Heyyy, what's happenin'? You've reached the voicemail of one very fine-lookin' man. Wanna chat? Fanboy all over my mad skillz? Declare your undying love for me? You know what to do. [BEEEEP]
[It's clear by the tone in his voice that he's struggling to sound disapproving and failing miserably. Not because he believes Korra deserved to get smacked, but because his little girl is quite the spitfire. It's hard to get mad at her for showing such a brazen attitude.]
I guess I'll just have to go along with it, then. Don't want her to beat me up too, after all.
Heh. Yeah, that's my girl. She's a little spitfire, that one.
[Wade's shoulders rise and fall in a heavy sigh.]
So I guess I should stop worryin' so much about what's gonna happen to her over here, huh? Seems like she's comin' over whether I like it or not. I mean-- not that I'm not happy to have her here, but...
[He trails off. The memory of what had happened to her the last time she'd visited them is still all too fresh in his mind. In almost every instance, all the pain and torture she had gone through had been because of them. He doesn't know if he can survive any more of her being punished for fraternizing with them.]
Yeah...I don't think we can stop her from staying here.
[She can see him going distant, like he's got something else on his mind. Given who they're talking about, though, Korra can make a guess. He's worried about Jessica, and she can't blame him after hearing about the way she died.
If something happens to her now, there's no guarantee that they can bring her back with some magic ritual again.]
All we can do is keep an eye on her, make sure she's safe.

[Korra just grins, because Wade seems to get it after that.]
You probably should just listen. Who knows what other tricks she’s hiding, just waiting to use on people who don’t listen to her.
no subject
S-Sorry, sorry-- I just... I can't believe she hit you in the face! Got real brass, that one.
Don't worry. I'll do my best not to piss her off. I mean, savin' her twice has gotta account for something, right?
no subject
Yeah, no kidding. I wasn't expecting it either. I can see why you like her so much, though. She didn't want anyone to be left behind.
