[ The wave of feeling crashes through him and Wu shudders, swallowing hard. He can deal with this. This is the point. Clear the air. Bolin's feelings are important, and they're wrapped up in everything with Kuvira and how awful it was for both of them. He takes a deep breath, letting the feelings wash out of him, which he has to do. He can't internalize them, it hurts too much to do that.
It's rough to hear what Bolin thought about him, but... well. He's not wrong. He's not wrong at all. ]
At the beginning, I didn't like you either. But it wasn't about you, not ever.
[ He laughs a little, shaking his head. ]
That was me at my worst. I, I wasn't in a great place. It's not an excuse! But...
[ It's an understatement, but the idea of taking the throne, of having his simple life of hanging out with Mako in Republic City interrupted by having to take the throne... it was a lot.
He reaches out to grip Bolin's wrist with a little smile ]
I think we both are. Kuvira did a number on us. And I was never cut out to be a king! I much prefer this.
[ He waves a hand at the Raccoon Room at large ]
Good. Good! I'm glad. I was just thinking that we never really, never put that to bed. And then you showed up in Deerington and I had just died and was dating your brother. I just, yeah. Want to make sure we're good?
