Awww. [Ace was pretty honest with his disappointment here, but it didn't stop him from pulling out a bunch of jerky and offer it to Pabu. Ferrets ate Slim Jims, right?]
Have you just tried gettin' him to use fire? Maybe he can do that earth bending thing, instead.
[ As a former ferret of the streets, Pabu possessed the much-necessary ability to eat anything that was technically considered edible. It was a gift. ]
If there's one thing I know, it's that you never know, right? When he played Juji in my Nuktuk movers, they did this really cool thing where it looked like he had eye beams, and I always thought that could be so useful in real life!
Ohh, right. I should really start remembering this stuff. Well, movers are sort of a... moving pictures... type of situation. I'm sure there's a detailed technical explanation about how it works and how it all gets put together, but I'll be honest. [ The hands went up, and the shrug came out. ] I was only interested in the acting, so I have no idea what any of those explanations are. My judgement call leans towards cool, though. I got to pretend to be a waterbending hero who saved the world and his girlfriend with the help of talking animals. It was pretty great!
Movies? Huh. Yeah, I guess I can see how that would work too. [ Like wow, how did nobody think of that. ] And yeah! My friend Varrick turned me into Nuktuk: hero of the South!
[ He struck a heroic pose. As heroic as one got without standing up anyway. ] I mean, it was mostly trying to get the President to send troops down to the South Pole to help with a civil war, and then Varrick sort of turned out to be, you know, playing both sides of the fence to make money off of it, so it really went against the hero thing. But it was still a lot of fun! And I maybe got a girlfriend out of it, too? That's been pretty unclear so far.
[Then, Bolin started talking and Ace started feeding Pabu pieces of jerky, almost unblinking. Political quandaries and scuffles were interesting to some, but Ace's deadpanned and confused stare indicated that he was completely and utterly lost in even the shortest of explanations of war and politics.]
[ I'm so sorry Ace. He's terrible at reading people.
But that said, he also had his little rambly explanation out of the way, and didn't see a need to go full life-story for the occasion. He paused for a second to consider why he was even on that track of thought. ]
Oh, but yeah, I guess I try to keep pretty busy with whatever I can. The probending season, uh. Kinda fell through pretty early, so I was lucky Varrick ended up needing me!

Uh. [In return to what Bolin told him about the movers--Ace only had a deadpanned, confused look to give him. Really, that all came at once.]
Y'know, we come from pretty different places. You gotta tell me more than that or I can't tell you if it's cool or not.
[Cultural exchanges at their most base of forms.]

Holy shit, you did movies? You're an actor and a pro-bender, too?
[The mystique of Bolin. The mystery as to how one man could be so many things.]
