I'll certainly try my best to invoke a strong emotional reaction out of Lin. I think she just needs a good cry to get it all out and ease up a bit. I don't know how Tenzin can ruin the reconciling - the only way I see him saying anything about it is if Lin insults Pema or Pema insults Lin. He won't tolerate either of those things very much. 

A LITTLE suggestive but I think we can use that move for a later time~ And yeah Mako can make a date for them, maybe HE can cook and they can just have a warm, whole meal at home. No need to go to fancy restaurants for every date :3 

Bolin and Korra are going to be the fun ones so when they get past the angst of their previous misunderstanding, they'll be the ones you look forward to the most.
