Taco Salad is not happy to help you. Taco Salad hungers for justice, and for a bite of whatever you're eating.

[There's conversational whiplash, and then there's this.

Naruto is equally concerned and confused- mouth working silently for a moment before he starts sputtering.] Wh-

What?! Who- What?!

[ That reaction means that Naruto's thinking is probably similar to his right?

But he glances away, vowed to secrecy. ]

I can't say... But what do you think? Does it sound normal? Sound I keep my nose out of it? Sometimes you have to be... [ he squints, pained ] accepting of differences?

Well.... [This isn't a situation he's ever been in before. No one back home would ever think to ask him, of all people, for advice- let alone romantic advice. Well, except maybe Sai, but Sai really was clueless. His head shakes.]

Are you only gettin' involved cause of you, or is it cause the younger one's in trouble?

[ Bolin looks away rather guiltily. ]

Just because of me. [ His eyes go back to Naruto then. ] But only because I care.

I dunno... I think if you care then maybe you also gotta care that it's something that makes them happy right now, right?

I just don't want her to get hur—

[ He stops, realization hitting him like lightning. ]

Oh man... I'm turning into Mako.

Is that

Bad??

I thought you liked your brother?

I do! [ He does! ] But this is exactly the kind of thing that was so annoying about him! He was always like "that's not a good idea, Bolin" or "I don't think you should do that, Bolin" or "Bolin, can you please be serious?" even when I was being serious!

And now... I'm doing the same thing!

Oh. Okay.

[What whiplash]

So does that mean you're gonna leave 'em alone?

[ He's wearing an extremely unwilling expression despite his revelation. ]

Should I? I still think you'd make a better boyfriend.

I don't know what kinda boyfriend I'd be, I've never been a boyfriend before.

It's not that hard. It's basically like being good friends with someone, but with [ he stifles a grin here ] slight differences.

And you're a good friend, so I have faith in you.

Well you're a good friend too...

I still don't really understand why you're so worried about me having a girlfriend and not you though.

I'm not worried. [ Not about Naruto anyway, Sakura is a slightly different story. He wouldn't care if Setsuna wasn't so old. ]

Are you trying to say I should focus on myself?
