( honestly mako is an extremely tactile person, for all that he's not exactly touchy, so having a hand in his hair basically just makes him weak at the knees.

korra could probably get him to do literally anything for the price of a few light strokes. not that that's any different from how they normally operate, though.

also: bolin and konoha would be too much pure-heartedness in one room, which of course means they have to do it. it makes something catch and stutter in his heart to think of his brother getting to meet someone who's as good and bright as he is. )

That's an amazing idea, why didn't I think of that? Yeah! We should. She's from a place sort of like ours, but... older, I think? She mentioned samurai.
