[ He's here to return equipment he's borrowed from Pavel -- a precision-centering adapter and accessory tray for the telescope. At least, on the surface. In truth Hei's aim is to replace a short-circuited bug he'd fitted earlier in Pavel's residence. Quiet, quick and unobtrusive. In theory, anyway. Unlike Korra's house, full of open spaces and cheerful luddites, Pavel's residence makes for trickier terrain. Narrower rooms mean figuring out more ingenious spots to conceal bugs in. Additionally, Pavel's from a world twice as advanced as Hei's. That means being doubly cautious with the choice of equipment and location. ]

You must be going either soft or crazy. If he'd started giving everyone the benefit of the doubt back home, he'd be a dead man by now.) ]
[ At the door of Pavel's place, Hei stops. Dressed as 'Li' in a baggy buttondown shirt and scuffed jeans, a knapsack slung from his shoulder, he readjusts his grip around a heavy pot brimming with wild-mushroom stroganoff. (No reason to show up empty-handed.) ]
