[Somewhere between ten and fifteen minutes after the Uber picks her and Naga up, though, Korra gets a text.]

Would you like anything?

[anatural]

[Korra and Naga are just getting through the door when her phone buzzes. She reads the text and scowls. Now he asks.]

No

[And then she throws herself onto the floor. Air conditioning feels so good....]

[It's another 40 minutes of radio silence before Korra finally hears a knock on the door. Ishida could just let himself in, but, perhaps because it's Inoue and Arisawa's apartment, he instead waits - in the heat - for Korra to answer the door.]

[In his hands are two bags, one clearly with a box inside, though it's hard to guess what may be in the other one.]

[He'd considered getting Inoue and Arisawa ice cream, considering the heat - but for that exact reason, and the fact that he was visiting by train station instead of driving made him decide it wasn't feasible - the ice cream would be a little melted by the time he got to the apartment, so he'd settled on something else.]

[What's the protocol for answering the door when you're staying at a near-stranger's apartment? Korra looks over at Naga, as though the dog might have an answer, but the canine just rolls around on her back and huffs quietly. Super helpful.

After a few minutes, she decides to get up (moving very quietly) and peek through the peephole. If it's a Jehova's Witness, she'll just pretend nobody's home.

When she sees it's Ishida, she's tempted to still pretend no one's home. But since it's not actually in her nature to play petty little games like that, she opens the door.]

Did you take the scenic route?

[He offers a small smile.] I made an extra stop. [He'd hoped she'd be in a better mood once she was out of the heat, but he can still detect a touch of sourness. If it wasn't just the heat, then... it was probably something he'd done or said.]

[And now he's wondering if that extra stop he made will only dig him deeper.]

[He lifts one of the bags, and Korra can probably glimpse the logo of a pet store on the plastic bag.] The heat seemed to make Naga miserable, so I stopped at the pet shop and bought her treats.

[...well, at least he's not complete slime & dog's breath. Though Korra's still a little too cranky for her usual "love me, love my dog" attitude.]

Thanks. [Naga is clearly more enthusiastically grateful than Korra, who immediately turns around and throws herself on the couch right next to the air conditioner. Making sure to leave no room for him.]
