If it's a war he wants, then I've got an army.

Now cut the hysterics, we have a lot of work to do.

He won't catch my metalbenders off guard again.

[Korra pouts. Jeez, after all that is she still on the bad side of Beifong? She has big shoes to fill. She knows.]

Yeah, I get it.

[chiefbeifong]

[ For what it's worth, Korra's about as close to the good side as most people are gonna get. ]

And now that you won't be distracted by probending, I expect that your airbending training will be moving along quicker.

[spiritblocked]

[Avatar don't get no slack.]

Hey! Probending wasn't a distraction.

[chiefbeifong]

You really expect me to believe that practicing for your games had no effect on how much time you weren't working on your airbending.

[spiritblocked]

Believe it or not it helped.

[chiefbeifong]

Oh, I know all about how you finally got the hang of it after you fouled three times in the first round.

[ Don't let it get to you, she actually does like probending... ]

And how did it help you after?

1/Idk please bear with me

[spiritblocked]

[Oh.

Uh...]

[spiritblocked]

[OPENS HER MOUTH TO SAY SOMETHING-]

[spiritblocked]

[Now, wait. That's not it.]

[spiritblocked]

[Well maybe-]

[spiritblocked]

[No, no, no.]

[spiritblocked]

[Okay. Okay, wait. She's got this.]

[spiritblocked]

[Clearing her throat.]

I am so sorry about your inbox. I'm finished now.

[spiritblocked]

I practice both at Air Temple Island and in the gym. So, uh... double the practice, double the progress?

'S COOL

[chiefbeifong]

... well I suppose it makes no difference to me now that the tournament's over.

[ Wow Lin, way to bring up a sore subject with sensitivity and compassion. ]

♥

[spiritblocked]

[MEAN. Sigh.]

My team lost to a bunch of cheaters anyway.

[chiefbeifong]

And they paid for it with their bending, so really, your team dodged a boulder there.

[ Look, there's a bright side! ]

[spiritblocked]

[Lin's right, but it still sucks to lose. Anyway-]

I wonder what will happen to the Arena now. [Will it be fixed? Or left in shambles?]

[chiefbeifong]

The Arena earns more for this city than just about every other industry. The only question is whether or not it'll be fixed before we handle the Equalist problem.

[ Probably... ]

[spiritblocked]

If we're working together I'm sure we can do it. We almost had them that night.

[chiefbeifong]

Hm. Amon is getting bolder and more careful, so you'd better keep your guard up.

I won't have the Avatar losing her bending on my watch.

[spiritblocked]

Yeah, and it won't happen if I have anything to say about it either.

[Wow, Lin... was that last sentence almost nice?]

[chiefbeifong]

Then I expect you won't be doing anything reckless... or stupid or irresponsible...

[ Nah man, it would just be super embarrassing for the chief of police if the Avatar does happen to get permanently messed up. ]

[spiritblocked]

Yeah, yeah. Amon is serious business. I know.

[She won't forget that night on Aang Memorial Island.]

[chiefbeifong]

And as long as you're not messing around, I suppose I should consider myself lucky.

[spiritblocked]

He may have won the battle, but... not the war.

[chiefbeifong]

And we can't afford to let him.

[ Man it's just too bad he knows so much more about benders than they do about Equalists. ]

[spiritblocked]

We won't. I'm sure of it.
