[Korra nods polite greeting to the people he's sitting with, even as she fights down a flare of annoyance. Everything's getting under her skin tonight.]
I hope I didn't interrupt anything. I was just coming to get a drink.
[There's more than a hint of resentment in her voice, mingled with frustration and confusion. So he'll come to where she works without saying hello or goodbye or acknowledging her at all? Does not expecting romance mean she shouldn't also expect some basic courtesy? Is "Hey Korra" too much of a commitment?
The bartender slides over her drink and she gulps it down. She hates cranberry juice. She hates this music. She hates this bar, and the Underground, and this stupid secret relationship where Hei is the one making all the rules and he won't even tell them what they are until she's in trouble for breaking them.
(She hates herself a little, too, for not finding this easier. Controlling her temper, taking care of herself & her friends, navigating her relationship with Hei. Why can't she be more like Aang?]
