[filtering? He knows, theoretically how to do that. But it'll take a few times of the wrong person seeing the post before it clicks that that's really a thing you should do.

Hey, I'm looking for someone named Jack.

[Also. How common could that name be? It was weird as hell.]

Yeah, I live in Wood. Do I get to know what this is about?

[browbeater]

Yeah, it's got to do with Korra. She and I aren't exactly talking right now.

[Except to yell insults at each other.]

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

When I advertised that I deliver things in the city, that's... not exactly what I meant.

[browbeater]

Uh, no, I just want to talk to you. You might meeting me at the park next to the suites?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

[ Despite what Korra said, it does sound like something? needs to be clarified if only because Jack feels very in the dark here. ]

Yeah, I'll be there shortly.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[wintershepherd]

[ Sure enough, about ten minutes later Jack will be waiting in the park, kicking up a few puffs of flurries with his staff and letting them melt again. There's a petite faerie nestled in the material of his hoodie, of which he seems to be in mid-conversation with. ]

[browbeater]

[He approaches the park, his hands firmly in his pockets. He's still mad, but he had to know what happened with this kiss that Korra mentioned, or if it even actually happened. The fight had really gotten out of hand by the time he found out, that he didn't know what was out of spite, and what was actually true.]

Hey. Jack, right?

[wintershepherd]

That's me. [ A chirp from the faerie and Jack can't be rude enough not to introduce her as well. ] And this is Baby Tooth.

What's up?

[browbeater]

[he gets distracted by Baby Tooth for just a moment, but only a moment. He had to focus.]

Korra's my girlfriend, and we just had a fight. And during it she said she kissed you, so I'm trying to find out what happened.

[0% sense of irony about him and Asami right now.]

I would've asked her, but I'm positive that she was trying to piss me off more at that point.

[wintershepherd]

[ Jack nods in understanding as Mako identifies himself. He doesn't seem troubled by it being brought up, as though he has nothing to hide and he answers readily enough. ]

Ah, that.

Well, she did kiss me but that was because of a mistake on my part, not hers. I suppose I should have found you earlier and explained it all but with the whole thing in Sinbrilee...

[browbeater]

Well, I'm here now.

[what does he mean mistake? What mistake causes someone to kiss someone else?]

What happened?

[wintershepherd]

I was running some errands for her and I might-- not have made it clear that kissing wasn't an acceptable method of payment. Or maybe implied it, who knows. What can I say? She's pretty.

I'm sorry Jack, this isn't anything. I can handle it, don't do anything, okay?

[She cannot apologize enough for this. But she'll try.]

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[wintershepherd]

Uhh...

[ He's so confused. Does he show up or not, he thinks. ]

[alphatar]

That's Mako, he and I had a big fight and everything's just-

[A disaster.]

complicated.

[That word was getting used a lot. She bites her lower lip and winces.]

Sorry.

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[wintershepherd]

Ahhh... it's okay then. You don't need to apologize.

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[alphatar]

He's just blowing off steam, don't listen to anything he says.

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[wintershepherd]

Can't hurt to hear what he wants and make that decision from there.

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[alphatar]

[She couldn’t make Jack do anything, so she just thinned her lips worriedly and nodded.]

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[wintershepherd]

It'll be fine, Korra. You still trust me, right?

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[alphatar]

Of course I do. [He had helped her when she needed it most, the question was rhetorical to her but felt compelled to answer anyway.] Just,

-I’m sorry.

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[wintershepherd]

[ It hadn't been rhetorical for him. ]

All right. So I'll take care of things.

video; 100% Starkryption

[alphatar]

…Okay. Whatever happens- I mean if you don’t want to talk to me anymore, I’ll understand.

[She was sure Mako was going to bring something up she didn’t mean to yell at him with, and she couldn’t even remember half of the things they dredged up to throw at each other.]

Re: video; 100% Starkryption

[wintershepherd]

That won't happen, Korra.
