[He blames Korra deeply. His thoughts leak from quick quirks of expression, from the widening of his eyes to the rising corners of his mouth. He blames her for everything. Unfairly, unjustly, extremely. And it's so much easier to displace any anger at Amon onto the Avatar, because Tarrlok would never have been put in that position without her -- of this he convinces himself.
He eyes that hand, thoughtfully.]
I really do want to be there.
[Another second passes, but by now it's merely a theatrical hesitation. His fingers soon grip around Amon's hand, an implied pact.]
When she falls, I want to watch every piece crumble.
Of course. When the time comes, the whole world will see the end of the Avatar legacy... but aid me, and you will have the pleasure of a front-row seat.
[amon's grip is firm, and his eyes as cold as steel.]
[He doesn't let go of that hand. And for the first time since he's spoken, he smirks.
Always a good sign, that.]
A world without benders, a world born so abruptly will inevitably create a power void. Such is the consequence of revolutions, the structure of society embeds certain functions for certain classes. What, if I may inquire, are you going to institute within that void?
There's no denying that there will be... unrest. The people will be lost, confused. But those among the ranks of the Equalists have been seeking this for some time. It will fall to us to assume the mantle of leadership, and guide the public to a better tomorrow.
Your concern is understandable. But I ask you, Amon, to whom could I betray you? Republic City would sooner imprison even a former bloodbender than champion him, whatever his redeeming deeds.
