[ The dynamic of their usual relationship is now exaggerated. Her with bare rudiments of info, poking and prodding. Him with an entire library of secrets, and no inclination to open the gates and share. He doesn't know how she's knitting his torn flesh back together. The idea of qi doesn't even occur to him. Hei has an aptitude for math and physics, but it's in people that his expertise lies -- in gauging weaknesses and wants. There's so much mysterious phenomenon in his homeworld, but he shelves that into the still-uncharted sphere of science. Korra's world is similar, but different too. It's based on mysticism and magic. ]

But if not for the healing, Hei suspects that not-rightness would've been with him for awhile. (Not that anyone would be able to tell with 'Li'. That scarecrow is always hunched over like a poster-child for lousy posture.) ]
Especially when it's 'stuff' other people are better off not knowing.
[ The corners of his lips quirk the slightest bit. It's a dry tease, meant to keep things offhand and interesting as if they're friends on their way to grab muffins and a latte, even if he has no intention of sticking around once she's finished patching him up. ]
