accusation
They'd been fighting for the last twenty minutes. Bolin just wanted it to stop.
"My fault? How is it my fault?" Korra stood at one end of the training area, her fists clenched at her side. The charred remains of their battle plan fluttered through the air between her and Mako. He seemed to have lost all logical control over his eyebrows. The pair of them seemed to radiate heat and neither of them seemed particularly conscious of the other six or so people around them trying to regain their attention.
"If you hadn't gone in hands blazing we wouldn't have had to give up our location. We could have taken out that cell!" Mako accused heatedly. Bolin had long lost track of how they'd gotten on the subject of the previous attack on the Equalists; now he could only marvel at the sheer amount of emotion his brother was displaying. He'd never seen Mako look quite so ridiculous. He also never knew his brother's eyebrows could curl up that much. Briefly he wondered if his own eyebrows were capable of such acrobatics. For several moments he tried to test this theory, though without much success.
He glanced up at the other members of their circle, a helplessness falling over him. Asami looked rather confused, though it seemed like she wanted to say something but knew it was probably better not to. Katara looked downright gleeful, like this was the reliving of a happy memory. She chatted quite animatedly with Fire Lord Zuko who seemed to feel most awkward around other people. Tenzin was turning several shades of purple that Bolin was certain were probably not conducive to breathing. And Lin Beifong seemed to be entertaining herself by metal bending a coin up and down in her hands.
"Well maybe I should take you out!" Korra shot back, a pout forming on her lips. One of her fists ignited. Katara waved a hand, having finished her jovial chat with Zuko, and extinguished the Avatars flame.
"Have a seat, Korra." Katara said as if nothing amiss had transpired. Bolin marveled at the effectiveness of this strategy and filed it away to ask Katara about her magic later.
