It's a good idea, but no matter what I do, I can't bend water. Just ice. Once it melts, I'm done.

That's not the point here. Point is, I don't know that I'd consider warmblood a bad thing. Still makes you different than the average citizen here, no matter what they say. Less chance of bleeding up a weird gem.

[shiro2hero]

What about freezing water? Turning it into ice? Just - humor me here.

[Yeah and it means everyone he cares about doesn't need him to protect them anymore but we're not going to go there-]

wait
Who's bleeding gems?
How long has that been happening?

[arclightning]

Since I got here, every time I bleed. It crystallizes.

[shiro2hero]

... Well

Guess that means you won't need more 'weird bandages' from Deerington at least?

[arclightning]

No, just. I don't know. A jar. Or not to bleed but I can't ask for that.

This is kind of a big deal to you, huh. The blood thing.

[shiro2hero]

I'll find you one on a keychain.

[He's teasing, lightly. Because Mako's right. None of them can ask for that.]

It's

I'll get over it. Don't worry.

[arclightning]

Sounds a lot like "I'm fine" when you say it that way.

[shiro2hero]

It's also not something anyone can do anything about. So...

I'll get over it.

[arclightning]

Shiro, if I told you that I was just going to get over it, you'd give me that look. You know the look.

[shiro2hero]

Are you giving me the look now?

[Not the point, Shiro Shirogane.]

[arclightning]

[ In response, Shiro gets a selfie of Mako taken through Zuko's eyes.

He is absolutely giving Shiro The Look, flat and a little worried. ]

[shiro2hero]

oh wow

you've been practicing that look

[arclightning]

In the mirror every day. Still gonna tell me it's fine?

[shiro2hero]

I'm going to say I don't want you worrying about it.

[arclightning]

And I'm gonna worry about it anyway.

[shiro2hero]

I had a feeling you'd say that.


Would it help anything if I said Adam knows? He's - yelling at my brain right now.

I don't want to add more to your plate, Mako. That's all.
