[The sound of rustling paper, a note being picked up and read from.]

Leave a brief message after the beep. Wait, do I do the beep or does i-

I've been hurt worse.

[Said in a way that clearly indicates she's not keen to talk about it. But it's also not a lie.]

[endoftheverse]

I know that feeling.

[Said with all of the relatability in the fucking world, Korra.

He wishes the hurting would stop for a second, so he could recharge his batteries.]

... Alright. As long as you've got people to take care of you.

[avatar_state]

I do.

...What about you?

[endoftheverse]

[Forgive the pause, as he blinks his surprise off-screen.]

Me?

[avatar_state]

People. To take care of you.

[He seems a bit slower on the uptake, but that's understandable after everything.]

[endoftheverse]

I — Yeah. Yeah, I do.

[He sounds a little stunned by the realization, honestly.

He hasn't had people to take care of him in... years?

Feels like a lifetime ago, after being in the dark so long.]

I have people.

[avatar_state]

[There is a slight relaxation.]

Good. That's good.
