She's barely done being a child herself.

[ So, for that matter, is Pavel. But Hei knows he couldn't attempt the same unfussy ease with which the younger man lifts that impossibly tiny form away from Korra. Pavel likes kids. More importantly, he's good with them. Hei, on the other hand, wouldn't know where to start. He's not built for that sort of delicacy and patience -- not without reason. With a cool eye, he catalogues the baby's face, trying to figure out what he got from Hei and what he got from Pavel. But he dismisses it five seconds later. It's useless when babies are so round and still-forming. ]

[ Letting Pavel handle the (unenviable) task of putting Dimitri away, he busies himself with unloading the groceries. A final item -- almost a concession that he's not completely indifferent to the kid -- is a toy. ]
