"It's Mako. Leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

[ So Bolin has taken upon himself the duties of being the Older Brother, which means not only acting the part, but dressing for it.

So.

Styles his hair like Mako and is currently working on making his eyebrows have that sharkpoint ]

I don't even know how Mako can do this every day...

[He can do it every day because he took after not just Dad, but also mom in the sharkbrow department. You just look like Tu.

Duh.

Still, when he comes back in, he pauses.

And stares at Bolin while he tries to puzzle something out.]

... What are you doing?

As the current Older Brother, I have taken upon myself the task of accomplishing the duties required of me.

And what better way to be an older brother than to dress like one.

[hold on. Mako is having a weird moment where he's like.

really confused.]

... Something besides your hair changed.

It has been one day since I shaved.

Did you... spike your eyebrows?

[he stares at him]

Okay, that's too weird, get rid of it. Now.

Look my only model for what an older brother should look like is you.

Be flattered.

You don't look like me, you look like Dad.

It's weird.

[FIX IT OR HE'S GONNA FIX YOUR FACE, BOLIN.]

Whoa, seriously?

I overshot my mark here big time.

[He gives his brother the flattest of looks, because what did you think was going to happen, bro.]

Okay, I can get looking up to me and wanting to look like me, but it's time to face the facts, bro.

Fix your face or I'm gonna fix it for you. You're creeping me out.

...

[ deepens his voice: ] Mako, can we have a talk?

Oh, good, you don't remember what Dad sounds like.

[therefore, HE'S GOING TO LAUNCH FORWARD AND NOOGIE YOU INTO THE GROUND]

You might be older but I'm still your older brother.

Son, your mother and I are worried about you.

[ trying to maintain the voice, but it's hard when he's too busy laughing ]

[the only retaliation is to noogie harder for a moment-- and then to let him go]

There, image ruined.

Son, I am disappointed.

Ugh... Bolin, drop the act. Seriously.

Fine, I guess I can.

[ for now, fixing his hair to put it back into his style ]

Though seriously, your eyebrows bro.

I get them from mom and dad. What are you getting at?

Nothing!

Just that I can't imitate them at all.

Okay. [he feels like there's something else there, but you know what? He's just gonna drop it. Drop it and be done.]

Just... stop letting this whole 'age' thing go to your head.

Never.

... Sometimes, Bolin. Sometimes.

[W/E HE'S GOING TO GO START DINNER. AND HE'S NOT MAKING YOU ANY.]
