[ This makes two people who have altered dramatically since they left the City. ]
[ Hei blinks as Chekov swivels to open fire on Ghazan and Ming Hua. Somewhere along the line, the boy's shed the hinkiness that seemed to claim him everytime he tripped and fell into a disaster-zone, and picked up the confidence he needs, which appears composed at least as much of his training as of his ability to fix on the pulsepoints of a crisis and take it apart with the same incisive quickness he handles machinery. ]
[ The phaser packs a nasty punch. Hei realizes, watching the laser slice through the air, that he's forgotten the neat effectiveness of firearms -- especially after a year in Korra's world. Ming Hua dodges the blast like a skittering spider. Ghazan, bloody and disoriented by Hei's earlier attack, is less lucky. ]
[ Hei watches him go down -- before he makes his move. A year ago, this would've meant leaving Pavel to fend for himself, and rejoining the conflict. Possibly stealing his phaser, to give himself an edge. Instead, he assumes the rearguard position. Lets Pavel cover his exposed flank, while he deals with the scurrying shape of Ming Hua, her water-tentacles like a whip-scorpion's legs, lashing at him with brutal speed. Hei dodges, a quick one-two-three, then lets fly a wire, aiming to snag one of her legs and bring her down with a sizzling blue volt. ]
[ He has questions to ask Pavel. He has concerns about Korra's safety. But it'll have to wait. No sense getting distracted. ]
