[ Korra's not finished talking but the moment she gets to the part where she woke up covered in blood Rose is hugging her, tightly, drowning out that memory with the force of everything she can give. ]

I don't... really do forgiveness, Korra. [ it implies she's been hurt, and that's weakness ] I'm not really [ a good person ] the type. You could, though.

[ She doesn't talk about the day the Black Lanterns came to look for her father, seeking vengeance for his deeds, and that no one had come looking for her. She's not giving anyone that fuel. ]

Did you know I was assigned to kill Kent? Not the one here, in my world. He said - the same thing.

[ She still can't understand why. ]

[braavado]

I guess I'm not very good at forgiveness, when it comes to myself either.

[It's hard to admit, but she's been aware of it for some time now, just never voiced it. Giving the advice to someone else is always easier than letting go of something yourself.

The hug is unexpected, but Korra's glad of it, circling her arms around Rose and returning it once she's over the surprise.] But maybe...we can do it for each other. That's what friends are supposed to do--support each other when we can't get through something on our own.

[Korra smiles, though Rose probably can't see it.]

Kal's a smart guy. You should probably listen to him.

[bokator]

Maybe we should make a club. I'll forgive you if you forgive me.

[ There's no way it's that easy for either of them, but Rose doesn't mind pretending. Sometimes the illusion that sustained you was better than the truth. ]

[ Teasing, ] He's a grownup. They don't know anything.

[braavado]

I kind of like the sound of that.

[Even if it doesn't work, at least they'll know they have the support. That's what counts in the end.

And then she's grinning.]

Right, I forgot. They just like pretending they know things. But we know the truth.

[bokator]

We sure do.

[ She finally breaks the hug, and bumps Korra's shoulder. Here's where she'd make a snide remark to undermine the fact that she just showed physical affection to somebody, but she doesn't feel the need. Korra forgives her. Korra's a friend. ]
