[ He kind of expected Mako to say that. Honestly, he's seen his brother takes kicks and punches to pretty much every part of him and he's never complained. It's true that Bolin can be the oblivious sort on occasion, but he's close to Mako -- he knows him. He knows when Mako's putting up that tough act again, and swatting away any concern others may have for him like they're annoying elephant-flies. ]
Alright ... [ There's an uncertain pause, like Bolin still has something to say but he doesn't know if he should say it or not. He's not the tough sort. He doesn't like to bring things up if there's a chance he might make someone angry or the conversation might turn difficult. Still, he does remember one instance a few weeks back when he saw Mako being rushed out to one of the healers because he took a direct hit from the lightning. Bolin twiddles with his thumbs, biting his lip, then goes ahead and speaks. ]

But you should take it easy sometimes too, Mako.
