[tarotcards]

What's going on?

[browbeater]

sorry, that was supposed to go to bolin.

he hid the french press because he's mad at me.

[tarotcards]

... you mean one of those coffee pots?

[browbeater]

yep...

coffee's really important to me, okay.

[tarotcards]

I see...

Why is he mad at you in the first place?

[browbeater]

i grounded him.

[tarotcards]

... how old is he? I thought he was in university.

[browbeater]

yep, he is....

[the true power of the older brother]

[tarotcards]

I see that the powers of grounding don't have an expiration date...

What did you ground him for?

[browbeater]

losing his scholarship because he was partying too much.

[tarotcards]

That's... definitely worth a grounding for. I don't know why he'd be mad at you though, enough to steal away your coffee pot.

[browbeater]

he thinks i'm not being understanding enough of how the freedom was hard to adjust to... but if i let him use that excuse, he'll just keep doing it.

so he decided to get back at me by taking the one thing i need if i'm going to be able to handle nightshift again.

[tarotcards]

I'm on your side for this, Mako (sorry Bolin, if you read this).

I don't have a fancy french press but I have a coffeemaker if you want to borrow it until you get yours back.

[browbeater]

it's ok, i'm not going to let him read my texts.

did you make up with your brother, btw?

[tarotcards]

Yeah, I did. We had a really good heart-to-heart talk about everything.

And I need to thank you for that.

[browbeater]

no problem, i know you got this going forward. family's hard sometimes. and your situation's pretty unique.

[tarotcards]

Haha, it's definitely something.

I hope you can work things out with your brother though. And that he brings back your French press.

[browbeater]

thanks, we'll see if he gets over it before the midterms. i hope he gets over it sooner, but we've been through worse... so i'll live no matter what.

[tarotcards]

If it helps, I could study with your brother? Make sure that he's focused.

[browbeater]

you could try. he's never asked me for help, though. so i don't know if it's because i'm his brother or... he just doesn't ask for help.

[he suspects it's the latter...]

[tarotcards]

What's his major? Maybe it's something that he feels like you can't help with.

[browbeater]

he's changed it a few times, but i think he settled on theater? i'm not sure, i'd have to check.

[tarotcards]

Maybe he thinks you're not a good actor so he doesn't ask for help?

[browbeater]

i'd be willing to bet that it's not the acting classes he's failing, though.

because he's right, i'm not a good actor.

[tarotcards]

You're not?

Haven't you ever taken part in those cute elementary school plays?
