[anatural]

[Well that certainly distracts her from her irritation.]

Why were you looking for your momma?

[candothat]

I was considerably younger than usual and thought that I was supposed to be in Petersburg with my parents.

What is it that you need help with, Korra?

[anatural]

Awww, widdle baby Chekov. I'm sorry I missed it.

[candothat]

[There's some indignant huffing on Chekov's end.]

I'm not. Do you want my help or should I go?

[anatural]

What are you so pissy for? [This is unlike her normally good natured friend. She's not sure if she's more irritated or concerned.]

[candothat]

I'm not--

[No, he kind of is. Chekov sighs and tries again.]

Sorry. I behaved embarrassingly when I was cursed.

[anatural]

[She's smiling sympathetically.] You're probably not the only one.

[candothat]

No, I'm not, I'm sure. Sorry I did not reply sooner.

[anatural]

It's okay. [With a half-groan, half-sigh, Korra buries her head in her pillow.] I don't think it would've helped anyway.

[candothat]

Were you also cursed?

[anatural]

Not like that. [grrrr] I was trying to get the library to work.

[candothat]

What are you looking f--oh! Korra, there's something that I need to tell you, but I would rather not say anything over the network.

[anatural]

What? [sorry, your abrupt change of subject has kind of thrown her]

[candothat]

Sorry, sorry. Go back to what you were saying?

[anatural]

[You can't just throw her off her game and then not tell her what you wanted to tell her!]

Come on, what did you want to tell me?

private;

[candothat]

[Was "I'd rather not tell you this over the network" confusing, Korra? Buuut he caves easily.]

Only to be careful, especially near the library. Someone dangerous is working there.

private;

[anatural]

You're gonna have to do better than that, Chekov.

[But. He did say he wasn't comfortable with this over the network.]

Do you want to come over?

private;

[candothat]

I do, if you wouldn't mind.

[He meant to avoid telling Korra about Khan altogether, as giving her warnings to stay away from someone is a lot like inviting her to go chat with them. But maybe keeping her informed is the right thing to do...]

private;

[anatural]

You know where I live. [Open invitation to come over]

private;

[candothat]

This is true.

[Don't mind him, he'll just swing by that evening. He brings Everett along with him. Surely the dog gets lonely, too.]

action;

[anatural]

[It's still a little hot out for Korra's tastes, so she's hanging outside with Naga, enjoying the sea breeze. She waves at Chekov when she sees him and Everett approach.]

action;

[candothat]

Korra--hello. Hello, Naga.

[He gives Korra a wave and Naga a hug. Everett paces indecisively some ways away, not keen on getting too close to Naga.]

action;

[anatural]

Hey Chekov. C'mere, Everett. [She gestures for the other dog to come closer so she can pet him.]


So. What were you so scared to tell me over the network?

action;

[candothat]

[Everett slinks over to Korra. Naga is seriously scary, okay.]

I wasn't scared. [And he's not looking over his shoulder to make sure no one's lurking, shhh.] I was hesitant to tell you that there is a war criminal from home here where someone might hear.

[anatural]

[Naga just thumps her tail lazily. She has no interesting in trolling you, cousin. You have nothing to fear.]

A war criminal?
