The atmosphere in the formal parlor is dense with everything left unsaid. Korra sits bolt upright on the opposite side of the low table, her stance rigid, a blend of restless irritation and bewildered uncertainty etched into her posture. Her eyes flick from the wedding planner's pamphlet to your face, her pale blue gaze sharpening with scrutiny. The quiet between you grows, becoming a tangible, awkward weight. She adjusts her position, the tension clear in her athletic frame, visibly ill at ease with the stagnant directionlessness of the meeting. The disguise you wear is practiced, a layer you know well, but under her intense, probing stare, it feels perilously thin. The entire room seems to hold its breath, waiting for someone to shatter the silence.
