Oh...yeah, I guess you guys don't understand the language we use back home. I think Sonia said it's called Chinese here? Or...something like that.

[and she's content to just ramble on while she looks after him.]

Sifu means "Master". She taught me practically everything I know about water bending and healing.

[he pauses.] Oh really? --Wait I should have known this. When you were here the first time you mentioned something along the lines of being able to read one of the books that was in the library. And those are a mixture of English and Chinese. I guess I sort of forgot about that. I'm kind of fluent in Chinese, but I'm probably a bit rusty now that I've been here for so long. That and things just sort of automatically translate into your native language here.... [aahh and now he's rambling!]

That's cool though.

You're...fluent? No way! [She's really pleased about this, for some reason. At least this means they can still talk, even if the translation thing stops working.] That might make things easier later.

[Then, she sort of pauses, looking pensive. Tense, too. Her hand curls around the damp cloth tightly when she pulls away.]

The first time I was here... you said we were pretty close. Do you think I'm...you know. Not as good of a friend as you remember?

[It's probably terrible to ask him this when he's exhausted, but she wants to know--it's been on her mind for a while now.]

[he nods.] Yeah, I guess it's one of the perks of being engineered by Luthor. He probably didn't want a clone that was just too.... I dunno, what's the word. It's not simple. [he yawns a bit as he shifts a little on the couch. he pauses a bit as he cranes his head a little to look at her. his brows quirk at the question.]

Hhmmn, well I think you're still about the same? You were really kind and caring, I actually felt like I was not of a good friend to you when you were here the first time. I vented a lot to you back then and you sort of just took my mind off of things by offering to spar with me, and things like that. I never really got to do the same to you. And I never really got the chance to do it either, 'cause when I tried to I left.

[It might have bothered her before, when she'd first arrived in Haven, but this time Korra just nods slowly, accepting it for what it is. ]

You are a good friend, Conner. You've helped me out more than you even know. Thanks.

[There's a pause.]

Luthor's wrong about you. You're so much more than just a clone.

[he flushes a bit. boy is he glad that he's not really feeling well or he'd have to come up with a witty lie to explain why his cheeks and ears are so flushed. he releases the breath he didn't even know he had been holding as he shifts a little bit more on the couch.

he just about loses it when he hears her next comment though. that came out of no where korra! warn a bro when you're about to give them a compliment-- well no, okay you don't have to warn him. but... it definitely made his stomach do a little flip in excitement. calm down dokis!!! gosh, don't give away his crush just yet. he has to do stupid boy things before he confesses under a dead tree. bc that's totally romantic.] Thank... Thank you Korra. I- [he pauses to clear his throat.] It means a lot to me to hear that.

Any time.

[Conner will feel her hand on his shoulder for a moment, before she pushes herself off the couch and stands up.]

I’ll get you a pillow and a blanket. Maybe after you’ve rested a little, you can move over to one of the beds? We have a couple empty ones in my room, and they’re probably more comfortable than the couch.

[his cheeks pinken a little. thank god he's feeling like shit so he can just blame it on that.] Uhm, no I- I'll be fine here. I don't want to impose.....

You're not. You're feeling like this because of whatever they did.

[She shakes her head.]

Anyway, you can decide after you're feeling better.

I still don't... [because then he'd be really obvious yeah!!!] I don't mind the couch.

Well...if you're sure. [Korra glances at him again before stepping into the room briefly to grab the pillow and blanket.

After she drapes the blanket over him, she slips a hand under his head to help him up.]

Here, lift your head.

Yeah I'm sure. [he nods his head as he lies down. he's practically almost asleep anyway. he lifts his head a bit, not really sure what it is korra's doing.]

[She slips the pillow under his head and fluffs it up a little awkwardly. Caretaking is hard.]

Now you're all set.

Thanks- [zzzzzzzzz]
