City, I just feel like I have to tell you this, or I'll burst. [Tohru gives the screen a loving, happy look, like she's completely besotted. She is.]

Some days, it's just too strong to hold back on. But I feel so fortunate to have such a cute baby sister. Jinora is sweet and intelligent, and the best. And Korra is such an amazing hus-wife. [She looks confused.] Husband.

Partner! [Yeah, she'll just go with that.] I couldn't have possibly asked for anyone better.

[Action;]
[Of course, her family has a meal already prepared for them, a wonderful breakfast spread - even Lin and Miles have been included on the menu, even though she's not sure if they'll join, or what they prefer.]

[And there's a lunch waiting for Korra with a heart drawn on it.]

Jinora, Korra! Are you guys ready for breakfast? I don't want it to get cold.

[ Expression? What expression? He's perfectly sweet and well-meaning. Just look at the twinkle in his eye. ]

So when was the wedding, exactly?

I must have missed it.

[She goes to another room to make this conversation a little more private.

Not that she thinks to put, like, a filter up.]

A few months ago. You weren't invited.

[It's not intended to be harsh. It's just a fact. Why would she invite the guy she was having sex with to her wedding?]

[ He doesn't drop the charade. Part precaution (no filter, and a housemate is likely flitting around) -- part amusement. ]

Really? A few months?

You didn't mention it last time you were over.

[ re: about a week ago. Of course he's positive the curse has tampered with her memories about that. If it hasn't? Oh well. More entertainment. ]

Last time I was over, I wasn't married.

[After all this time, she shouldn't be blushing. It's not like...well. She shouldn't be blushing.]

I guess you weren't. I saw no ring.

[ Oh, blushing. He'll just, smile back. All kindly and benign. No agenda at all. Nope. ] Is everything okay? You seem, um, flushed.

Ring? [What does that have to do with anything?]

I'm fine!

[ Rings aren't de rigueur in her culture. Of course. ]

Well, congratulations. Tohru seems [ inhumanly perky ] like a nice girl. [ Like his surveillance hasn't already determined that. ]

[Nope. They do necklaces. ~~Don't tell Chekov that.~~]

Thanks.

[What's your game, Li?]

[ Dang, Korra. You just bring all the suitors to the yard, don'tcha? ]

So what's it like? Married life, I mean.

[ Game? What game? Can't two people shoot the breeze? Exchange well-wishes? ]

[Not when Li is one of them.]

Are we seriously having this conversation?

[ Perfect innocence. ]

Is there any reason we can't?

Because!

[It's weird. Talking to him makes her feel weird. He makes everything complicated, just by being near. She doesn't want complicated.

She wants simple. She wants Tohru.]

[ At least on the scale from one to laughing he is graciously at one. ]

I was just asking. [ Don't pitch a bitch. ] Did you at least sign a pre-nup? [ Dimly, he thinks it's a little unkind, mocking her this way. But it's a curse. What does it matter? ]

[It's not like her memories of this will be gone at the end of the curse. But, eh, he's done worse to her.]

My relationship with Tohru isn't any of your business.

[ Ouch. Defensive. Is wifey not putting out? ]

Someone's in a bad mood.

Am not!

[They've been too busy preparing to move for special funtimes. There may be a little pent up frustration.]

[ It's kind of obvious. She's prickly as a porcupine. Not that he'll say it. ]

Will you at least accept my congratulations? And a tray of mushroom quiche?

[ Because none of this is real, and oh, will you be embarrassed later. ]

{She's feeling pretty embarrassed now, for different reasons.]

Thank you. The...quiche [whatever that is] isn't necessary.

[ He's too disconnected to empathize with her embarrassment. Even if he can guess why it's there. ]

I'll let you get back to your wife, then. [ His expression is perfectly neutral. ] Have fun. While you can, anyway. [ Because this isn't real. ]

[While you can?] What's that supposed to mean?

It means what it means.

[ Let the curse run its course. She'll understand soon enough. ]

That's not an answer!

Grumpy.

I can already tell this is going to be your Married Look.

Only because I'm talking to you.

Stop talking, then.

[ Because this cheery domesticity is starting to twang on his nerves. ]

I'm sure Tohru's waiting with breakfast.
