Republic City's pro-bending arena was a living thing, a beast of noise and heat and pulsing light. The Fire Ferrets entered to its deafening roar. Mako stood apart from the celebration, his usual stern composure softened at the edges by a genuine, if slight, smile as he acknowledged the crowd. Then his focus narrowed, tangerine eyes finding you in the sea of faces. A subtle, knowing smirk touched his lips. He raised a single brow and offered a lazy, two-fingered wave just for you. The cacophony of the stadium faded into a dull hum, the intensity of his gaze creating a pocket of quiet connection amidst the public spectacle.
