Day 233 | Sector 2 | late afternoon
[ action ]
[When she's not on assignment in Sector 1, Korra can be found wandering forlornly around Sector 2, where she and Mako had been (briefly) reunited. She'd been doing so well, not missing home, but seeing Mako, getting to talk to him and kiss him and hold him again, has opened up the floodgates. It's been weeks since she's seen Bolin or Tenzin or the air bender babies; months since she's been able to spend any significant time with her parents or Master Katara. She's never been separated from Naga this long since they were both babies.

She wants her boyfriend. She wants her best friends, and her teachers, and her parents, and her world, and her life! She's sick of being trapped here, having all of her powers and yet still being less than nothing.

Be wary of the sulky Avatar.]

I'm going to be home late tonight. Don't worry about me.

	[Weirdly enough, eating noodles doesn't make it any easier to avoid crying. This whole situation is just reminding her of Bolin, and how he took her to a real Water Tribe restaurant when she was feeling depressed about Mako. She misses her boyfriend, and her best friend, and her home, and her life. Hopefully at least the slurping will mask her sniffles.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It does, for a little bit. Bart's oblivious to a lot of things, but even he can't ignore sniffling after a while. In-between slurps, he tilts his head at her.] I said something wrong, didn't I? [Because clearly that's the only reason why she'd cry in front of him.] I know I say a ton of stupid stuff, but I don't mean it half the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Damn it! She sniffs loudly and forces herself to take a deep breath.] No, you didn't do anything wrong. You've been great. [cough Keep it under control, Korra!] It's just been a rough few days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh. [He's terrible at hiding his relief.] That sucks. [Does he need to beat someone up? He's not much of a brawler, but he knows how to pack a wallop.

Instead, he goes to another food cart and grabs green tea ice cream for her. What else is he supposed to do? He doesn't want to ask her about it - if it's this bad, chances are that he can't do much about it. So he focuses intently on his own noodles, taking his sweet time for once.]

	[While he's gone, she wipes her eyes, forces herself not to cry, and finishes off the noodles. She doesn't really want to talk about it, but she does kind of feel like she owes Bart an explanation for getting all weird on him.] My boyfriend was here for a day. [She blurts it out, kind of awkwardly. Emotional conversations? Not something she's good at.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Huh?

[He jumps, almost dropping his bowl. So that's why she was all moody... Bart couldn't blame her. If his girlfriend (or future wife) had come, it would've bugged him too.] Back when all those people came, right? That really sucks.

[more seriously:] I get it, though. It's like... you see someone important, and you want them to be here and yet you really don't, 'cause Marina's hell.

	[She nods. She doesn't really know what hell is, but she gets the idea -- Marina is not a place you want people you care about to be.] I miss him. And his brother. But.....mostly I just miss Naga. [She and her best friend haven't been apart since she brought the polar bear dog cub home.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Naga? [This is the first time he's heard of the polar bear dog - at least, by name.] Is he - she? - another friend of yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{12} deal_with_it 2013-09-06 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	She's my best friend. We've been inseparable since we were small. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-09-07 12:57 am UTC (link)
	I can only imagine. [He's a bit envious - he doesn't remember any of his childhood friends, if he even had any.] Hey, you never know. Maybe they'll bring her over, and I can always give her a hard time about what a cute girl she is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{13} deal_with_it 2013-09-07 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	[Korra chuckles.] You should take her for a ride. [It occurs to her that, with how fast he can run, he doesn't really need to ride a polar bear dog to get somewhere quickly. That thought distracts her from the fact that her sentence really came out wrong...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	H-huh? [Did she just...] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	killerspeed 2013-09-07 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	[She did! She really suggested it!] I... [He sighs. Because oh, he'd normally be all for this, but--] Do you really mean that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{14} deal_with_it 2013-09-07 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [It takes Korra a moment to realize why he seems so -- And then she starts laughing.] SORRY. Sorry, sorry. I probably should've mentioned. Naga? Is a polar bear dog. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-09-07 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [He sighs of relief. His bags fall to the floor as he heaves his shoulders, but he really does not care - for a second, he was worried that Korra had lost it.] Wait, if she's a polar bear... dog... thing... have you thought about asking the Wardens for her? They said you can keep pets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{15} deal_with_it 2013-09-08 12:50 am UTC (link)
	Naga is not a pet! [But. Wait. That wasn't the important part of what he said.] I could do that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-09-08 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Not sure. I know you can keep pets 'cause my friend Zee has one, but I've never asked for one from home. I mean, Naga may not be your pet, but she isn't exactly human either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{16} deal_with_it 2013-09-08 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	It's worth a try! [Maybe? It doesn't count as giving up on escape, does it? No. She'll still be working her hardest to get out of here. She just really misses her best friend.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-09-09 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Exactly! No harm in going up there and asking them. [Worst case scenario, she won't have enough rehab points, but those can easily be earned.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{17} deal_with_it 2013-09-09 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Impulsively she reaches out to hug him.] Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-09-10 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	[He flinches, more from the surprise of her action than anything else, before returning the embrace.] You're welcome. [Bart feels like he should let go right about now, but... it feels kind of nice (and unexpectedly so).] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{18} deal_with_it 2013-09-12 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	[If he holds on too long, Korra doesn't notice. She pulls back with her first genuine smile all day.] I'm going to do that right now! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-09-12 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	Awesome! Lemme know how it goes later, okay? [Bart smiles in return, finally picking up his shopping bags before he turns towards Sector 2.] I definitely wanna meet Naga if she gets to come and play here. (Reply to this) (Parent)
