[tuffguy]

Yes.

[ I did nothing wrong nope nothing at all ]

[afflictive]

[Well, he can understand to an extent. Not so much in the 'helping people' area, but having been a tekigousha for most of his life, he's not sure how he'd define himself without that status—without his right arm or his ability.]

... And here?

[braavado]

[Occasionally, she'll glance behind to see if he's still there, but she doesn't really have any destination in mind. Running like this feels like she's leaving her troubles behind for just a little while. It's some kind of reprieve, even if they'll just catch up with her again.]

[braavado]

[Now there's a small smile on her face, called up when he pauses slightly on the word 'friend'.]

A necklace, huh. Must be a pretty special friend.

[It's a kind of relief, to shift her focus onto something a little more lighthearted.]

[redactions]

[ He winks at her. ]

That she is. Is this all right for you or should I get somethin' else?

audio;

[braavado]

Oh. [There's a startled pause. And then, her voice sounds a little warmer.]

I'm fine. Thanks for checking up on me, Axl. You...didn't have to do that, even if Morgan did say something to you.

[braavado]

[She doesn't buy it!!! Now she leans in again, squinting at him slightly.]

Uh, I'm kind of scared to ask, but what did you do that needs "forgiving"?

[braavado]

[Another pause, this time with an air of uncertainty.]

I don't know. Just...Korra, I guess. Even if people don't know what my title is, it doesn't mean I stop being the Avatar.

But at least it means people want to get to know me because of...me.

[afflictive]

... You're used to it being otherwise, huh?

[tuffguy]

Well, for starters, I did work with Kuvira for the past three years.

[copychip]

I did it 'cause I care, you know! You're a nice person, so it's not fair that you have to deal with everyone's anger 'cause you guys made the good decision not to tell anyone about Storage. It's not like you were trying to prevent them from saving the people stuck in there.

[braavado]

[Korra leans down to look at the contents of the box, studying them for a second.]</small. Should be alright. It might take a while for me to get this done, though. A necklace is...more delicate than anything I've ever tried making before.

[redactions]

[ The grin softens into a genuine smile. ]

How can I help?

[braavado]

[She pulls out a piece of metal, turning it over in her hands.]

You could start by telling me what kind of necklace you want to give to your lady friend.

[redactions]

[ He describes it to her, gesturing. ]

[braavado]

A little. [She doesn't sound too bothered by it, weirdly.] I never really thought about it until I got here. Being the Avatar was what I knew, especially back then.

I guess I got pretty lucky with the friends I made. Mako, Bolin, and Asami didn't really care about titles all that much.

[afflictive]

Good for you.

[He doesn't mean it condescendingly; he's genuine about it. That she's had people who ignored her reputation is good to know. Having everyone around you define you by a reputation that's out of your control can be a life-ruiner.

And because Fujimaru's not shy about stating his opinion—]

Still sounds like a heavy duty, though. A lot of people would probably wanna run away from that kind of responsibility, to be honest.

[braavado]

Bolin, you just said you thought you were helping.

You didn't know she was doing all this, did you?

[tuffguy]

No, but that doesn't change the fact that I did help her or that I tried to convince Suyin to give up control of Zaofu to her.

[braavado]

Maybe not, but... [Korra draws him into a hug.]

I know you, Bolin. You're always trying to help people. As long as you know the truth, that means you can try to fix things, right?

audio;

[braavado]

So...you think it was a good decision, too?

[She wonders how he's come to the conclusion, since it seems like most of Haven's up in arms about the whole thing.]

[tuffguy]

Yes, definitely!

[braavado]

And the Opal I remember liked you just as much as you liked her sooooo.

[Korra draws back and ruffles his hair affectionately.]

I'm sure things will work out in the end.

audio;

[copychip]

I do. This kinda info is dangerous in the wrong hands. It doesn't harm anyone who doesn't know, and we can't do anything with it either, so it's better to keep it hidden until something can be done.

[He's definitely played the information game before. As a reconnaissance unit and a high ranking Hunter, he's been privy to extremely sensitive information and he's had to pick and choose his circle of informants wisely. From a logical standpoint, Korra and Morgan's decision to hide information about Storage was the best move.]

The people who think otherwise... they're just thinking about themselves. About how much it sucks for them not to be in the know. That's all.

[braavado]

[Korra listens, head cocked to the side.]

I should be able to do it. It just might take me a little while, getting the shape and size right.
