"Korra's such a girly name," Mako laughs out breathlessly as she flips her sparring partner with the flick of her ankle, watching as his blue eyes widen in surprise before his broad back connects with the floor, a low-toned "oof" popping from his lips like a bursting balloon.
She stands above him in victory, flicking the sweat from her forehead and tightening the band holding her sleek black hair in place, when she's upended, a hand grasping her ankle and pulling the earth out from under her as she nearly crashes upon her not-so-vicious attacker, her quick reflexes just barely kicking in and allowing her to roll to his side, escaping a grasp that would lead to admitting defeat (because despite her speed, he's just barely stronger and can keep her pinned down even after a good fight).
"Well, I like to think I made up for it," he says lightheartedly with a close-to-cocky wink before he pushes himself into a sitting position; Mako's gaze travels from his hands held up in defeat, to his muscled arms relaxed upon his knees, to his firm chest expanding with every panting breath, and she curses the little voice in her head that admits yes, you certainly did before she stands and offers him a hand.
