[braavado]

Yeah. No harm…and at least it’ll keep him off our backs for now. He probably just wants the security, just like you said.

I mean, even he’s not arrogant enough to go after two Avatars, especially when one of them is the First.

[browbeater]

I don’t know if Wan being the first Avatar really matters to a guy like Ozai. It definitely doesn’t make him more impressive than you. [oops, was that a compliment? It was.]

[braavado]

[While she appreciates the compliment...]

But he's Wan. The first Avatar! Of course he's more impressive.

[browbeater]

Why? [are they really gonna get into this. Mako's heard the story, he's missing how Wan could possibly be that much greater than Korra, considering everything she's done.

... though he can't really get into details.]

Anyway, it doesn't really matter, just you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Trust me, you're as impressive in your own right.

[braavado]

He just is. [He can probably imagine the way Korra's bottom lip is sticking out as she says that.

And then there's silence. Because this is Mako, and Mako giving compliments like this is still pretty rare. She's not used to it at all.]

You...really think that?

[browbeater]

Of course I do.

[SAY SOMETHING CHARMING...]

I bet Wan would suck at pro-bending.

[braavado]

[There's just a muffled sound on her end at first as she tries to hold back her mirth. But it's a futile attempt, and soon she's just laughing.]

I'm not sure pro-bending's the way most people judge how impressive an Avatar is, Mako.

[browbeater]

I know. But you're the first pro-bending Avatar, so who knows?

[she... can't really see the smile on the other end.]

[braavado]

[Though her laughter's already faded by now, the smile still remains. Of course I do. That hadn't escaped her attention earlier either.]

You know, between you, me, and him we do have enough people for a team.

[She drops the teasing tone after a second, taking on a softer one.]

Thanks. For...you know.

[Still believing in her, even when she doubts herself like this.]

[browbeater]

A team. Just one, though, so not much good it'll do us there. [he pauses]

... Sure. [he isn't going to make her say it.] Anytime.

[it felt weird to realize that maybe, just maybe, he was doing better at supporting her than he had before. It was kind of nice to realize, that he still had a place in her life... maybe.]
