[ Hei's grown altogether too comfortable with segueing into different skins, different costumes, different identities. Clothes may make the man -- or woman -- but only ostensibly. The dress was more to help Korra blend into one end of the spectrum -- the club's ambience if not its vibe. He thinks it's a pity she doesn't flaunt what she's got; but then, Korra's never needed to gild the lily by dressing up, in his opinion. ]
[ He asks for a plain bottled water, and in a minute the order slides their way. Knocking back his drink, Hei scans the room. Everything seems all shined up. Lots of chrome and glass and glitter. The entire world looks as if it's been wiped down by a paper towel and a bottle of Armor All. Adjacent to them, a group of tweenies -- somewhere between his and Korra's age -- are digging into a platter of chocolate funnel cakes. A few are inhaling stogies; he can smell the cannabis mixed up with the smoke. Loud and obnoxious jokes; sober X hangover patches on every other arm, beers at hand. Meaningless mayhem seems on the horizon. ]
[ One of the girls, catching Hei's stare, smiles and extends the platter his and Korra's way. ] Heyyy, you guys wanna try these?
