[Closed to Jin] Backdated

[braavado]

[Once Korra and Jinora return from the South Pole, spirits a little dampened by their findings (no pun intended), Korra remembers that she has a certain promise to keep. Unfortunately, things get a little hectic as she reports the bad news--Katara and her parents all missing from the Southern Water Tribe, the presence of other barriers around the South Pole--though she'd spoken to Bumi over the radio already. It takes a few days for things to settle down again, and it's only then that Korra goes looking for Jin.

She hands the note ("Come by Air Temple in the next few days!") to Wan, hoping it'll reach the right hands. After that, all she can do is wait for Jin to find her way here.]

Alright! Sounds like a good idea to me.

[ She quickly grabs Korra's hand and began tugging her toward the docks. ]

[braavado]

[Korra looks down at their linked hands in surprise, but keeps up with Jin while they walk.]

So... how has everything been in the city? I've been hearing some of it from the air acolytes.

[gainedacoupon]

[ Hopefully Korra doesn't mind as their arms girlishly swing as well. It's sort of a habit of hers. ]

It's been a little... strained? I think a lot of citizens are just really confused and it makes them scared.

[braavado]

[More accurate words have never been spoken.

Korra nods, expression a little worried.]

They're lashing out and blaming people they think are "outsiders", but that's just making everything worse.

You and Wan haven't run into any trouble, have you?

[gainedacoupon]

I've run into a few places where they weren't too thrilled to have me around, but it's okay. I don't hold grudges.

[braavado]

[Korra stops, using Jin's hold on her hand to slow her down, too.]

It's not okay. The people of Republic City shouldn't be treating you and Wan any differently than everyone else.

Promise me you'll say something if it gets really bad?

[gainedacoupon]

I don't want to cause any trouble for anyone. Especially not you.

[braavado]

You're not causing trouble, Jin. It's the people who're doing this that are.

[Korra sighs, looking away.]

Look, there's...another reason. I'll tell you after the probending match, okay?

[She hadn't wanted to spill the beans so soon in their friendship, but if it'll convince Jin to say something when there's trouble, then there's no choice.]

[gainedacoupon]

Huh? Oh um... okay.

[ She frowned a little and tilted her head to look at Kora better. ]

Hey... Korra? Is something wrong?
