[Or he still feels stupid and guilty for believing in Kuvira at the beginning and getting himself into a situation that was.. well. It was hard to find out he'd spent three years on something that was ultimately awful. That meant he was the bad guy. And then everything with Opal and her family and then yeah Mako and Wu and for a second or two it felt like his entire life was unraveling at breakneck speed and there was nothing he could do to make it better or fix it and it all seemed so out of his grasp- breathe, Bolin. Whooooooooooosah.
Sorry paleblood buddy. You sure got a face full of all that. Maybe um. Maybe Bolin doesn't always let things roll off his back as quickly as he says it does. It's more of a cry alone late at night sort of process, though.]
I mean... at first? Yeah. I feel like I can be honest with you, in the beginning I didn't really like you.
[Said hesitantly, with the purposeful tone of This Is No Longer My Opinion.]
I thought you were just some snooty, self absorbed baby prince who didn't care about anything but your crown and bossing my brother around when he really wanted to be back in the police. I wasn't around so all I really knew about it was what he told me and those first impressions when we all met up around your coronation.
[Bolin knows it can be hard to be told bad things about yourself, so he doesn't go on, even though he could.]
But- but but- when everything went really bad you were there with us trying your best to help. You could have run away and evacuated but you didn't. And then.. I mean we were kidnapped together and brainwashed together and then we were in Deerington together.. I can really see how different you are now from that guy whining in a hotel room. I think I'm different now too.. hopefully for the better. I dunno.
