nowhere

everywhere

you can't find me

[ she's actually in the backyard, trying to get naga to play, which is... hard. Since it's october. ]

[arclightning]

Finding people is my job, and also I can see you.

[ Giving into a childish, tired impulse, Mako heads into the backyard after checking first her room and then the kitchen.

Mostly so he can try to steal her Fluid while she's distracted with Naga. Mako can be very sneaky when he wants to be. ]

[bend_it_like]

Hey! [ Korra twists around, frowning at him. ] Way to be mature, Mako. Give it back.

[arclightning]

No. [ He uses his height advantage to hold it up out of her reach. Going full brother here. ] You can't be trusted with it.

[bend_it_like]

Hey! I can totally be trusted. [ She leaps up, maybe using a little airbending, to try and snatch it from his hand ]

[arclightning]

No, you can't, you're obviously using it wrong— [ He's definitely teasing, but the airbending takes him off guard, so he releases it into her hand with a grin. ] I need you to translate something Chloe sent.

[bend_it_like]

[ Korra snatches her phone back to herself, tucking it in her belt.

She looks at his phone, and what he's showing her. She blinks. ] Um. I think it's meme.

[arclightning]

[ Oh, Mako read about those! In the dictionary. That Chloe sent him. ] It's a joke that people send to each other? But why? What does it... mean?

[bend_it_like]

I think she's calling you a whore? [ The word feels uncomfortable on her tongue. She grimaces. ] What did you say to her?

[arclightning]

[ What? Why would she do that? Mako thought this was a friendly conversation but if she's saying that then clearly he did something wrong????? ] Uh. I was. Joking! Why would she think that?

[bend_it_like]

I don't know, Mako! Let me look. [ She scrolls up in their conversation, frowning as she reads it. ] Uh... I think she's annoyed that you're fine with being weird? But why would she call you a whore for that...

[arclightning]

She called me a nerd once. Maybe this is like that. She doesn't mean it like it sounds.

[ these nerds are taking it SO SERIOUSLY. Mako is really going to figure this one out!!! ]

[bend_it_like]

I... guess that could be true. [ She's still frowning at his phone. ] Do you think you could have hurt her or something?

[arclightning]

[ OH NO. Mako looks up at her, his brows furrowed. ] I hope not, but— [ He doesn't say "it wouldn't be the first time," because Korra will know what he means. Mako doesn't usually mean to hurt people, but he's... got a track record. ]

[bend_it_like]

We could ask..? [ Korra holds his phone out for him. ] Look, even if you did, I'm sure it's fine. She'll forgive you. [ Right? ]

[arclightning]

[ Mako takes it back, silent. ] It's fine. It'll be fine. It's probably some internet thing I just don't understand.

[bend_it_like]

I hope so. [ Because she's one of Korra's only friends here and she doesn't need her newest friend to hate her oldest friend.

She shrugs. ] Wanna get some sparring in?

[arclightning]

[ Mako grins at her. ] Oh, you're looking to get beat again already?

[bend_it_like]

You'll get beat, Mako. [ She sets down her phone and brings up her fists. ] No bending, best of three.

[arclightning]

[ Grinning, Mako falls into his own familiar starting stance. ] You're on, Avatar.
