All it takes is a little time and the right motivation, then magic comes~ I'll have Tenzin take note that she's viewing something, but isn't aware it's a picture of him. Perhaps it isn't just him, but both of them from a long time ago together? Just to sweeten it and all. It's all up to you and how you think Lin would cope with her separation. Mako will swear he's seeing her smile more around the station though xP Love is in the air!~

Yeah, it's something I look forward to, having them strengthen more than ever before. He'll swear he'd love her the same even without her bending though, but no doubt there's going to be that moment of intense desire once he sees her do it! I don't think he'll be able to believe it possible, and the IRONY of it all would astound him. We should let her savor that for a while before the water bending shows itself, and that's when things might get a little heavy in the drama department.
