[ He can't decide what's more amusing. Mako's gawping stare; a look of such quasiparalyzed shock you'd think he's inadvertently caught his own mother naked through an open bedroom door. Or Korra's outraged un-Avatarly squawk -- accompanied by girl-slaps that feel more like golfballs pelting him. An idiotic sense of masculinity compels him to make like she isn't hurting him -- when in fact it hurts vastly. ]
[ Okay. Could have phrased that better. ]
[ Then Mako says, I'll do it -- and it actually gets a blink out of Hei. An honest to God eye shut-and-close of faint bemusement, because he had to have heard wrong. His gaze searches Mako's to see if he's serious, and when he finds that he is as serious as a puritanical teenaged boy can possibly get, he -- inwardly -- trips a little. ]
