[ It's funny how you can read everything on Bolin's face; his worry, his guilt, his super-charged cheer. The quintessential problem of normal people, Hei thinks: where he is not all there, they are way too much there. And with that endless stream of chatter, this is Bolin to the max, a heavy presence at Hei's side of wide-eyed looks and stumbling chatter and frittering energy. While he babbles, Li nods understandingly, and thinks sourly, This is the impromptu mid-supper pep-talk that is my hell. Nodding, smiling. ]
[ Still, one thing is clear. Whatever Bolin's hiding is of minimal importance. Probably he's embarrassed by intimate details he's learnt during his fling with Korra. By proxy, if nothing else. Everything the boy's trying not to think about, trying to keep hidden and repressed, rushes across his face as he chatters in a full-immersion sensurround. ]
[ When Li speaks, his words come with quiet ease. ]
She matters to me too. [ The one truth in this entire conversation. ] That's why I worry so much, I guess. Especially with how dangerous things are lately.
[ A beat, before he drops his voice confidingly, ]
I keep hearing all these rumors of something bad brewing. Something after her.
[ A subtle prodding for Bolin to share whatever he knows. Or thinks he knows. ]
