Log;
Two mashed together revolutions have just broken out in the City tonight. There's yelling, and violence, and fires, and a march on important City buildings. It's not particularly organised. Everyone seems to just be acting as loud and noisy as possible.

One question remains: are you hiding from the riot, or are you a part of it?

[helsmaiden]

[A nearby explosion sends a bit of debris hurtling up towards the roof. Leah casually raises the hand not holding her popcorn bowl and casts a spell. A green force field protects the two girls from the flying debris.

It would seem she isn't so helpless after all…]

[anatural]

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

[helsmaiden]

[Leah shoots the other girl a look that says, 'Um, you're welcome?']

Magic. [Then it's back to the popcorn.]

[anatural]

[She gapes.]

If you can do that, why aren't you helping?!

[helsmaiden]

[She's already done her fair share in making this revolution possible. This moment of rest is her reward. But, she can hardly tell that to a stranger.]

Who would you have me help? What side are you on?

[anatural]

[Both excellent questions. Korra doesn't know what side she's on. She wants to take down the deities, but not like this, not this sort of chaos.]

People are being hurt down there! You could help them!

[helsmaiden]

Why? They have done nothing for me.

[anatural]

That's not the point!

[helsmaiden]

Then I'm afraid I've rather missed it.

[anatural]

The point is they need you!

[helsmaiden]

If they wanted to remain unharmed, they should have avoided the rioting.

[anatural]

[There are any number of logical and pertinent counter arguments to Leah's statement. But Korra is a creature of emotion more than logic.] How can you be so heartless?!?!
