No, no!! [She flails.] It's nothing like that, at all. [Poor thing is blushing even worse. Part of it was just bashfulness, in the beginning, but now she's all out red-faced.]
[Korra, the pretty one? She knows she's attractive, but she's never thought of herself as "pretty." And certainly not the hottest thing on the dating market. Korra's more or less recovered from being dumped, but she's still 99.99999999% sure that she has no secret admirers hiding in the wings.]
Please. The only person who'd send me flowers is Chekov, and he would've left a note.
[She frowns, and taps her chin as she reconsiders the flowers.]
[The friend who is still stuck on:] Korra was seeing someone? Oh! I hope the marriage curse didn't confuse them! Some people actually thought that was real.
[THEN she realizes they're back on maybe it's for Tohru, so she waves her hands.] Nonono. That's not possible. It could still be that the person you were seeing had a change of heart? Maybe they were moved by the romantic feel of the month?
That's okay! I could go ask. [Tohru offered, not realizing she, in fact, worked for said vampire. She didn't know where Mister Valentine lived, after all. All the same, she wasn't afraid to approach.]

A secret admirer, then? A young man who longs to sweep you off your feet, if only you would let him?
action;
Besides, Korra is the pretty one. If they were to send flowers to anyone, it would be you!
action;
Please. The only person who'd send me flowers is Chekov, and he would've left a note.
[She frowns, and taps her chin as she reconsiders the flowers.]
Maybe they're for the Chief...?
action;
[But for her? No. They could never be for Tohru. She has no admirers, secret or otherwise.]
Unless Jinora already has an admirer. That could be possible, too. Or a besotted girl sent Miles some.
action;
She goes to poke her head up the steps.]
Hey Chief!
action;
Yes?

action;
No. Not anymore.
[It only stings a little.]
Besides, he wasn't exactly a flowers kind of guy.

[ Lin is becoming amused by this. She comes down the stairs. ]

[SIGNIFICANT LOOK at her friend]

I'd sooner believe they were meant for that creepy vampire dude and someone left them here by mistake.
[A small, petty part of her thinks He'd have to have a heart in the first place.]

[He's not as bad as Mr. Pervert Person, but he's still pretty high up on Korra's "People to Completely Avoid" list.]
action;
Perhaps we should put them in the freezer, and see if anyone asks after them.
Re: action;
action;
It's probably Chekov. I bet he just forgot to leave a card.
[She nods at Lin -- good idea, Chief -- and takes the tray to the freezer. But first she takes the non-frozen flower off the tray and sets it aside.
Sneeze.]
Maybe I'll take some orange juice after all.
action;
[A Korra's sneeze, Tohru looks worried, then nods her head and rushes off to get a glass of orange juice, without even a word.]
action;
[ Lin, there really isn't any need to get all motherly at them. She stands in the corner, out of the way, and stretches her arms. ]
action;
[She sniffles -- seriously, she better not be getting sick -- and take the orange juice from Tohru.]
Thanks.
