Nadia’s expression flickered.

Korra, unlike the rest of the world, knew the truth.

It wasn’t that Astrid’s father had disappeared or died.

The truth was that Astrid had never had a father in the first place. She had only had a mother from the very beginning.

But despite knowing that, Korra never knew exactly how Astrid had been created.

"So how is it possible, Nadia?" She asked curiously. "How exactly did you give birth to Astrid without an actual partner?"

She scratched her head, thinking.

"One time, a couple of years ago, when both of us were drinking, you got particularly tipsy. And you told me it had something to do with Mika’s mother."

Nadia’s face went completely still.

Korra didn’t notice. She was too lost in her own recollections.

"Based on what you said, I wondered if both of you and Mika’s mother got hot and steamy in bed and did the impossible, and you became pregnant with her child."

She laughed, clearly treating it as a joke.

But the moment she finished, Nadia’s eyes turned cold. Arctic cold. The kind of cold that made the temperature in the room drop several degrees.

Korra’s laughter died in her throat. She realized instantly that she had messed up.

But luckily, Nadia quickly calmed herself down, closing her eyes.

When she opened them, she was not as fierce as before, but she was still dead serious.

"Please don’t talk about Mika’s mother in such a manner, Korra. She isn’t someone that you can just bring up in your dirty topics like that."

Korra realized her mistake and quickly apologized.

"S-Sorry for what I said...It just slipped out."

Nadia shook her head. "It’s alright. I know you were just joking around."

She let out a sigh and continued with strained look on her face,

"As for how I got pregnant with Astrid...well, it’s not something I can say. It’s a family secret, so I have to apologize for keeping something like that from you."

Korra simply shook her head and smiled.

"It’s alright. Everyone has their own secrets."

Nadia felt a surge of appreciation for her friend. No matter how playful and indecent Korra could be, when it came to proper moments, she knew her boundaries.

She didn’t push. She didn’t pry. That was why they had such a good relationship.

But despite saying she wouldn’t ask anymore, Korra’s mind was still churning.

She knew that not only was Nadia without a partner, but the other Battle Angels as well.

None of them had husbands or lovers.

Which made her wonder—how exactly had they all gotten pregnant?

And how was Mika’s mother involved?

She thought about her conversations with Mika. He never really brought up his mother.

Whenever she asked, he would just let out a wry smile and say he didn’t know much about her.

All she knew was that all the Battle Angels looked up to her as their older sister, someone they respected deeply, almost like a mother themselves.

Nadia also mentioned that she had the most brilliant mind in the entire universe.

So brilliant, in fact, that she was the very reason the Eternal Queen had been stopped.

Without her, nothing would have started and nothing would have ended.

The more Korra learned, the more curious she became.

Who exactly was Mika’s mother?

What was her connection to the Battle Angels?

And how had she helped them defeat the most powerful being in existence?

She glanced at Nadia through the screen, seeing the exhaustion in her friend’s eyes, the weight she was carrying.

She didn’t ask again.

But she wanted to.

Oh, how she wanted to.

While Korra was spinning her own theories about Nadia’s mysterious pregnancy, Nadia was having thoughts of her own.

Not about how she had conceived Astrid or what ancient family secrets were involved in that miraculous event.

No, her thoughts were much more immediate...shameful.

Ever since she had watched those videos of Mika—the ones where he was with the elven empress, the lizard queen, all those older women and especially after witnessing his live performance with Cecilia, there was one question that had been burning in her mind.

One question she desperately wanted answered.

And now, since they were already so deep into taboo territory with her best friend and Korra had already confessed her relationship with Mika Nadia decided: why not just ask?

They were already here. Already past the point of no return.

What was one more forbidden topic between friends?

Finally, after some hesitation, she looked at the screen with a shy, almost embarrassed expression.

"...Korra."

The dragon queen looked up, her tail swishing curiously.

Nadia fidgeted, then finally forced the words out.

"Can you please tell me...how sex actually feels?"

"...huh?"

The moment the words left her mouth, Korra was so shocked that she actually dropped her phone.

It tumbled from her hands and bounced on the bed.

For a solid three seconds, all Nadia could see was a blur of dark scales and rumpled sheets.

Then Korra scrambled to retrieve the device, shoving her face back into the frame, her expression a mixture of utter shock and barely contained excitement.

"What?!" She practically shouted. "What did you just say?! What are you talking about, Nadia?? You mean...sex? As in—"

She lowered her voice conspiratorially, though her eyes were sparkling.

"—the part where a rod goes inside the hole where babies are made? That sex?!"

Her nose was practically pressing against the camera. She looked like a child who had just been told they were going to a candy store.

Nadia, her face burning, nodded stiffly. "Yes. That."

She immediately realized how strange this must seem, how out of character.

So she scrambled for an excuse, any excuse, to explain away her sudden curiosity.

"It’s just that...Astrid has been asking me questions about this lately. You know, curious about...such matters. And I don’t really know how to answer her."

She gestured vaguely, helplessly. "I never wanted to ask you about this, but—"

Korra’s eyes somehow widened even further.

"What? Astrid is actually talking to you? When did that happen?!"

Nadia felt a pang of guilt. She was digging herself deeper into a pit of lies.

But she had already committed, so she pressed on.

"She’s been opening up more recently. We’ve been...moving in a smoother direction."

Korra clasped her hands together, genuinely delighted.

"Oh, Nadia, that’s wonderful! That’s been such a problem for so many years. I’m so happy for you!"

