Umm... Hi- Jack.

[The voice was unsure and the cadence of her sentences had a jagged, awkward wave to them.]

I’m, normally when- well, fish.

[A beat.]

No, I mean. I give my daily catch to Finnick, at his suite. But. Right now I have to give them.

[There’s a far off sigh, away from the microphone before the voice comes back at normal volume.]

The business, my work, Finnick said to give you my fish.

[Of all the times to suddenly sound like a lost child, Korra’s mindset picked now.]

Just- um, let me know. How that works. I mean, you’re in charge until he comes back.

Thanks? Bye…

It's all right Korra, I understand what you mean.

[ He's seen Finnick's message, concerned for his friend but knowing better than to push company on someone when they need time to sort themselves out. ]

Bring it by the store, I can whip up some containers so they can be frozen.

[ He realizes that Korra can probably freeze them herself with waterbending, but it makes him feel a little less useless. ]

[Not expecting him to answer, Korra took a sharp intake of breath.]

I’ve never been to the store actually. I just, I always just took the baskets to Finnick’s place and he paid me there.

[All Korra had learned from Finnick is that Jack owned half the company and made the lures, nothing else about the business.]

I don’t know where to go or what to do.

[She and her boss had never planned for anything like this.]

[ Jack nods to himself, though it's a voice only feed. ]

Okay. Where are you now, and I'll meet you there and I'll walk with you to the store.

[Getting some direction on what to do next gave her some relief.]

I’m at a café in the Metal Sector where I always get my hot chocolate. It’s where I first met Finnick. About two blocks south of my suite.

[A small huff of a laugh.]

Just keep an eye, or nose, out for the four large baskets of fish. [They were waist high and filled to the brim.]

[ that earns a chuckle ]

All right. I'll be there soon.
