"Nous protégeons ceux qui ne peuvent pas se protéger."

We protect those who cannot protect themselves. [ her voice is stronger for the translation that had followed and as she continues talking, allison's tone remains even (though it's not hard to pick up the passion behind it). ]

That's the code I took on back home. The circumstances were completely different, of course, but I've been thinking a lot about it lately. Maybe things here aren't quite as dissimilar as I'd thought. [ there's a pause as she takes in a deep breath. there's a lot of doubts in her mind about everything, but she doesn't want any of them to be heard. ]

I know it might be too soon to start talking about some kind of official protective force - we're still in the process of deciding on a code, or a council, or something else entirely - but.

But even if it's unofficial, I want to do something. I don't know if it will help, but a lot happened this past month and I just want to make sure that no one feels unsafe or scared again.

If you're interested, come talk to me. Even if it's for something as simple as maybe learning to protect yourself in a bad situation.

Why would I do that?

[ her expression changes to a perplexed one because a thought like that hadn't even crossed her mind ]

You're asking the wrong person. I'd tell you to meet Tarrlok, but he's back home and he disappeared when the Equalists attacked my city.

[She's not too surprised, he was always a slippery one.]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. [ she's still frowning, but it softens somewhat. ] I really do genuinely just want to help people. Or help them help themselves, whatever the case might be.

[Korra gives Allison a piercing look and shakes her head.]

Good enough for me, I guess. You wanna start a group that protects people? I'm in.

[She's been getting more and more restless here, and this could be what she needs as an outlet.]

Glad to hear. I'm Allison, by the way.

[ might as well actually introduce herself if they were going to do something ]

I'm Korra. Got anyone else in mind for this? I hate to say it, but two out of three hundred isn't going to be enough.

[Especially with her cut off from both the Avatar state and three elements.]

Maybe another two or three?

Do you have any kind of prior training? It'd help in knowing how much the two out of three hundred can do.

Been training since I was a kid.

[Not said so enthusiastically, considering the elements she's actually trained in for that long are blocked.]

I know some close quarter combat and I can use the air element.

Are either of those your weapon?

Yeah, I got these.

[She lifts her hand so Allison can see the fingerless SAP glove she's wearing.]

Thought they were pretty useless at first but they're a lot more useful now.

You look like you could do some damage with those. Hopefully it won't matter how many of us there are, if we can do something.

[That little comment goes a long way, pulling a slight smile onto Korra's face.]

What about you? What's your weapon?
