[ Hei is aware of Mako watching Korra. Not head-on, but from the edges of his eyes, with an intensity more burning than any direct glance could ever be. Any other time, he'd experience a prickle of cold, irritated affront. If Mako were a stranger on the street, ogling Korra with that peculiar mix of hunger and resentment, Hei wouldn't think twice about zapping his eyes out of his sockets. But he doesn't -- because the boy is here on sufferance. Allowances must be made. ]
[ And to be perfectly honest, despite his disdain, there is also a twinge of understanding for the younger man, because they both share a hot fixation, warped into two different shapes, for this shining, infuriating, incredible girl. ]
[ Even so, he can't help but needle the boy on the jagged edges of privation. He's not that kind. ]
[ Flicking the loose hair his eyes, he tips his chin to regard Mako, at once unreadable and coolly mocking, ]
Stare any harder, and you'll burn a hole into her sheet. [ A beat, before his gaze shutters -- a dark lupine amusement in the face of Mako's more earnest canine gleam. ] Unless that's what you want.
