[it takes him a moment to switch to video-- he wasn't as great with the switching as she was. Not yet, but he'd get there.

The picture was just slightly off, but he gives her a shrug.

I tried?

And then once the static clears, he gives her a thumbs up, that he slowly turns downwards, and then sideways.

Is everything okay?]

[braavado]

[She appears to think about this, unintentionally recording herself tilting her head to the side and closing her eyes in thought for a second.

I dunno...

Then her eyes are open again, and she's making a sort of see-saw motion with her hand.

So-so. It could be worse?]

video;

[browbeater]

[oh, whew. He looks relieved and gives her a thumbs up.

This was creative conversation... or something. But asking more complicated questions? Now that... that was hard.

He smooshes his hair down-- it's clear he's asking about Conner, or trying to be. (Jealousy pang #1 of the day)

And then repeats the same motion.]

[braavado]

[It takes her a second, eyes lighting up with a bit of amusement when she figures out what--or who, in this case--he's trying to say with the hair thing, and then her expression falls.

She shakes her head.

Not so good.]

video;

[browbeater]

[he shakes his head.

That's no good.

But, admittedly he wasn't sure what he could say after that.]

video;

[braavado]

[She's just about to think of some way to get her message through with gesturing when

it clicks.

Why are they even talking like this when they can just meet up???

Korra cover her face with a hand briefly, then points to herself, then at him through the screen. It's followed by a vague gesture at the apartment as a whole.

Should I go to you?]

video;

[browbeater]

[oh yeah. Duh. He nods-- his room is empty. Manji's somewhere else, and Riley had left for 'camping.' Whatever that meant.]

video; --> action

[braavado]

[He'll get a brief video of her leaving the apartment and shutting the door behind her before it ends.

On my way!

Aaand about ten minutes later, the door to block 29 will swing open as Korra walks in.]

Mako?

audio;

[braavado]

N-no? [Korra sputters, a little cowed by the sudden onslaught of fashion talk.]

I guess I just don't really notice because I didn't really care much about...clothes. That's more of Asami's thing.

[A pause.] Is it really that bad?

[browbeater]

Hey.

[he sets the phone aside, having given up on trying to make it work for the moment. Especially while she was there.]

Guess the phone lines are getting worse.

[braavado]

You think? [Just a little sarcastic.]

I'm starting to think we should just skip them while they're like this. It's not like we can understand what we're trying to say anyway. [Korra pauses, then grins.] Except when we're gesturing at each other.

[browbeater]

Iiiiii think we should stick to our dayjob.

[he stands up, his hands in his pockets, and he approaches her]

So... no good suggestions, huh?

audio;

[chiblocker]

Who's Asami? She sounds like someone I need to meet.

[ actually wow she would probably get along with Asami a lot? ]

It's kinda bad, but it's okay. You can just be the most fashionable Avatar!

[ yeah Aang doesn't pass her test either ]

action; backdated 8/6

[backwordscompatible]

[She was used to people mostly Kon barging in without knocking, and thus didn't immediately look up when the footsteps approached. Laying on her stomach, on her bed, phone in hand, it was only when a distinctly female-sounding grunt echoed through the room that she even bothered to look up at all.]

...Korra?

[She sat up almost immediately, throwing her legs over the side of the bed.]

What are you doing here? Not that I'm complaining, of course.

[braavado]

[Korra drops her pack onto the floor, trying not to look like a deer caught in the headlights.]

I--uh. [She bites her lip and rubs at her neck.] I'm going to be staying here for...a few days. Which bed's the empty one?

[backwordscompatible]

[Korra, why do you look so guilty.]

The one above me.

Do the boys know about this, or were you planning to surprise them? Because I could try to record that.

[braavado]

[Guilty, who's guilty? Not Korra. Obviously.]

...Conner knows. Kon probably doesn't yet.

[Yup, that would be why.]

[backwordscompatible]

[oh well that's okay then]

Wait...did Conner ask you to move in with him?

[braavado]

Wha--no. [Korra's voice immediately drops to a hiss, though it's probably pointless since...the boys and their ridiculous hearing. She glances toward the door.]

I...offered. He looked really stressed after he told me what happened with Kal's plan. I just thought it would help if he had someone else to watch his back in case something else happens.

[backwordscompatible]

[The hiss was actually kind of funny, since not only were they the only two in the room for the moment...but both Conner and Kal had Superhearing.]

Oh, I get it now. You asked him. That makes more sense.

[braavado]

[Korra looks at Zatanna suspiciously, arms crossing over her chest in a classic defensive posture.]

What do you mean it makes more sense?

[backwordscompatible]

Nothing.

[Smile a permanent fixture to her expression for the moment, she got up and diverted her attention towards Korra's things. A deliberate, abrupt change in topic.]

Need a hand?

[braavado]

[Why does it feel like Zee's just waiting for her to relax before she springs some other suggestive comment on her?

Still wary, Korra shakes her head.]

Nah, I didn't bring that much with me. Most of my stuff's still in the room with Wan and Sonia. Not that...there's a lot to begin with.

[backwordscompatible]

[Because]

How long do you plan on staying?

[If she hadn't brought everything, despite there being very little, then clearly this wasn't meant to be permanent.]

[braavado]

Maybe...a week? [Korra tosses the pack up onto the upper bunk, just needing something to do with her hands.]

Conner seemed pretty shaken up by what happened. I just wanted to stick around long enough to make sure he's okay, since he's...kind of mad at Kal right now, too.
