"It's bad luck to have a woman on a ship," he tells his brother when his over-eager green eyes and booming voice announce the arrival of their new crew member, who's pushing past him and onto his ship without invitation, laughing about how she can't believe her new captain still listens to "silly superstitions."
He's convinced he's right when her ill-taken advice directs them into a storm that nearly overturns his beaten ship and later when she pickpockets the captain of the Armed Forces in the bay of Isla de Republica, who curses and vows to capture them as they rush their way out of the harbor while she just laughs with Bolin about how red-faced the man was when chasing them (and Mako seriously contemplates abandoning her in the next town they visit).
But the changing winds and tumultuous waves conspire against him, send him careening into her figuratively (he's never had his attempts at avoidance thwarted so adamantly by one person, her deliberate invasions into his private cabin with half-thought through suggestions to his plans both annoying and yet, somewhat pleasant), then literally (his once steady feet stumble with even weak rolling waves when he's near her and she's always too close in the narrow passages of his ship, her form firm yet yielding under his hands, her lips a warm and soft contrast to the heated pressure behind her kiss, her eyes a shade of blue he wants to sail in for as long as she'll let him), and only then does he realize that his luck is changing for the better, superstitions be damned.
