Come cook with Li, Bolin >:3

[ He accepts the Jerk in good part (It's true). Leaning against the wall, arms folded, it takes only a moment for his energy -- discomfort, wariness, doubt -- to settle into a convincing flatline of calm. Quietly, he takes Korra in, the way he couldn't over the Network device previously. She's not wavery and overwrought, like she was during her last visit here. But despite her smile, a throbbing anxiety practically ripples the sunlit air around her. ]

[ He would ask, except it's not his business. As he established earlier, this isn't an assignment; she isn't a mark. He can afford to give her some space, something quiet and easy and pressure-free, even if BK201 rarely operates in that mode without purpose. ]


Does it matter? [ It's a dismissive reply. He's not particularly concerned with lizard's name, as long as it's well-fed and combats the ticking. Other than a pet cat he and Pai had as children (white, Persian, a dark heartshaped mark on its nose) and a few tragedies with goldfish, he's never given pets any thought. ]

[ They symbolize Domesticity and Permanence, and Hei doesn't function that way anymore. ]
