“Sounds to me like he’s avoiding the question..” Glancing up at Naga, the giant dog responded by growling and baring her teeth taking a few steps closer to Shin as Korra took a step forward. Putting her hands on her hips now, the Avatar sighed softly giving Shin a worried look.
“I’m not doing any triads any favors, you’ve got it wrong.” She explained with a smile, reaching up to pet Naga which instantly silenced her. “But you see, Naga here really likes Asami so when she heard that someone had borrowed money from her with no intent to pay it back she got a little.. upset.” More growling from above the Avatar started instantly and she slowly sauntered over and leaned against the wall beside him. “So you’ve got some choices here. You can pay the money back, which doesn’t seem likely; you can get your face chewed off by Naga, which is very likely; or you can do me a little favor.”
Shin seemed to be trying to back into the wall even further than he was already. A large, growling animal made him very nervous. He gave Korra a nervous smile. “Avoiding questions? Me? Never. Come on, now.” Shin considered how much yuans he had on him. No. No, he definitely didn’t have enough to pay Asami back. He did, at one point, but that was before he gambled it all away.
“Hey, now. Who’s been spreading these lies about me? Who said I had no intention of paying her back? I’m gonna pay her back. You think I’d risk ticking off a Black Dragon? No, thank you. I’d pay her back. It’s just, y’know, it’s taking a little while longer than I thought.” He shook his head rapidly. “Eh heh heh, no, no. Let’s not get my face chewed off by Naga. Look, I have a pretty face, all right? And I’m sure I don’t taste good. All smoke and skin and nothing tasty about me at all.”
He gave Korra a wary look. “What exactly do you mean by a little favor? I mean, always happy to try and help the Avatar, but I’ve got... obligations.”
