[ Hei wants to cut the bonhomie bullshit. Chekov is clearly suspicious. Korra's high-strung chatter isn't helping. She's either very bad at lying or very afraid of the consequences. Probably both. He glances between her and Chekov as she starts leading him away. Tch. So obvious. ]
[ Pavel isn't an idiot. Subtle probing, a few choice words, and Korra's shallow bowl of excuses will run dry. He needs to deal with Chekov before that occurs. Just not through blatant force. ]
Leaving already? [ He affects a disappointed but convincing sigh. ] Well, if that's what you want. It would've been fun to hang out in the forest a bit. [ Naga growls, and he feigns a nervous little twitch. But his mind is elsewhere -- running through different scenarios. He can shadow the trio at a safe distance. Wait until Chekov is alone. ]
