[candothat]

Yes, of course, I'll walk through crowds of angry dissidents and violent guards to keep you company.

[...]

I might do that. Work is closed and talking to myself is boring.

[anatural]

Is it really that bad out there?

[Korra hasn't been allowed to leave the Beach House, and she's still working hard enough at healing that she hasn't really wanted to. She knows very little about what's going on in the City.]

[candothat]

Yes, it is. Now the group that opposes the deities is attacking those of us who have yet to join them, and this along with the City guards. I think I may try to help.

[anatural]

What? No! Chekov, you can't! [YOU'RE JUST A DELICATE BABY.]

[candothat]

Why not? I am a soldier.

[anatural]

You're not a soldier. [Not like any she's ever known, anyway.] You're a scientist! You know things! You can't fight people!

[candothat]

[So maybe not all of Starfleet's geniuses end up fighting up close and personal, and maybe the science-inclined tend to get stuck on the bridge or in the transporter room when things get ugly on away missions. TECHNICALITIES.]

I could fight. I was trained.

[anatural]

Barely. In a real fight, you'd be dead in a second.

[candothat]

Perhaps I should go find a fight and prove you wrong.

[Allow him to take a moment and realize that this is the opposite of being mature. But seriously, Korra just called him out.]

I won't, but only because that would be stupid.

[anatural]

SERIOUSLY stupid. Don't you even dare.

[candothat]

[POUTING NOW]

Someday, I will prove to you that I'm capable, but for now, I'm coming over to see you. I'm bored, too.

[anatural]

I never said you weren't capable -- [She huffs, but doesn't try to fight him about it since he's coming over.]

Be careful.

[candothat]

[Yes, let's drop that topic. Chekov and his wounded teenage pride will not be placated.]

I am always careful. Is there anything you need?

[anatural]

Just somebody to entertain me.

[candothat]

You would be less bored if you took up reading.

[He loves hanging out with her. Teasing is a kind of caring.]

[anatural]

Reading IS boring.

[candothat]

Not if you do it correctly.

Does anyone else visit you? [Like Hei.]

[anatural]

Pretty much everyone I know lives with me. [aka no, Hei has been making himself scarce recently.]

[candothat]

Everyone? You haven't even seen mutual acquaintances of ours?

[anatural]

Why? [She feels like she's being interrogated.]

[candothat]

No reason. [Oh yes, reason.] I will see you soon?

[anatural]

I'll be here. [Mr. Sneaky McJudgerson.]
