[ Hei lets her carry on squalling. Doesn't set her down; his brisk stride doesn't slow until they're out of the marketplace. Even as a child, Korra has a perceptive intensity about her surroundings, an overflow of feeling. Too bad it's wasted on a situation like this. He carries her along without looking back. His grip and tone are steady -- mind occupied only on getting her to the beach-house. ] It's late. You need to be home. [ The child, the old man, none of that registers on Hei's moral radar as anything other than mildly distasteful. ]
[ Korra probably sensed something off about the pair. But he's prepared to lie to her if she persists. She's too young for him to commit to an explanation of black, white and gray. More than likely, she won't get it even if she's eighteen again. ]
