[ at that, she nods. in retrospect it was probably a good thing that she was able to talk to solais, mako and bolin all at the same time because not only did it relieve her of the burden of keeping things from the both of them, but it also cleared her mind for the rest of the trip home.

silence blankets between them for a moment, and korra takes a breath in — ]

Did Mako tell you Aang was here?

--no, he did not. A lady on the network mentioned it once, though! Yeah, I was gonna ask you guys if he was around, but then things got all crazy, annnnnd, you know. I forgot.

[ SHRUG. No seriously, he completely forgot about it until now. Presidential hero, ladies and gentlemen. ]

How about we go find a noodle place to save from those creepy shadow dudes and you can tell me what he's like in person?

[ ...! oh. well, she was going to go on to explain why she felt like she had to handle azula on her own (because aang left, and thus the avatar duties fell to her), but... ]

I'd like that. [ and she offers bolin a lopsided smile, stretching her arms out in front of her to pop her back. ] —Hey, Bolin?

[ Oh did I say really really easy when I meant like bordering-unnaturally easy...... Korra will tell him the thing in the future and he still can't read people well enough to realize she she was leading into something there.

Life is nice. And Mako raised him to follow up serious conversations with food. (Plus even if they can't score free heroic noodles, he's probably got enough money from Pabu's tricks to buy them. Speaking of, he goes ahead and leans down with his arm out to summon the nearest fire ferret.) ]

Yeah?

[ yeah, she'll tell him the thing while they're eating their lunch.

for now though, she waits until bolin stands up before wrapping her arms around his shoulders and drawing him into a hug, placing a light kiss on his cheek. ]

Thanks. [ annnnd there's that lopsided smile again, and korra takes in a slow breath from the base of her lungs. ] I didn't realize how much it bothered me to keep that in, and now .... it's weird, but it feels like a weight's been lifted.

[ korra, what did tenzin tell u with regards to talking about stuff.

don't bottle it up. ]

So... yeah. Thanks.

[ aaawwwwwWWWWWWWWWWWW ]

[ BRING IT IN HERE FOR THE HUG, AVATAR, EXCELLENT CHOICE IN THANK YOUS. ]

Hey, don't even worry about it! [ You're not mad, he's not mad, he didn't have to be carried out of a noodle bar by John or Kaldur because he ruined a friendship. This day is now only mildly disappointing. ] Why do you think I'm always saying stuff, huh? Works wonders!

[ because you don't fuckin know any better. ]

[ OH WOAH okay we're seriously hugging now, and korra laughs as she casually lifts bolin off his feet so they can head back toward the main road and find a place to eat.

just don't mind that mischievous smirk of hers. ]

Mako's always saying it's because you don't have a filter.

[ Legend of Korra's arms damn. ]

Yeah, I've heard that a few times. [ He's heard it so much, probably. ] But Mako's kind of like a giant walking filter? So I like to imagine he's either jealous or he approves and it just gets lost in translation before it hits me.

[ bolin's got a front row ticket to the gunshow. at least until korra puts him down on the road, absently kicking her foot at one of the large-ish pebbles beneath them. ]

It could be both?

Could be. You know me, though. Hate to make him feel insecure about this stuff when he's got his own merits. [ Like landing two relationships where both parties actually wanted to be in the relationship! Being tall. Understanding taxes. Having impulse control.

Little stuff. ]

Aw, that's so nice of you.

[ she bends down to pick up one of those pebbles, feeling it out with her fingertips since she can't use her chi, a devilish look coming over her. she lets bolin get some yards away from her before— ]

Hey, Bolin? Think fast!

[ aaaand chucks the pebble at his head ]

[ think...... fast......?

korra pls

he's getting hit with a rock tbh

but he totally catches it after it's done hitting him!! ]

How are you always so good at aiming?

[ LAUGHS. sorry, bolin, she's not even trying to be polite about that. ]

Years and years of training.

[ WOW KORRA HOW RUDE. ]

Well it's definitely paying off, I'll give you that.

[ and with a ruffle of bolin's hair, korra challenges him into a race to the nearest market for some food.
