Log; [Korra waits in the park for Chekov to arrive. They don't have any plans for today, just spend some time together and have fun. It's been awhile since they've just had fun.]

The bar's owner claims that you're responsible for the current state of his property.

[There's an unspoken, "What do you have to say for yourself?" tacked on to that.

The blonde officer kneels next to Korra and Chekov and begins looking them over for injuries.]

[anatural]

We're responsible?! We were ATTACKED!!!!!!

[othersdie]

Who attacked you?

[The woman hauls Chekov--who protests, but does little else to dissuade her--to his feet and leads him off of the roof, leaving Korra and Justin.]

[anatural]

[She stops. Crap. What does she tell him?

She could tell him the truth. Give him every detail about Hei. He'd deserve it. He deserves all the trouble he gets. It's tempting. It's so. Very. Tempting.

But she's gotten so much into the habit of secrecy about him, it feels impossible to break. In a twisted way, it feels like a betrayal.]

I........... I don't know.

[She doesn't like to think about his vengeance either, though she hates to admit that she's scared.]

Some weird freak with wires.

[othersdie]

[The pause doesn't go unnoticed. Justin's incredibly suspicious.]

A freak with wires. [Uh huh.] Can you tell me anything else?

[anatural]

[She shakes her head.]

No. It all happened so fast...and I banged my head up pretty good.

[othersdie]

You don't remember a freak wind storm, do you?

[He interviewed people, Korra. Be careful about what you say.]

[anatural]

[GERK.

Guilt. Written all over her face.]

[othersdie]

Is that a yes?

[She could be a little more self-incriminating.]

[anatural]

It was self-defense!

[Probably.]

[othersdie]

[He doesn't rub his temples or pinch the bridge of his nose, but Justin's expression indicates that he's experiencing a headache and would like to do both.]

We'll continue this interview after a doctor has looked you over.

[anatural]

[Do they have to? Korra unwittingly gives him a big, sad, scared expression.]

[othersdie]

What? [Justin isn't used to getting big, sad, scared expressions.] Would you rather not go to the hospital?

[anatural]

I....kinda just want to go...home? [hopeful]

[othersdie]

Unless you can prove that you weren't responsible for the bar's destruction, that's not an option.

[anatural]

[DAMN IT. Why is this her life?]
