[ BOLIN CAN'T ANSWER HIS... LOCKET... RIGHT NOW, I GUESS. Or he doesn't have anything to answer yet. Who knows. Who ever even knows. ]

[ bolin if you can consistently pack for yourself sufficiently, mako will be so happy. it will be the best mothers day gift you could ever give him. ]

Hold her.

[ he unwraps his little noodle lizard and holds her out in his palms for bolin to take. ]

The book I have says it's best to use a distinguishing action that she won't normally see when I tell her you're family — so she can separate you from casual acquaintances.

[ but mako you'll let anyone kiss you, is that really that unique??? ]

[ Not far off tbh. He's more than happy to take that noodle lizard off Mako's hands, gently cradling her in his own and giving her a friendly smile. What an unfairly cute little lady. Jeez.

She's going to be so spoiled. ]

I do like being more than your casual acquaintance, yeah. Who knew those books would be so well-informed?

I know, right? Anyway —

[ mako takes a little breath and leans in, hooking one arm over bolin's shoulders so rizhao can look at him while he talks. he's careful to make eye contact, to wait for the spark of understanding as he talks. ]

Ri, you know Bolin, yeah? He's my brother, so he's pretty much your uncle. He's family, and he's safe.

[ and, then, mako leans in and gives bolin a kiss on the cheek. doll chitters happily, knowing this means bolin's a special nap spot now, and sits up a little bit to try and kiss him too... though all she really does is brush her nose against bolin's chin. ]

[ That totally counts as a dragon kiss are you kidding. But it does mean Bolin's gonna go in for the nose bump, so. Better be prepared for a lifetime of official spoiling. ]

Uncle Bolin does have a nice ring to it, dragon-wise. [ Man what an affection jackpot, though. Free sidehug and random kissing??? What a bro day. ] Look at you, huh, miss smartest dragon in the world? Getting your stuff all figured out!

[ he leans on bolin's shoulder, watching his two favorite babies get all schmoopy and uncle niecey and whatever with a totally not fond expression what are you talking about. ]

Don't teach her circus tricks, or I might disown you.

[ that might have been a joke. a really really terrible joke. i mean, judging by his face it's probably a joke. a really terrible joke. ]

[ mAKO YOU NERD OH MY GOD ]

No, no, don't be silly. [ v. understanding shoulder-pat. ] It's only a circus trick if you perform it as a circus act. Until then, they're all just skills.

Let me clarify, then — don't go busking with Rizhao.

dragon introduction;

[bolincredible]

Right. Read you loud and clear, Mako! All fun and no profit. Which is probably the best plan, since. A lot of people seem to have a real problem with dragons here. [ Don't think there are limits to the shits he'd flip over Rizhao though bro. There would be no solitary shits left to flip. ]

dragon introduction;

[jaywalks]

Yeah — which leads to my next point. We're not going to try to hide her, but... don't make a big deal showing her off, either, alright? The less undue attention, the better.

Okay. Won't be a problem! [ He may be terrible at keeping his mouth shut, but when it's a matter of "keep your mouth shut mostly" or "someone potentially tries to kill a baby dragon," even he knows what call to make. ] Whatever keeps her safer, right?
