[ Hei intones from behind the turned-up flap of his coat collar, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, a one-man Greek chorus. It sounds impatient, but his voice and manner aren't lacking warmth. However there's a wry warning there, too: No need to traumatize our unfortunate guest. Fighting a crooked smile, he thumps Korra on the back. Dust motes float silently in the sun's rays above them. The day is already at its zenith. It will be dark enough for him to go outside to the Underground in another two hours. But if Korra stays, it'll be two hours well-wasted. ]
[ When Korra's caught her breath, Hei raises his eyebrows with a little eyeroll -- not at her, or a Pai. The message that pulses between them is simple. Relax. She's always like this.. ]
