First time

[when the console clicks on, it doesn't look like the guy messing with it really expected it to. He was pressing buttons, finding out what the options where. his experience with cameras is also very, very limited. He presses the button again, and it switches off and to text.]

i'm new around here. not sure who this goes out to, but can someone tell me where i can find a news paper, or a job listings page? i'd appreciate it.

[there's a long, long pause, before he decides to add something else, this time switching it to video again. He seems to have figured out the camera, though he's still giving the camera a mostly apprehensive look]

Also, who checks these things? Do they go out to the whole city?

[a sigh, a bit annoyed, whether with the situation or his lack of understanding on what's going on with this form of mass communication is anyone's guess]

I'm Mako, if there's anyone listening.

[A good possibility that had never even crossed Korra's mind.]

Well Stark Industries is in the Fire Sector. I think Wayne Enterprises is in the Earth Sector, but you can always ask him on the network.

[Korra had never met him, but she had sent Tony a message when she first met him, so why not the same with Bruce.]

[EVENTUALLY, it'll occur to him. Eventually. But right now, there are more pressing things than pro-bending being a sport or not. He nods.]

I'll find them, and ask. Can't hurt.

[it would be easier if there were job listings, but sometimes, asking is what you had to do.]

Good. For Stark you should look for Pepper Potts on the network, she’s really nice and helpful.

[And patient considering who her boss was.]

Either way, let me know when you get one. Then I can take you to this tea shop in the Fire Sector, they have great tea and a good menu even though it’s kinda high class.

High class?

[he looks kind of unsure, at that. He knows, for sure, that he does not have the clothes for that, and it seemed kind of strange for Korra to pick out a high class restaurant. He expected that from Asami, she was used to it.

Still, he doesn't write off the suggestion entirely, though he does want to know where it came from]

You sure? I'm okay with something like Narook's.

[All Korra had was the dress from Tarrlok’s gala, and even then she would have worn her usual clothes.]

It was recommended to me by one of the other foreigners, she was really nice, so I thought why not give it a shot.

[She shrugged, her head tilted against her raised shoulder.]

There’s a couple of places like that. Actually, there’s this outdoor café that serves good food and

[She leans in to Mako, her hand by her mouth as if she was revealing a secret.]

I can get us hot chocolate with whipped cream.

[With a smirk, she waggled eyebrows and winked.]

[It takes him a moment-- hold please. But the unconscious reaction is almost instantaneous. His eyes widen, and he leans back just a smidge as her meaning takes time to process. But, oh, on a base level, he gets it. And if that wasn't her meaning, he still gets it. But there was little doubt about what she meant exactly, and he knew it.

He finally processes that enough to have a conscious reaction.]

Oh, yeah?

[He raises an eyebrow at her, attention all on her. Even the seriousness from a couple of moments ago is dropped entirely.]

That doesn't sound half bad.

[She was so glad he understood the importance of that statement.]

Yeah, it’s the best! I only just started being able to order whipped cream, and now I get it for free every time I stop by from fishing. I don’t why it’s scarce in Keeliai, but it’s sooooo good on that chocolate. Even in Summer.

[A content smile on her face at the thought, Korra reached over and grabbed his arm.]

Come on, let’s go get you on that console and get you some work!

[... Korra, what even. Of course she meant that in the literal sense. Why was he expecting any different. But, seriously.

What was that? The wink, the smirk? THE EYEBROW WAGGLE? He could facepalm. He was extremely tempted to, but he settles for a sigh-- though he tries to keep some of the disappointment out of it.]

It's rare here, huh? I had no clue.
