-ey! What the heck--?! [And more garbled noises. it sounds moist over there.] Stupid communicator.. [Durn thing went and splashed her right in the face! She clears her throat in any case, apparently done wiping her mug clean.]
I have a.. hypothetical question for um. The men. Hypothetically speaking. Hypoth-- How do you know when someone likes you?

"Uhuh."
[Jet muses with a raised eyebrow. He hasn't actually intended to say anything- much as he is WELL-versed in this topic. It seems someone hasn't quite caught on to the concept of knowing when he's started a transmission]

... Got any insight for me?

[A reply to him. Well- Fffff-]
[Not that he can't cover up his surprise suavely]
"I might, yeah~"
[smooth, Jet.]
"Didn't think you'd want to hear it from me,"
[A tentative pause just in case she changes her mind and jumps at his throat.]
"People aren't that hard to figure out. It's when you over analyze that things get kind of crazy. The question you really need to be asking, 'hypothetically,' is if being obvious is something that might push the other away or not."
[There. He helped. Sorta. And this is now the most awkward conversation he's ever had in his not-life.]

For the record, I don't want to talk to you. Or hear you, or see you.
But. You probably know better than anyone. ...And your advice proves that. [Close to a thanks as you're going to get, bro.]
So what happens if you don't mean to be obvious, and the other person starts pulling away out of the blue?

"If they're pulling away and you don't know why, you have to find out. It's not that it means you've done something wrong, as much as it is that you aren't what they need. Everyone needs something, Katara, and if you can become it, they're as good as yours."
[Not to say he isn't curious about why Katara wants to have this conversation, but even one stray word out of place would probably break the temporary trust he's been given. He'll have to cautious if he wants to find out more.]

Huh. I never thought of that... [Pause, because she is seriously considering.] Thanks.
[And a quick followup] But don't think this means I want to hear your 'advice' whenever you feel like opening your mouth, got it?
