Thank you, Bolin. I'm really glad I can count on you. [ She means that!! ] I was so worried that I would be alone here, since I'm not very good at making friends... so I really am glad.
What? I can't think of anyone who wouldn't want to be friends with you. [ He's so cheery as he says this, mood lifting. ] You must've made some here, right? Tell me about them!
Oh. Well, y'know. You're still young... [ Bolin has no idea how girls go through puberty. ] The guys that you date probably shouldn't be looking for that kind of thing anyway? I mean, they'd be your age.
[ Developed. Why is he using that word. This is the worst. She wants to disappear. ]
B-But don't boys like that? I-I thought they wanted girls who were beautiful and strong... [ The unspoken implication being that she's neither of those things. ]
They're both really amazing. Big Sister Hinoka is really beautiful and a strong fighter... she's like a goddess! And Mother i—was really beautiful too... she was so strong and kind and wise. She was the perfect queen!

Bolin puffs out his chest a little. ]
Well, you know what they say: there's nothing like helping people help themselves. You can count on me for anything.
[ Charming grin despite this being an audio call. ]

W-Well... th-there's you, and everyone who helped me on the train. And Miss Sakura and K-Kija and Jae-ha and Allen.
[ There's a thoughtful pause. ]
Th-That's really a lot of people, isn't it? I didn't expect to make so many friends...

I-I don't know... I'm not very... [ There's a long pause here where she struggles with words. Finally, she blurts out: ] I'm not very womanly!
