02.26 OOC - after Wan learns about storage | Phone for now

[raavashing]

[Wan eventually calmed down after picking up a few crumbling buildings near the barrier and tossing them against it. And late in the evening he returned to their house. But he didn't go inside. He sat on the roof in the remains of the first garden he'd started. The broken stone trellis room giving him shelter under the cloudy night sky. He stared up at it for at least an hour before he opened his phone and called Korra.

He knew she was probably trying to get to sleep. He didn't care. He needed to know if this was yet another secret she'd been keeping from him.

The phone was on video, but it showed nothing more distinct than the clouds in the sky because Wan set it to the side and spoke just loud enough to be heard, leaving it on loud speaker.]

Storage.

[Nothing else really needed to be said, did it?]

audio;

[braavado]

[The silence on her end probably speaks for itself already, but her words, softly spoken, and riddled with guilt, make it difficult to overlook her prior knowledge of it.]

I know. [A beat.] It's not how I wanted people to find out.

[There. She said it.]

audio;

[raavashing]

[Wan's response to that came after his own silence. The anger boiled up again, but it was tempered with simple anguish. Hurt. Betrayal. And he couldn't keep the last out of his voice when he responded, tone bitter.]

How did you want them to find out? They stumble upon it and find a friend, a wife, a daughter. Their bodies laying there, lifeless in boxes when for a months the only thing that got them through the day was the knowledge that if someone wasn't here anymore they were at least outside Yao Corp's grasp? Is that how you wanted people to find out?

audio;

[braavado]

[Korra winces, drawing her legs up to her chest, suddenly feeling cold. She's never heard him use that tone with her before, and she knows she deserves it for keeping it from him, though she's still conflicted. Part of her is telling her Wan and the others are right, that they deserved to know earlier. The other part, suspicious and weary after a year in Haven and supported by the other friends who knew, still says it was for the best. She doesn't know anymore.

She sounds tired when she replies.]

No, I--I knew it would be almost impossible to get in there right now. [No one would be able to just stumble upon it. Korra's words gains a hesitant quality when she talks again, voice sounding a little small, even to her own ears. ] I was kind of hoping we'd just...tell everyone once we knew how to get there and break them out.

[Well, Fujimaru saw Wan's rampage (because, honestly, it was hard to miss), and given that it happened to take place immediately after the general populace's learning about storage, the conversations of which he'd been listening to, it doesn't take a genius to figure out the cause.

More importantly (to Fujimaru, at least), he remembers that Wan is someone close to Korra.]

Looks like they know now.

[She can probably figure out what he means.]

audio;

[braavado]

[Korra doesn't reply to his message until early the next day, too worn out from her emotions. Her voice is subdued and tired when she speaks.]

Yeah...looks like they do.

audio;

[afflictive]

... You okay? However people are reacting now, it'll blow over in time.

audio;

[braavado]

[Korra sighs now, breath ruffling over the phone's mic.]

I don't know about that.

[It had been a little too personal in certain cases.]

audio; after Kuvira's intro

[tuffguy]

Soooo, something has definitely happened that we should probably talk about.

audio;

[braavado]

[That's not ominous at all.]

Ooookay? I'm in my room, if you wanted to come over.

audio;

[tuffguy]

Yes. Please. I'll be right over.

[ Nooope not ominous at all ]

audio; --> action

[braavado]

Door's open. Just let yourself in.

[and Korra will just be waiting a little anxiously in the living room area.]

audio. locked.

[asterbatics]

[ oh hey korra, guess who has been missing/has seen you since conner disappeared. ]

Hey- you busy?

audio;

[braavado]

Not right now. Why?

[She sounds a little surprised.]

audio;

[asterbatics]

Can we talk?

[ he hears the surprise in her voice, and if this were video she could see the way he smiles a little sympathetically. ]

It's not bad. I just wanted to catch up on a couple of things. Check in.

audio;

[braavado]

[She wonders if it's because of Conner--it's not a bad feeling, that this Robin would want to check in with her.]

Alright. Where do you want to meet?

action;

[enshields]

[Mako's gone. And Steve-- knows that Korra's lost more than enough people recently, so. He just shows up at her doorstep that morning after his run, didn't even stop to change out of his jogging gear.]

Morning, Korra. Up for a run?

[braavado]

[Korra leans against the doorway, giving him a wan smile. Though she's still in her sleep clothes--a black shirt with a red S-shield and a pair of worn shorts--the tired look on her face says she didn't get much sleep.]

Hey. [It takes her a second to consider his offer.] I could use the distraction. Give me a few minutes to change?

[enshields]

Sure thing. I'll wait out here, take your time.

[He gives her a smile, not overly cheerful just... quietly understanding, and adopts parade rest while she goes to change.]

voice;

[redactions]

[ Cheerfully, ] Hey Korra, got a moment?

audio;

[braavado]

Sure, what is it?

[It kind of amuses her that he's calling so soon after she and Steve went jogging together.]

audio;

[redactions]

Wonderin' if you could help me with somethin'. Just a little metalbending.

audio; backdated to 2/27 ahahahahaahahahahaaha ;__;

[Morgan had told him to support Korra after news of Storage had gotten out. It seemed Korra was one of the few people getting the brunt of the backlash, and though he didn't know Korra as well as he would've liked to, he still wanted to help her.]

Hey, Korra. You okay?

audio;

[braavado]

[She's had some time to cool off by now, but thoughts of Storage are still weighing heavily on her. Considering she and Axl have only spoken a few times, getting a call from him is a little surprising.]

Yeah...I'm fine. [Korra pauses, then asks cautiously: ] Why're you asking?

audio;

[copychip]

I heard from Morgan that you're getting a lot of shit from people about... Storage. I wanted to make sure you were okay.

I know we're not that close, but you're still my friend.
