It's already tamed him enough to accept a semblance of liabilities in his life -- allies, a visible homefront, interactions with individuals who bear no practical use beyond being Korra's family, a stable if not shady career. But Korra's recent illness feels like it's turned him downright mush-brained, at least between the tough love and prolonged separations. Good thing his capacity for intense emotion is, by nature, tightly-trammeled -- or else they'd probably be swapping Hallmarks and stuffed teddies by this point. ]
[ (Still, it's hard to deny that without Korra, he'd have gone round the bend fast -- back in the City, and out here.) ]

[ Dryly, ]
It's an acquired taste.
[ Yes, do sit down. And don't pass out on him. ]
