I am now. It's hard to say. [She draws small circles on the table with her fingertip.] He actually showed up here a couple months ago, and it was a little awkward. There're just more important things to think about.
[Her eyes flicker up at Bolin.] —Don't worry, if he's gone from here, that probably means he's at home.
I'm not worried about that. I know Mako's home. [The alternative is unthinkable, so Bolin doesn't think about it.]
And I'm sorry he's an idiot. Don't get me wrong -- I love him, and he's the best big brother a guy could ask for -- but he is a big, monkey feathered idiot for dumping you. [Even if it's for Korra, who Bolin still thinks is the most amazing girl in any world.]
I know we don't know each other that well.....or, well, I don't know you that well but I guess you know me pretty well which is kind of creepy if you think about it but not your fault and I am babbling like an idiot. [DEEP BREATH] The point is, you're awesome, and my brother's a dumbo.
[She isn't expecting this, for some reason, especially given where Bolin is coming from. It makes her smile humbly.]
Thanks, Bolin... [But she doesn't want to give him the impression she's weaker because of it, so she forces a wider smirk and the quirk of an eyebrow after few seconds of silence.] It's been a while since it happened, though. Besides, you've been through one breakup, you've been through them all, right?
[Bolin doesn't think so -- he's given a few girls his heart and each one handed it back to him in differently shaped pieces. But if that's how Asami's handling it, he's not going to poke at it.]
I guess.
[If you can't change a shitty situation, you might as well be cheerful about it.]
You know what we need? Pudding. Do you know any place that makes eight treasure pudding around here?
[Asami grins and mock-courtsies for Bolin as she stands.]
We shall, we shall! [She squeezes his shoulder, and not the kind that demands information about his big brother but the really nice kind, as she begins to head for the door.]

Maybe she can actually talk about these things later.]
