( mako pinches the bridge of his nose. he could argue. he's aware of that. only, the thought of it is exhaustive, overwrought. because at the end of the day, his reason for not caring what happens to criminals is a personal one. he doesn't believe in hurting them, causing unnecessary pain, or even killing them unless there's no other choice. it's just that he remembers far too well being a little boy and watching his parents burn. just a job, done by people like that waterbender that they left unconscious and trussed up like a holiday meal. )
I'm glad you saved him.
( it says a lot more about dick's character than any one single thing he's done. he cares. a lot, about everyone. it's the kind of compassionate that mako wishes he could be. the sort that asami and korra and bolin already are. he's not going to say it's a bad thing, because having that... it's something that humanity sorely needs. maybe more than ever, now. )
But I'm sure you know you didn't leave me with a lot of options.
