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.

I hope you can get at least a pet, then. We have several!

[She tenses and goes a little pale at mention of the Underground.] Oh, no! I never go down there, either. That place is not meant for me.

I'll look into it. I keep forgetting whenever I come home from work. [ Because he's never home after work. A hot shower, a change of clothes, and he's off to either keep tabs on new territories or head for his safehouse in the Underground. ]

[ Speaking of, ]

...Did you ever go down there?

video;

[riceballfruit]

Well, I hope you can get one. They make life a lot better.

[She looks distraught at just remembering it.] Just once. It was a mistake!

video;

[mortemscintilla]

I'm sure they do. [ That, or they're loud, useless, and shit all over your carpet. ]

... What, um, caused you to head down there? It's such a dangerous place.

[She looks very sheepish.]

A friend of mine was telling me about it. I must have misunderstood him. So I want job hunting down there.

video;

[mortemscintilla]

I see. I guess the job-hunt didn't work out, huh?

video;

[riceballfruit]

No. I still ended up with two jobs, but not down there.

video;

[mortemscintilla]

It's probably just as well.

I hear there are a lot of vampires and shady people there.

video;

[riceballfruit]

[She nods.] And monsters. Korra saved me from one!

video;

[mortemscintilla]

She did, huh? Well, she is a great fighter.

And [ gulp ] scary when she wants to be.

[riceballfruit]

[Tohru shakes her head in disagreement, but her tone and expression are both soft.] I don't think she's scary. She's wonderful! The most amazing person I've ever met!

video;

[mortemscintilla]

You really seem to care about her.

[ So much love in the air. ]

[ It's disgusting. ]

video;

[riceballfruit]

[Tohru doesn't think it is.]

I do! And more than that, I am in awe of her.

video;

[mortemscintilla]

She's a pretty awe-inspiring person.

[ When she's not pitching fits or screeching like a banshee or making bizarro faces, anyway. ]

video;

[riceballfruit]

Yes, she is! [Tohru has yet to see all of that, but she still likes everything she has witnessed.]

video;

[mortemscintilla]

[ You don't witness that side every five minutes unless you Live The Life Of Li. ]

But I'm sure she feels that way about you too, Miss Tohru. It's a two-way street, after all.

[riceballfruit]

[Blush.]

Y-yes, if she married me, I suppose so. I don't know how she would see that in me, though. I'm not good at fighting, but I'll do my best to keep her fed and protect her, in other ways.

video;

[mortemscintilla]

[ His smile is gentle, ]

Sometimes those other ways are more important than being able to fight. Everyone needs a safe place to come home to, after all.

[riceballfruit]

You're right!

I will make sure Korra has the best, safe home to return to at the end of the day!
