( he's a cop, he's never happy. he might've made the quip, if they were on solid footing. instead, he just... laughs with her. )

Well, I'll try harder, then. But really, if you want happy, you'd be better off spending more time with Bolin.

( wow, what a hug. korra never really has known her own strength, but he doesn't mind. it's nice to be held, even if hurts. he leans on her, letting her take a bit of his weight and just curls his hands up around her shoulders. )

I'm sorry I kissed you. I should have known better, it's. It's just. I can't imagine my life without you, and sometimes I just get so confused... ( a deep breath. he's excised the pain, or at least the worst of it all. ) At least I know now. I really do hope you and Asami can make it work. I want the world for you both.
