"There are hotter fish in the sea"?

Gee, thanks, mun. You really know how to cheer a gal up.

Whatever, let's just get this over with - I have a father to visit.

[That doesn't make Lin as happy as it should though.]

Perhaps. though all things considered... I'd rather they want me, Avatar or no Avatar.

[Ah, ideas about standing on one's own reputation that her mother drilled into her as a youngin'. But hey, at least the competition is... well.]

On the other hand, it sounds like Saikhan... wasn't much better as Chief. I had a suspicion he wasn't quite ready to lead yet.

[vavavroom]

[ oh, she knows all about wanting that independence and acknowledgement. ]

It's a lot of pressure. But you're used to that.

[challinging]

Well. It is part of being a metalbender, according to my mother. Pressure and pain. You learn to work with it.

[vavavroom]

My self-defense instructor used to say something similar...

[ she laughs a little. ]

It's funny. When I was little, I used to think that if I were a bender.. I'd be an earthbender.

[challinging]

You have the fortitude of half the men on my squad. If you were an Earthbender, I would've made a fine metalbender out of you.

As it is, I still know a thing or two about non-bending-based fighting. If you ever are interested.

[vavavroom]

[ that's almost bittersweet, if she thinks about it long enough.

so she doesn't.

but that offer brings a little smile to her lips. don't mind if she does, lin. ]

...thanks. I think I could use the distraction. [ ...and because the thought intrigues her too much: ] And if you're ever interested in a spin around the track, let me know.

[challinging]

I'm not much one for driving, but I believe it would be interesting, with you behind the wheel. I may take you up on that.

[vavavroom]

You'd have the best driver in Republic City.

[challinging]

I'm certain I would.

[And hey maybe they can run over a hotter guy than Mako]

[vavavroom]

If you're ever around the area, don't hesitate to look me up.

[ gurrrlll let's go man hunting ]
