[ something about that question starts a fire in korra's chest; it burns, makes her angry. ]
Mako didn't do anything. [ but she forces herself not to continue to snap, burdened by guilt as she is. ] I asked what the Seelie's goals were and the Queen didn't like that. She was going to punish me but Mako, he
