A Bolin Story
Bolin gave an excited wave to his elder brother, Mako, as he entered their attic-apartment one night.
"Hey Mako, I taught Pabu some more tricks! Do you wanna see them?" The earthbender's eyes were glistening in childish excitement, causing them to appear almost emerald-like.
"Bolin, I told you that we don't need Pabu to do any more circus tricks," Mako sighed in frustration and shook his head. His slightly exasperated tone did nothing to dampen Bolin's excitement though.
"Aw, come on bro. It's really funny! I even made him a little outfit and hat," Bolin explained as he held up the tiny costume and hat before putting them on a surprisingly compliant Pabu. He then pouted at his brother.
"Fine," Mako sighed and sat down as Bolin gave a cheer of joy, "But only this time, got it?" Mako tried to sound firm, but both of the brothers knew that it would happen again.
"Okay Pabu, Circus time!" Bolin cheered and set the little fire-ferret on a balance beam where he proceeded to carefully execute some cart-wheels.
"See? Isn't this amazing? Do you think Korra will like it? I hope so…"
Mako smiled and gave a small chuckle as his younger brother went on about Korra. He was gesturing wildly and making weird faces. 'Bolin will be Bolin.' Mako shook his head.
"Makooo," Bolin whined, "are you even listening to me?" Bolin pouted again.
Mako simply told Bolin that yes; he had been listening, and continued to watch his brother make a complete fool out of himself. He even went so far as to try to wear Pabu as a hat.
