[She's never been good at mincing her words; most of the time it doesn't even occur to her to try. She sees a problem and she charges headfirst at it.
She remembers that "I'm fine." She's used it before, when she refused to admit how much Amon terrified her, and it just made things worse. It made her join Tarrlok's task force, even though she didn't want to and didn't think it was a good idea. It made her go to face Amon alone. He could have taken her bending that night -- he could have killed her that night. It was the first time in her life that she had ever felt completely and utterly powerless.]
Tenzin once told me that it's important to talk about our problems. If we don't, they can throw us out of balance.
[Her words are halting and awkward. She feels stupid, just parroting Tenzin's words, and out of her depth, trying to face a problem she doesn't understand and she can't punch her way out of. But the Avatar's job is maintaining balance, and Li? Is seriously out of whack.]
I'll listen. If you wanna talk about it.
[You'll never be clean of the filth if you hold it inside.]
