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.
