So you're still thinking about sending an "application" to that wing place, Mun? Well good. You have great taste.

-Wait, you mean you aren't taking me from the ending? Where I'm happy? No! You can't do that! It's not fair!

[Shut up, Korra. It's going to be the end of episode four, and you have to DEAL WITH IT.]

You know what? You suck as much at being a Mun as I do at Airbending!

Yes, and I know that, but still! I won't be a fully realized Avatar until the end! She should have just picked then.

[irohdisboat]

You also would have been busy with restoring everyone's bending.

[spiritblocked]

I'm the Avatar! I'm always busy.

[Okay maybe she's just making up excuses now.]

[irohdisboat]

[It's endearing to see her like this. He can't stop himself from childishly tugging one of her side pony tail things.]

Then even more so when you are fully realized, or will you just turn into an old woman who complains for the sake of complaining?

[spiritblocked]

[H-hey! Korra's cheeks flush a little because what is going on, and she reflexively swats the hand away.]

W-wouldn't you like to know.

[irohdisboat]

[It's the sailor in him. Teasing girls and flirting with women are natural intincts...and he inherited some of his great uncle's idiosyncrasies.]

Perhaps I would, dear lady.

Still, think of it as a vacation before everything hits the fan.

[spiritblocked]

[Her blush keeps until his last sentence, in which it fades and she averts her gaze.]

Yeah, I guess so. [She's "The Avatar" though. She doesn't want to leave Republic City to Amon.]

[irohdisboat]

[Hair ruffle before he returns to his normal, stoic self.]

I was fail so hard at this "cheering up sullen people" thing.

[spiritblocked]

[Oh come on. Korra takes a minute, but she reacts like a normal kid, pushing his hand away and making a pouty face. She's seventeen! Not a kid! But it does get her to lighten up a little.]

Hey!

y I typo so hard tonight? =_=

[irohdisboat]

[He gives a soft laugh.]

Now, that is much better. No sullen old women here.

lol it's cool

[spiritblocked]

Is... this proper behavior for a General, Sir?

[This is all so embarrassing. M-maybe not bad, but definitely embarrassing.]

[irohdisboat]

Mm. Perhaps not, but I think I can use nepotism to my advantage here. Can't really discharge a prince with out his consent.

[A soft, relaxed smile.]

And I think I can sacrifice a bit of dignity and propriety for the Avatar's pleasure.

[spiritblocked]

Hey, who said I'm-

Don't you have a boat to command, or something? [She's not flustered. Nope.]

[irohdisboat]

Currently in dry dock getting repaired with the rest of my fleet.

[spiritblocked]

...Oh.

[Well there goes that. UHM.]

[irohdisboat]

Truly, if you are alright, I will leave you be if that is your wish, Lady Korra.

[Head tilt.] Is that your wish?

[spiritblocked]

N-no... I mean! You don't have to leave, I just-

I'm not a kid you know. [People used to get married at her age, you know.]

[irohdisboat]

I don't interact with teenagers and people my age much.

I'm sort of an old man. Probably won't be long till I start handing out candy to people your age and complaining about the good old days.

[They still do, but he's managed to dodge that royal family bullet so far.]

[spiritblocked]

Heh, just don't go forgetting my name now, General.

[irohdisboat]

Don't worry. I'll brag about you to all my friends in my Pai-sho group.

[spiritblocked]

You play Pai Sho? [She may or may not have seen some of the Order of the White Lotus Members playing it.]

[irohdisboat]

To relax, but yes. I don't get a reliable enough signal to listen to my radio dramas on the ship, so playing with my men is an excellent way to pass the time.

[He's not in that esteemed group yet. Yet.]

[spiritblocked]

It's... actually not my kind of game. [Because it requires strategy and patience.]

[irohdisboat]

It's not for many people. [Another reason he's considered an old man for liking it.]

I get too worked up watching probending myself. Some of the players have horrible, horrible form...not that either you or Mako seem to have any problems with it.

[spiritblocked]

[She shrugs like it's no big deal, even if inwardly she enjoys that sort of praise.]

I did learn from a master.
[She grins at the thought of Mako. Yeah, he is pretty great. Though in all honesty she has noticed a little that Mako's style of bending is so catered to Probending that it's only semi-useful in a real fight.]
