Well? [tugs a mustache straight]
[Huff. He leaned away and crossed his arms before muttering.]
I’mnotreallygoodattheshavingthing.
Oh come on. Zhu Li did all of your shaving?
Not ALL the time.
[Pout.]
It's just been a while since I last did it myself and I'll probably cut myself everywhere.
...
WHAT IF I BLEED TO DEATH, BEN!
[Grips front of the ginger's shirt.]

varrick + text posts (2/?)
So, are you planning on shaving, or are you growing a beard in protest of the war?
Varrick shrugged and frowned down at the floor. “It’s fine. I deserved it.” He snuffed and scratched at his stubble with a bigger frown. Mostly a pout. Zhu Li would have reminded him to shave this morning.
"You shouldn’t go back there. Heck, I’m never going back.” What reason did he have to go back? If things end up going Kuvira’s way, there would be nothing to go back to.
"That’s pretty drastic, luv," he replied. “‘Sides. We do need t’know if Zhu Li ever tells this psycho lady ‘bout the portal. Can you imagine how much shit’d happen if she came over here with ‘er earthbendin’ army?"
Plus, part of Rook really couldn’t believe Zhu Li would just totally abandon Varrick like that. It had to be some sort of deception. A bid to keep herself and Varrick alive, putting her in a position to help him later.
"An’ don’ you have a bunch of labs over there still? With lotsa notes an’ research she could use?"
Varrick flinched at the mention of Zhu Li and glowered more into the floor with his arms wrapped around his legs. He would have said it wasn't his problem anymore but if they DID get here...he'd be indirectly the cause.
"Can I not think about all the worse possibilities for a little bit? I know what she's capable of. I worked for her for three years. She choked me out with my own metal uniform. She's completely crazy and obsessed with power. And this whole thing - it's not my responsibility anymore. Let the Avatar deal with it, I don't want to get involve. I'd rather stay alive. I'm not a one man army and neither are you or Ben. So just stay out of it. It's not your war, either."
He went to sidle a glare at Rook. "And don't bring Zhu Li up again."
It’s been such a long time coming, I don’t know why I never drew Varrick, he was my favourite part of Book 2 and continues to be my favourite character of the series.
So yea, have some smug Varrick.
[That just made him scowl more and rest his chin on his knees.]
A giant laser beam of spirit energy.
What kind of bullshit is “spirit energy”? What, gonna pep up the sports team?
[Varrick gave her a very dull eyed stare before squinting.]
No. Spirit energy made from spirit vines. Pure energy. When abused, it can destroy anything in its path.
Rook ended up sitting down next to him. Gently placed an arm over Varrick’s shoulder.
"Look. I was jus’. Worried about Ben."
He sighed.
"S’not like I don’ appreciate what y’done for ‘im. If it weren’ f’you, I prolly wouldn’ be with him now. Only reason he felt comfortable is ‘cause y’like seventy thousand times better’n his old bosses. Y’given him freedom an’ a place t’work properly. Helped him fix his limbs. It means a lot."
A pause.
"So, y’know, y’can stay here while y’get back on y’feet. You an’ Ben migh’ be too conspicuous t’go back t’y’bendyland or whatever, but… I could prolly go get y’some clothes or whatever from back there. If y’needed me to. Or y’can borrow mine."
Varrick shrugged and frowned down at the floor. "It's fine. I deserved it." He snuffed and scratched at his stubble with a bigger frown. Mostly a pout. Zhu Li would have reminded him to shave this morning.
"You shouldn't go back there. Heck, I'm never going back." What reason did he have to go back? If things end up going Kuvira's way, there would be nothing to go back to.
[That earned a scowl from him and an indignant cross of his arms.]
I didn’t do anything WRONG, like you’re implying. There’s a war going on and I was being forced to build a super weapon. I made sure they couldn’t use it, though.
Ooooh, what kind of super weapon?
*Clearly not giving a shit about whether Varrick wants to talk to her. Cassie’s been more the most part holed up at home and here’s finally someone new to entertain her.*
[That just made him scowl more and rest his chin on his knees.]
A giant laser beam of spirit energy.
I was being held captive somewhere and Ben got me out.
[Didn’t want to say TOO much. Huff. He didn’t know this gal.]
Right. You’re from the same place as the dog.
What’d you do?
[That earned a scowl from him and an indignant cross of his arms.]

Why are you in my house?
[Squints.]
Ben brought me here. Thought this was Rook’s place.
[He folded his arms, nose a little busted but he’d gotten it treated after he was done with being stubborn.]
I know Ben brought you here.
Partly his. Partly mine. So I’ll ask again why you’re here because neither of them tell me anything.

[Just stares back at her, or really THROUGH her. He's kind of a mess and misses his partner, so...
But then he was starting to to feel the heebee geebies from this lady and blinked.]
Can I help you?
[Watches him quietly a moment, then leans back, not looking at him.]
We’re going to go back for her, aren’t we boss?
[He knew who Ben meant and didn't really make eye contact either.]
She made her choice.
[But a part of him wanted to go back. That maybe Zhu Li hadn't meant it, or maybe if he apologized and she'd see he was genuine and she'd leave with them but at what cost?
Kuvira would destroy them if given the chance. He rubbed at his face. Tired.]
I think I will use this phrase as my life motto
theempprofessor replied to your post:You alright there, Varrick?
Look, uh. I’m sorry Rook socked you like that
Mm.
[Just going to scratch at his five o'clock shadow.]
You alright there, Varrick?
Yeah, Ben. Just peachy.
