there it is. mako is always checking to make sure that they’re both okay, specifically bolin. mako has always looked out for bolin, so the question was coming soon. he didn’t leave the place untouched, but bolin wasn’t nearly in the same pain as mako. mako was destroyed by what happened, and bolin just had some scratches that would otherwise be completely fine. he was fine. he knew that. but mako was just doing what he does best — worrying and overthinking about bolin.   ❝ don’t worry — i’m fine, i’m getting checked out. ❞  bolin promised him. nodding his head.  ❝  you’re the one that got hurt badly. not me.  ❞

   it’s  bad.  zolt’s  temper  is  far  worse  than  noi  thought,  and  there’s  flashes  of  what  follows.  at   least  he  didn’t  burn  mako,  but  the  entire  time  noi  stands  there  petrified.  she  knows  better  than  to  get  involved,  but  she  follows  him  downstairs.   they  shouldn’t  have  to  go  through  this.  it’s  unfair.   she   doesn’t  know  what  to  say,  not  until  she  hears  the  water  run  does  she  manage  to  get  anything  out.     “ that  —  that  was  bad. ”   noi   struggles  to  say.  duh   it  obviously   was   bad. “ i  mean  —  are  you  okay ?  ”
