voice testing and looking for a game maybe

[boysonfire]

Yeah... Look, don't think I don't know why you're doing this. And don't expect me to say thank you.

This isn't about me. It's about you want. But don't think I'm going to let you disrespect Asa-- Or Kor--

You know what? Lay off of everyone already, and get me out of this place. The sooner we can end this conversation the better.

[irohdisboat]

And why, exactly, is she doing this, Mister Mako?

[boysonfire]

It doesn't matter.

[irohdisboat]

[He sighs and shakes his head.] If that is your wish, I will respect it.

If you do need to talk, my metaphorical door is open.

[boysonfire]

Yeah? Thanks. [ Maybe he should take Iroh Jr. up on that offer. ]

[irohdisboat]

You're welcome. [Just be warned, he tends have a lot of misplaced big brother instinct.]

[polar]

Telling them off doesn't work. Trust me on that.

[boysonfire]

At this point I'm hoping I can light a fire under her. I can't be sitting around like this forever.

[polar]

You mean metaphorically, right?

[boysonfire]

Yeah. Why? You haven't found a way to uh-- [ Do that for real have you Korra? ]

[polar]

Nope. Just wishful thinking sometimes, but she and I are getting on better now.

[boysonfire]

But you probably have somewhere you can call home now, right? You're not just stuck here?

[polar]

It's not "home" by choice, if that's what you mean. I'd rather be back in Republic City, but where I am beats floating around here, sure.

[boysonfire]

Yeah, that's what I mean. [ The last part. ]

What do you do there?

[polar]

Not really sure yet. I only got there a week ago. It's basically a magic castle... thing. [Pause] It does have a really nice pool, though.

[boysonfire]

Gee that sounds really great.

[vavavroom]

How's that working out for you?

[boysonfire]

I'm still here, if that's any indicator. You've been her longer though, I've got no room to complain.

[vavavroom]

Not really, no. [ little more than a week and she's had to deal with her father, yakone, and mun shenanigans up the wazoo. ] But it is pretty rare to see one of you around here... who knows, maybe your mun will take pity on you.

[boysonfire]

[ DING, DING, DING. ASAMI WINS EVERYTHING. ] And maybe she won't. [ He almost snaps back. ] I don't need anyone feeling sorry for me, least of all some crazy girl who's not sure what she's doing.

[vavavroom]

[ there's an instinct to argue here, but she's kind of tired of yelling at him. so she just sighs, and wills her voice to soften. ]

Pity was the wrong word... I meant mercy. You don't want to know half the things these muns can do to you, Mako.

[boysonfire]

I'm slowly learning. But you better not be speaking from experience. [ Or what? Mako will beat up Asami's mun? He can't do that. ]

[vavavroom]

[ she smiles a smile that isn't quite there. she's finding it harder to get over him when he constantly reminds her why she fell for him in the first place. ]

It could have been worse.

[boysonfire]

What could have been worse? [ Details, please. ]

[vavavroom]

[ she's tempted to tell him - he used to be that person for her, didn't he? - but then she remembers, yes, that's right, he used to be. ]

--don't worry about it. It's passed, it happened, I'm fine.

[ except for the part where her mun is planning on sending her to a smut game, but whatever.

besides, ]

We're talking about your misfortune here, remember?

[boysonfire]

What misfortune? Being stuck here on my rear, twiddling my thumbs...? [ Cry me a river. ]

If you don't want to talk fine, but you can't just tell me not to worry. It's not the sort of thing you can turn on and off, you know?
