"Looks like you're all set," said Korra, clearing away the healing water from Jinora's ankle and putting it back in its bowl.

"Yeah, thanks Korra," said Jinora, staring at the floor.

"Ok, what's wrong?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," said Jinora, looking at the floor.

"You've been acting all depressed since I came in. So I repeat: what's wrong?"

"Nothing!"

"Mmmhmm. And would this "nothing" have anything to do with a certain Earthbender we all know and love?" Korra said with a sly grin.

She didn't even need an answer; the blush on Jinora's face said it all. Korra had suspected something was going on between the two when they had started spending more and more time together. Her suspicions were furthered when Jinora was injured and Bolin had carried Jinora to her for treatment. Mako had mentioned that Bolin had continued to carry Jinora around the island every time they were together and that he had been especially protective of her the last few weeks.

"You like him, don't you?" asked Korra with a cheeky grin. Jinora's blush deepened. "You do!"

"Shhhh! Keep it down!" Jinora hissed.

"Why? You don't want the world to know that you like Bolin?"

"Quiet!" Jinora rushed to the door, which was open, turned her head checking both ends of the hallway for anyone who might have heard Korra, and then after seeing no one nearby, promptly shut the door.

"You like Bolin! You like Bolin!" Korra teased in a sing-song voice.

"How old are you?"

"Oh come on Jinora! You two would make a cute couple! Why don't you tell him how you feel?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," said Jinora turning the other way.

"That's bison crap and you know it! I've seen you two together!" yelled Korra walking around to look at Jinora's face. "Jinora, look at me." Korra suddenly became quiet, taken aback by the look of pain that briefly flashed in Jinora's eyes before she covered it up. "Jinora, tell me what's wrong." Korra said a little quieter. "Why won't you tell him?"

"There's nothing to tell!" Jinora yelled.

"Jinora," Korra said quietly, but firmly and giving Jinora a look that said, "I know you're lying".

"Fine! You want to know the reason I won't tell him? It's because I know there is no point!"

"What?" asked Korra, confused. "What do you mean there's no point?"

"Look at him Korra! He's a former probender, a war hero, a great police officer even though he's still a rookie, and his fan girls from his probending days still swoon whenever he goes somewhere! What chance does a girl like me have with a man like that?" Jinora finished her tirade looking down.

"Jinora, you're crazy! You and Bolin are great with each other!" Korra exclaimed, trying to make the younger woman see sense.

"As friends! That's all Bolin sees me as, a friend. Maybe even a kid sister. I've tagged around him long enough he may see me that way." Jinora was looking more and more downcast as she elaborated. "He'll never see me as an available woman."

"How could he not? He may be dense Jinora, but he's not blind. How could he not see how beautiful you are?"

Jinora blushed when Korra said this. "You're just saying that because we're friends."

"You know that's not true. You know me well enough to know I wouldn't sugar coat the truth just because you're my friend," replied Korra, giving the younger woman a pointed look.

"I'm nowhere near as pretty as the girls he used to date," Jinora said looking down.

Korra was just about to reply with, "Used to. How long has it been since you've seen any of those girls around?", when there was a knock on the door before an air acolyte opened it and told them that dinner was ready.
