I don't like this. I know I'm not the first person to say that this month, and I won't be the last. We were dealing with a possibly militant rebellion at home and it didn't feel as dangerous as this month has been. Probably because I had the illusion of control in Republic City. I refused to believe that terrible things could happen under my watch. That's something I've inherited from my mother - overconfidence.
Jinora's gone, at least there's that. But of course the rest of Korra's friends have shown up instead, young and angry and ready to get into the middle of a mess that they have no business in. I understand the desire to go home, but there's only so many times you can break a brick against the wall before it starts to come back at you. Of course, none of the are sensible about it. I wouldn't be surprised if they joined the rebellion. I probably would have, when I was young and too impatient to wait for justice. Tenzin is here, but he's too soft to be much of a babysitter. And I am not going to co-parent with him. If I wanted to do that--
[ There is a sudden quick click. Yep. Lin is completely done talking, as much good as that's going to do her now. ]
[ There's another click, followed by a mutter -- ] Better delete... Oh. Of course. It published. Great.

If you have a problem with us, then let's lay out some ground rules. I'm not here to mess around.

[ Well, intended or not, cat's out of the bag. She'll have to deal. ]
Look before you leap, that's the big one. This City is a lot more dangerous than it looks at first glance. And it doesn't look good now.

You guys recruiting?

[ Is it a little hypocritical to complain about kids getting themselves into trouble, and then inviting them to join the police force? Probably. It's happening, though. ]

Sounds like a plan.
