[Not dying was very surprising. That Korra was the reason for the lack of dying... that's not something he can explain rationally, but emotional attachments encourage people to do illogical things. Chekov doesn't dwell on it; while Hei and Korra are talking, he's busy catching his breath and digging Plan C out of his sleeve. He shouldn't have put it up his left sleeve. Retrieving it with three broken fingers hurts like hell.
And then Hei is coming for him. Pavel transfers a small silver box--a remote trigger that he rigged should he have an opportunity to reveal Hei's identity without dying--to his left hand. All of his previous confidence is gone, replaced with desperation.]
