[ The particulars of Korra's life have already been etched into Hei's mind, each fact as luminous as neon stars burning in the darkness. Her parents. Her friends. Her relatives. Her pet. ]
[ If he can help it, he'd kill the mutt and be done with it. But that's not part of the plan. Korra conjures up a flame, but Hei is too deeply immersed in the treeline to be seen. His dark clothes blend into the gloom, his breathing steady, controlled. Naga may be able to sniff him out. But that's what he's counting on. Perched flat on a dense branch, obscured by lush foliage, he raises a tiny cylinder to his lips. And blows. Though the night stays quiet, he imagines the shrill ultrasonic tone. ]
[ Naga will hear it, though. Hei doubts the animal has been trained to ignore its appeal. Naga may be a bodyguard. But she's no professional attack dog. For one thing, she growls. Noises like that are useless for protection. They alert an attacker and give him a chance to defend himself. ]
[ Right now, Naga is about as useful as the generic burglar alarm. And those can be silenced. All too easily. ]
