So, the second conversation. This one is a bit longer and I began to change the rating a bit. Plus there's a new theory, this time about the New Avatar Team member.
I'd love to know what you think, all those peeps who followed the story. Pretty please? (:
Conversation 2. Embarassing one.
- Greetings from the United Forces!
- Bolin?
- Get it, huh? United forces? Booolin? Gosh, Korra, how many hints do you need!
- No way…
- Yes way. I have a military calling, just couldn't ignore it any longer!
- General, are you the one to be blamed?
- Actually, no.
- 'Kay then. Good for you, Bolin!
- Wait, what if it was I to be blamed?
- Then I'd scold the hell out of you.
- Wha.. Why?
- Probably because she feels the need to drag you into lots of arguments lately, general.
- Spending some time in an equalist barn binded together can, indeed, erase some boundries, but I don't see how it allows you to announce the news before the official recruitment, Bolin.
- Whoops, forgot 'bout that. Anyway, I'll leave you two to digest the news.
- See you later, Bo!
- Erm, Korra..
- Yes, general?
- Would you, please, stop that.
- What?
- I was hoping you wouldn't call me 'general' here. It's not a formal occasion anyway.
- But you're in your uniform.
- Yes.
- And that was definitely the act of subordination I saw moments back with Bolin.
- Yes, but..
- Problem?
- I didn't tell Bolin to stop calling me general, did I?
- So it's only me then. I'm so flattered.
- Korra..
- General?
- You just like to infuriate me, don't you?
- No, I love it. Honestly, the look on your face when I say 'general'..
- Well then, Avatar.
- Huh?
- Have you finished with all the bending restoration in Republic City, Avatar?
- Well..
- I heard some of the bending elite invited you to the series of celebrations this month. Which you're most likely to decline.
- Why am I?
- You're not the party person, Avatar, not any more, at least. I can see why you would chicken out if I'm being honest.
- Chicken out? I never..
- If I recall correctly, your latest speech was interrupted with that firebending friend of yours..
- Stop.
- .. drugging you out of the scene quite violently after you suggested..
- Stop right there!
- .. to bring much more fun to the evening. Which you did. It was impressive!
- Oh Tui and La..
- You're blushing so lovely, Avatar Korra. I'm sure you don't really remember much about that evening, that's why I'm so keen to deliver the missing information to you.
- You have no honor, general..
- Now why would you say that?
- ..None at all.
- Debatable. But, still. Your firebending friend..
- His name is Mako!
- Uh-huh. So, after he realized the reason for your.. uhm, eccentric behavior, it was impossible to hold him back when he rushed to that waterbending friend of yours..
- His name is Tahno. And he's not my friend!
- Believe me, I can see why.. So, it was a big fight involved. It was actually very amusing.
- Ugh..
- I'm not sure who you were supporting by shouting 'Go get him!' from the rooftop of the estate. How did you climbed that roof in the first place?.. And then I had to interfere. As much as it was amusing watching you having fun at the presumably boring celebration, I soon realized that you were in no condition to stay on the rooftop without falling off eventually. Since all of the guests were preoccupied with the fight, it was my duty to accompany you to the safe destination. It wasn't easy I must tell. I almost regretted being so noble around you, for you had absolutely no intention to leave the party yet. It was obviously indicated by the number of clumsy attacks, with no bending, thankfully. Somehow I managed to get you off the roof and finally, the amount of whatever that waterbender drugged you with began to knock you unconscious. I carried you to the restroom with no one noticing, thankfully. You kept mumbling something in that hazy state of yours. I assume you were having a dream of sorts.. Drug-induced fantasy? I don't know, but then you called my name so softly, it was almost a whisper, and..
- Iroh..
- Just like that, in fact. Almost a whisper, but I heard it anyway..
- Iroh, please..
- Maybe there was a 'please' too, not sure about that.. I had to lean closer to hear whatever you were going to say next.. Or should I say moan? Are you blushing again, Avatar? No need to look away, I won't continue. Obviously, you remember that part of the evening.
- You.. You!
- Yes?
- Oh forget it!
- Well, I can't. Not that I wanted to.
- This is so embarrassing..
- Korra..
- Just leave me alone.
- Look at me. Now, that's better. Your cheeks look like they're gonna firebend at any moment. No, stop! I'm not laughing at you, Korra.
- Oh really?
- Why would I? I'm glad you remember that part of the evening. It wouldn't be a problem if you didn't, though.
- Because it wouldn't be so embarrassing?
- Because now I have enough opportunities to do something you will remember.
- Iroh..
- That's more like it. No general.
- No Avatar.
- Deal.
