Hi! You've reached Korra! Umm, I think this is recording? Maybe? If you can hear me you're supposed to...

[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-

BEEP

[ Rather than answering that first part with words, Mako sends a picture: a strangely-angled selfie of herself, hair messy and pulled back into a loose ponytail, looking sulkily at the camera. ]

Awkward's one word for it. He keeps trying to hold doors open for me. He called me 'the bearcat's pajamas'. Seriously.

[Her first reaction is a sudden burst of laughter, out of sheer surprise if nothing else. But then she shakes her head, reading over his...her words carefully.]

Ugh, I was hoping it wasn't Wu, but that really sounds like Wu. And I've gone so long without wanting to throw anything at him, too.

But hey, welcome to the world of being a woman, where suddenly if you have extra chest you can't do simple tasks and people talk down to you like you're the "little lady."

[There's a break between those and the last.]

Sorry about the bitter sarcasm. Being the Avatar was precisely zero insulation from some people.

[arclightning]

It's Wu. Of course it's Wu! He thinks because I'm a girl that he has to try and hold my stuff and hold doors for me. Wu. Wu thinks that.

You'd think once you showed them how good you were at punching they'd've left you alone.

[avatar_state]

Uuuuuuuuuuuugh. Wonderful.

And remember Tarrlock? The answers there are "you'd think" and "but no."

[arclightning]

So then what do I tell him to get him to stop? Since punching isn't an option.

I don't want to remember Tarrlok. What an asshole.

[avatar_state]

Best chance is to sit him down and explain it's not ok and insulting to you.

If that doesn't work, maybe throw him into the nearest pool? :P

[arclightning]

I might skip right to the pool thing. It's so bad. People weren't like this very much at home. I think I scard them too much.

[avatar_state]

Well, either way, hopefully he gets the message. I'd rather he demonstrate a learning curve than just keep getting wet.
