[Armin's frantic face fills the screen. Underneath the nervous energy, he looks rather tired and battle-worn, and he looks like he might be being powered purely by adrenaline right now.]
Carly, I need your help. Please tell me you are on the islands right now.
My-- Mikasa, she got kidnapped by one of those birds. It happened just now and-- I'd go after her myself, but we just finished handling another one of them, and I don't think I can get there in time. I need someone-- She's just a little girl. She can't--
[Considering they've mostly talked when times were calm, Carly has probably never heard Armin like this -- his voice tight with anxiety and rushing, slightly stumbling, over his own words.]
Korra will help. I already talked to her. Do you think the three of you can handle it? I'd-- I've been trying to think of anyone else who lives around here, but everybody else I can think of is unavailable.
[Or like Angel, Jean and Armin -- already absolutely exhausted.]
This is my fault-- I shouldn't have left her on her own. I should've-- we could've brought her with us--
[Armin is running a hand through his hair, pulling on it slightly. It's terrifying to not be able to help in any way. And more terrifying that Mikasa, for once, won't be able to do anything to help herself either. She's too young, too small to handle a bird like that on her own.]
This-- Listen, we just took on one of those birds, and from what I could tell, it's a Flying/Psychic type. And they really are immensely powerful. It ended up using mostly flying moves on us, but it also had this one psychic attack that-- it was bad. Don't underestimate it.
[This is definitely starting to feel like awkwardly third-wheeling a married couple at the grocery store.]
I'll, uh, go tell Korra the two of you are on your way. And if there is anything you want in exchange for this, anything at all, just let me know. She is like-- Mikasa is like my little sister. I just need her to be safe.
