[ Rose grins, mischievously, it fades as Korra continues. ]

Yeah, how creepy is that. [ a beat ] I mean, obviously they have a vested interest in making sure we don't get sick, but dying's fine?

[braavado]

I think that's changed...maybe. Since whatever was reviving people isn't working anymore.

No one from Yao corp's bothered to show up since Kite was killed, though. I guess it's too much to hope that they're too busy squabbling over who gets to fill in his spot to bother us for a while.

[bokator]

It'll keep them busy for a little while.

[ But that means whatever comes, when it does, it'll be bad. Rose sits up. ]

Come on, let's not worry about that right now.

[braavado]

[Korra follows suit, straightening up.]

To be honest... I was sort of worried about the uh, baby thing, too. I guess that's why I sort of...reacted when you asked.

[Because it was on her mind and all.]

[bokator]

[ She gets a playful nudge. ]

Hey, I don't blame you. There's no way to get adequate protection around.

[braavado]

[Korra pauses.]

Actually... my friend said she could do something with her magic, make some charms that could help with that? I'm still getting the metal for the charms, but I could get one for you if you wanted.

[bokator]

[ Her first reaction, instant and visceral, is no - no, nothing that changes her in a way she doesn't understand and can't control, no, never again. ]

[ She takes a shaky breath. ]

No, thanks.

[braavado]

[The reaction isn't one that's easily missed. Korra immediately shifts closer.]

Bad experience?

[bokator]

[ Rose closes her eyes, and then she leans against Korra's shoulder. She has one friend, an unacceptable weakness, but sometimes they were necessary. If you wanted to be human. She's not sure she has the right to that word - she doesn't even believe her own redemptive story a lot of the time - but she made a promise to Korra. Rose or Ravager, she keeps her word. ]

Yeah. Even if it can't screw with you, you keep thinking about all the ways it could. I'll manage.

[braavado]

[Korra wraps an arm around Rose's shoulder and leans her head against her friend's. It's easier for Korra, being close to Zatanna like she is, but Rose doesn't have that kind of reassurance.]

Sorry... I thought it would help. Is it... all kinds of magic?

[bokator]

It's okay.

[ It's okay not to lash out. It's okay to admit weakness to friends. ]

You don't really know how something'll affect you til you think about it, yeah?

[braavado]

Yeah...I guess not.

[Korra can see how Rose would be leery of anything that she wasn't familiar with, after what had happened with her father and the drug.]

Maybe the library will have something, another way to get around this.

[She wants Rose to have some happiness, too, okay.]

[bokator]

Maybe, but don't worry about it too much, all right?

[ She's still not sure what to do with someone worrying for her like this. ]

[braavado]

Well...if you're sure. Worrying is just something friends do, though.

[Pointedly giving Rose another hug before she finally lets go.]