Nadia nodded, her expression carefully neutral.

"But recently, she’s been asking strange questions. Questions that a girl her age would ask, I suppose. And since I personally don’t know anything about it..." She hesitated, her cheeks flushing. "I would like to ask you. So...how does sex actually feel?"

Korra stared at her for a long moment.

Then she burst into laughter—loud, enthusiastic, utterly delighted.

"Finally! Finally, my dear Nadia has grown up! She’s asking questions like this!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Nadia’s face turned crimson. "I told you, it’s for my daughter—"

"Regardless, you’re still asking such questions, and I’m so happy we can finally talk about such matters!"

Korra waved a dismissive hand.

"You used to shut me down every time I tried to bring up anything even slightly dirty. But now..." She patted her ample chest proudly. "...you can count on me. I will educate you thoroughly."

Nadia leaned closer, clearly eager to listen, and Korra launched into her lecture with the enthusiasm of a professor teaching a beloved student.

"First of all." She said, holding up one finger. "How sex feels depends on many factors."

"The person you’re with. How much you love them. Their skills." She waggled her eyebrows. "And also their...assets."

Nadia nodded carefully, her face hot, but she listened intently.

Korra’s expression soured. "Take my disgusting husband, for example." She practically spat the words. "He is completely horrible at sex."

Nadia blinked. "What? That doesn’t make sense. Aren’t dragons known for their high libido?"

"Yes, they have high libido." Korra scoffed. "But they have absolutely no idea what to do with it and have no clue on how to properly pleasure a woman."

She rolled her eyes in disgust.

"Not only do they just pump aggressively like they only care about their own desires—they’re also very quick."

She gritted her teeth. "A few thrusts here and there, and they’re done. Completely finished. And the woman is left there, abandoned, unsatisfied."

Nadia’s eyes trembled in shock. This was not the reputation dragons had.

Korra continued, her voice dripping with disdain.

"Not to mention, despite being massive in their dragon forms, when they’re in humanoid shape, they’re really not that impressive downstairs."

Nadia gasped. "You mean—"

Korra nodded, clicking her tongue.

"Dragons don’t have much size down there. My husband is barely average. Nothing special at all."

She shook her head.

"All those rumors about dragons being utter sex gods? Completely wrong! Anyone who expects otherwise would be sorely disappointed."

She sighed, her shoulders slumping.

"Overall, it’s a very disappointing experience."

"Not to mention, my husband and I haven’t even been intimate many times. From the very beginning of our marriage, he’s been scared of me."

Her voice grew bitter.

"Even though he’s the Dragon King, I possess roughly the same level of power. He can’t easily control me, so he’s terrified of taking any sort of assertive move toward me."

She paused, her expression dark. "Honestly, we’ve barely had any proper intimacy at all, other then when I conceived Nuri."

She shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant, but the bitterness was evident.

"If I were to rate my experience with him, it would be minus one hundred out of ten." She shook her head. "A thoroughly horrible experience. I would never recommend anyone go near my husband."

A pitiful look crossed her face as she added,

"I almost feel bad for all the women he’s been with. They probably have high expectations, only to be utterly disappointed."

She looked directly at the screen, her tone shifting to something more instructional.

"That’s why your partner is so important, Nadia!"

"Unless the person is right for you, unless you love them, unless they have the proper skills and the proper assets, sex is going to be a miserable experience."

Nadia nodded along, mentally scribbling notes.

She had never been interested in this topic before—had never needed to be.

But now, with everything that had happened, she wanted to know. She needed to understand.

Then Korra’s expression transformed.

Her scowl melted away, replaced by a radiant, beautiful smile.

She clasped her hands together, her eyes growing dreamy, her voice turning almost coquettish.

"As for Mika..." She let out a soft, contented sigh. "He’s the exact opposite of my husband!"

Nadia leaned in.

"If I rate my husband minus one hundred, then Mika would be..."

Korra paused, tapping her chin thoughtfully. Then she chuckled.

"Well, there’s really no way to rate him at all. He’s simply at the top of the game. No one could match him. No one in the entire world or the entire multiverse."

Nadia’s gulped as she asked,

"There’s no way it can be that good, right? You’re simply exaggerating."

But there was a keen interest in her voice, a desperate curiosity she couldn’t hide.

"Oh, I’m most definitely not exaggerating!"

Korra shook her head vehemently, her smile never wavering.

"Nor is anyone else who’s experienced Mika in bed. They would all agree with me."

Her voice grew soft, almost reverent as she said,

"There’s just...nothing like what Mika can give you."

She hugged herself, her wings fluttering, her tail curling and uncurling.

"Whether it’s the way he treats you the whole time—speaking such sweet, dirty words that make your body shiver all over..."

Her wings fluttered.

"Or the way he touches you, caresses you, until your body just melts completely, leaving you limp while your eyes go bright and unfocused..."

"...it’s divine."

She pressed her hands to her cheeks.

"There’s also the way he looks at your face. The way he kisses you and moves you around like you weigh nothing."

She paused, searching for words until dreamily saying,

"It’s just...it is pure nirvana, Nadia. A nirvana that only a woman can reach with him."

Nadia’s breath hitched. Her thighs pressed together. Her body was growing hotter, responding to Korra’s words in ways she couldn’t control.

But Korra was too caught up in her own fantasy to notice.

So, caught up in fact that she ended up taking her explanation too far...
