[ In the dimness, Korra's eyes, staring into his, are like two blue bruises. Hei can hear her breathing, his own. And he realizes that he feels sick, unsteady, dull and horror-struck. He isn't one to judge people on what gets them off -- unless it's pedophilia, which in his eyes isn't a kink at all, but a fucking perversion. Even so, it's terrible to him that Korra would want replicate the things he'd do with Amber. She's not Amber. He doesn't want her to be. ]
