"I just thought, sometimes, with the way you talk with Asami ... not that I've been eavesdropping or anything. And it was what the girl at the second-hand store picked out, part of it, and I just thought it would look really flattering on you, even though I wasn't sure you liked dresses. I just remembered that one time ... at City Hall."
He scrubs his hands together, a little nervously, having completely failed at trying to explain away the dress. "What I mean is, you're still sticking around, Korra. That's way more than I ever had a right to expect of you. Outside of Mako, you're the best friend ... I've ever had. So I don't think my opinion of you is inflated at all."
Bolin pauses again, tapping all ten fingertips together one last time before dropping his hands and giving a round-shouldered shrug. "But I also think we both know that we never clicked, and I respect that. Also, I saved all the receipts in an envelope, because Mako always tells me to save all my receipts."
