silently crying and wishing for the company of her mommy and daddy.

When she had whizzed through all of her bending tests with flying colours, Naga was the one she ran to and expressed her joy to, nuzzling her and grinning widely.

When the Avatar came to Republic City – the only one she truly trusted, at first, was Naga. When Mako pushed her too far over the edge or the stress became too much, Korra could safely vent to the polar bear dog without any worries of judgement, unlike what she would receive even if she talked to even her closest of friends.

And now, when they were all in the middle of the war, Korra still slept beside her friend, cuddling into her soft white fur and murmuring.

Naga was the best friend that the Avatar could ever have asked to have, to trust and be with her always.

And Naga wouldn't want to be anywhere else – as long as Korra was by her side, even in the direst of situations, then the polar bear dog was glad. If Korra was happy, then so was Naga.

Author's Notes: Simple and short. Besides – I wanted to write a drabble that wasn't focussed completely on shipping. XD
