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]
[More silence. If Korra listens closely, she might be able to hear the sound of deep, steadying breaths as he struggles to keep his repose.]
Thank god. No more hooks. I tell ya, my clothing was taking a beating every time she decided to latch on to me. Spandex can only take so much abuse, y'know.
[His tone is too obviously flippant, as if he's overcompensating in trying to hide his sudden surge of emotion.]
Ah... [His voice is dismissive.] She's always gettin' herself in trouble. Ever since I met her I've had to go through this huge rigamarole of tryin' to keep her safe. It's kind of a pain in the ass sometimes, really.
[In other words, yes. He does care about her. A whole lot.]
Heh. I, uh... don't know I've got control over when I talk to her, unfortunately. The guy she's livin' with now took away her only means of bein' able to reach me.
[He's still kind of burned about that, to be honest. After all, it's not like he'd give away the phone she gave to him.]
That's him, yeah. I tried to get in contact with him on Jess's phone-- the one she gave me. Guess he wasn't too happy that one of the captives had access to her at any time, 'cause the last time I saw her she said he'd taken it away from her.
...Which sucks right now, because I kinda wanna hear from her, y'know?

She asked about you when she showed up. Said you’re her hero. You really care about her, don’t you?
no subject
[In other words, yes. He does care about her. A whole lot.]
no subject
[Yep, just as she suspected.]
I don't know where she is now, but...you should talk to her when you get the chance. She probably wants to see you.

Who is she even staying with now anyway? Beast boy said her brother was taken…so you’re talking about someone else, right?

From what's I've heard, Stefan's doesn't really want much to do with us, so I guess I'm not too surprised.
At least you know she's safe now? We'll find a way for you to talk to her. I'll even help you look.
no subject
[He just wants to see her, whole and alive, with his own eyes.]
...Thanks for the support, Korra.
no subject
[A pause.]
I'm glad you're okay, too. Not just her.
no subject
[He's obviously playing off the fact that he's secretly touched at Korra's concern.]
But, uh... thanks for that too.
no subject
You know, you should probably call Beast Boy. I think he was pretty worried about you, too.
[and, more softly: ]
I'll see you around.
no subject
...See ya.
[There's a hint of a shy, grateful smile in his voice before he hangs up.]
