[ There is a kind of careful neutrality in Lin's voice right now. ]

Roommates: I am escorting Korra down to the station to answer a few questions.

And then I am going to yoga. [ She needs to relax. ]

[filtered to police force]

Got another stabber coming in. Woman at the hospital reported it. I thought we should at least follow up, make sure it was curse-related.

I can't work this one for personal reasons, anyone want to take it?

[ ooc: Korra stabbed Chekov, Uhura reported it, and Lin's bringing her in. Yep. ]

I see... [Without thinking, he salutes her.] Thank you for maintaining order and keep up the good work!

[He quickly falters, realizing he'd made a mistake: wrong tone! Wrong wording! A chief of police is certainly not a depot agent.]

That— was probably the wrong thing to say, forgive me. I meant no offense.

[ She's actually kind of pleased. ]

We don't often get thanks in this job.

[brothertragedy]

[That reaction stops him from fretting too much. He smiles.]

Many in the service of others do not often receive recognition for their work. But, their absence would surely be deeply felt.

You must work in a similar profession.

I work in public transport.

[lawbender]

[ The car is a new thing to her civilization. She's not sure what he could mean by that. ]

You own a rickshaw? Or carriage?

[He blinks at her question, then can't help smiling in amusement. Now, this is one subject he can go on and on about:] Oh, no, Madame, together with my brother, I am in charge of the subway transit of my city... it's a bustling city that people come to from around the region, so it is a necessity to offer a convenient method of travel.

We use trains. [Using the carriage comparision is a bit confusing to him, since he doesn't know how they work without Pokemon. If making animals fight is a crime and dangerous there, perhaps using them to carry people from place to place is too? So he settles on the rickshaw:] Think of them like several jinrikisha hooked up to one another to carry several people at once, heading to the same destination, but instead of being driven by a person's power, they run on electricity. I do not own rikisha, I own densha, Madame.

[ She is familiar with electricity. This sounds like an adaptation of the local system that gets people around her city. Interesting. She can't help but think that Uncle Sokka would be fascinated. ]

That sounds very useful. Do you manage airships also?

[ She's a bit more familiar with those. ]

[brothertragedy]

There are zeppelins and airplanes, yes.

We do not personally own or manage any, however.

We use them for police transportation at home, rather than trying to navigate the busy streets.
