Eska intently stared at him, causing the earthbender</a> to become unnerved, and Desna monotonously stated that he thought Bolin was trying to establish a bond with his sister. Amused by the idea of spending time with someone of such a different cultural background, Eska promptly stated that he now belonged to her.

Desna and Eska were set to travel on an arctic camel</a>, though when Bolin arrived on a snowmobile</a> with a side car, Eska inquired whether or not the side car had the capacity for two passengers. Bolin eagerly told her that it sure did, interpreting her question as Eska wanting to ride with him, though she had intended it as Bolin driving both her and her brother as passengers, much to Bolin's chagrin. <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">As the party later made their camp for the night, Korra asked Unalaq if he had a theory as to why the dark spirits were attacking.

The twins grabbed Bolin and hopped off the machine before it crashed. They let Bolin slide down the slope on his own, while they used their bending to create some ice shoes and skate down the mountain in perfect control, stopping with the rest of the group. As Bolin came to a halt there too, his snowsuit was entirely inflated, and Eska helped him to deflate by puncturing his coat with three ice spikes. The twins rode the rest of the way on Mako's arctic camel</a>, dragging Bolin, who remained seated in the now wrecked snowmobile. <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">After Korra managed to restore the southern lights</a> and emerged from the forest unscathed, Bolin was the first to hug her. However, Eska broke it up by waterbending an ice wall between the earthbender and the Avatar, sliding the former back to her, demanding to know why he was initiating physical contact with another woman. Bolin nervously smiled, and Eska released him, before walking away with her brother.<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cref%20name%3DSL%3E%7B%7BCite%20episode%7C2%7C202%7D%7D%3C%5C%2Fref%3E%22%7D" data-rte-instance="532-97645019753b1b68617380" class="placeholder placeholder-ext" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="ext" /> <h3 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> The Northern invasion <p data-rte-fromparser="true"><img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22image%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BFile%3ADesna%20and%20Eska%20laughing.png%7Cthumb%7Cright%7C200px%7CDesna%20and%20Eska%20laughed%20uncharacteristically%20at%20a%20joke%20made%20by%20Eska.%5D%5D%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Desna_and_Eska_laughing.png%22%2C%22params%22%3A%7B%22thumbnail%22%3Atrue%2C%22alt%22%3A%22Desna%20and%20Eska%20laughing%22%2C%22align%22%3A%22right%22%2C%22caption%22%3A%22Desna%20and%20Eska%20laughed%20uncharacteristically%20at%20a%20joke%20made%20by%20Eska.%22%2C%22width%22%3A200%2C%22captionParsed%22%3A%22Desna%20and%20Eska%20laughed%20uncharacteristically%20at%20a%20joke%20made%20by%20Eska.%22%7D%7D" data-rte-instance="532-97645019753b1b68617380" alt="" src="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130922221246/avatar/images/thumb/e/e4/Desna_and_Eska_laughing.png/200px-Desna_and_Eska_laughing.png" width="200" height="113" class="image thumb alignRight withCaption" data-image-name="Desna and Eska laughing.png" data-image-key="Desna_and_Eska_laughing.png" type="image" /> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">As the Northern forces</a> began to occupy the South, Desna and Eska were traveling through town in a rickshaw pulled by Bolin. In an attempt to joke around, Eska stated that she would hate to leave the "quaint" Southern Water Tribe. When Desna inquired whether she was sincere, she immediately expressed her relief over leaving the South, as she immensely disliked it. As the twins started chuckling dryly, Eska commanded Bolin to laugh at her joke as well. As they halted before a building, Eska descended from the rickshaw on a makeshift stair that Bolin bent for her. When Bolin expressed how sad he would be when she left, she corrected him by stating that he would accompany her to the North to live out the remainder of their lives in "icy bliss". <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">From that moment on, Eska continuously threatened to ice Bolin up and feed him to dolphin piranhas whenever the earthbender attempted to break up with her.

With Unalaq merged with Vaatu and locked in battle with Korra, Mako pleaded with the twins to release them, though Desna commented his persuasive effort to be pathetic.

Moved by his declaration of love, Eska kissed him while melting the brothers' icy prisons. While Eska watched them run off with a blissful smile on her face, thinking of spending eternal darkness with Bolin, Desna dryly commented that the brother would certainly perish, though did nothing to stop them.
