Hiding fear and doubt behind anger

[oneofakind]

You know, you don't have to worry about me! I'll be fine! I'll break out and kick his ass!

He'll regret the day he was born before I'm through with him! Bloodbender or not, I am stronger and better than he his and I will find a way!

I just hope Naga will be ok, and Tenzin finds a way to get my friends out quickly.

[Then maybe they can come help me...]

[the_one]

You can do it!

[He has no idea who Korra is.

Kirby just thinks she can do it.]

[oneofakind]

Uhhh... thanks?

[A pink blob is talking to her. What do?]

[the_one]

[Treat him like a little boy. It's what he is! That's the theory at least, but you know. Maximum pink and all.]

Just don't give up, okay?

[oneofakind]

[She guesses she can work with that. He's less weird than Meelo, at least.

Sort of.]

Of course not! I'm the Avatar! I can't give up! Especially not when people still need me.

[Crouches down and smiles]

[the_one]

[That's really not impressive.]

Oy? If people need you, then you gotta!

[Being a mere eight inches tall, Kirby appreciates this. Luckily he has no neck to get sore from looking up all the time. Whatever, Korra is getting an encouraging pat to the knee.]

Then when they don't need you...Have some cake.

[oneofakind]

[Sorry. You are a sentient talking piece of chewing gum]

You're right. I have a lot of people who need me. I have no other option. I have to come through for them!

[laughing] I could use with a food break, yeah. But I don't think there will ever be a day when they don't need me.

[the_one]

[Oh ouch. He is a puff ball! Whatever a puff ball is. Kirby is one though.]

Sometimes they'll need you, sometimes they won't. Between those two, there's time for cake!

[This is the firmest belief ever.]

[oneofakind]

[Haven't a damn clue what that is.]

What about time for noodles?

[noodles are so much more important than cake.]

[the_one]

Mmm! With pork and beef. There's time for that too. And roast chicken, steak and pudding with ice cream.

[That's a damn lie. All food is equally important, except for tomatoes which are the best food ever.]

[oneofakind]

Aww man! You're making me hungry, little dude. I don't even know what some of that is. Chicken? Don't you mean sea-hen? Or chicken-fish?

[Nope. Jerky and noodles are definitely the best food.]

[feelsbending]

Hey, don't worry about it Korra! No one even knows what happens to the people who are off-screen!

[oneofakind]

[Oh, Bolin, that childish look of complete trust really isn't making her feel less guilty]

Who knows what the council might do to you and all the non-benders... They're already so far under that slimy jerk's thumb.

You are all my responsibility now and... I let you down.

[She's so, so sorry.]

[feelsbending]

[ he frowns ]

Hey, don't talk like that. No one's let us down besides that creep Tarrlok.

[ he smiles ]

Don't worry, okay? We can all take care of ourselves until we need the daring heroic rescue.

[oneofakind]

[Sigh. You're really determined, aren't ya?]

All right. You better! [forced smile and a punch to the arm]

I better find you in one piece or I'll kick your butt.
