Korra stops breathing when he pauses, dreading the next word. Her breath comes out in a rush when it's just something about her eyes, and she sags in relief. She doesn't want him to love her. Love is complication and pain and they've already got more than enough of that just liking each other. Love needs to stay far, far away from this.
But it's already encroaching. There's something ominous about the fact that he used the word "love" at all, even if it's just about her eyes. More ominous still, the twinge of disappointment buried under her relief. Love brews like a revolution, but Korra doesn't know how to fight it. There aren't any Equalists to punch, no false leaders to unmask.
How do you fight a feeling? The last time she tried, she ended up naked on the floor of a shed with him. That's not something she particularly wants to repeat.
She wants to shower, but Hei's drifted off and it's such a rare thing that Korra hates to disturb him. She'd sleep, but the fact that he can is yet another troubling sign.
