"At least you're still good at something," Korra says with a sigh, bringing her palm up to her forehead and rubbing hard in frustration, as though stimulating her brain enough might help to bring the rest of her bending back. So far, nothing. So far, even controlling the air around them is an almost Herculean task, limited to small bursts that she occasionally manages to punch out. "What good am I to this place? Can't read, can't cook, can't use these machines that are all over the place, can't even bend."
Her lips purse, arms crossing over her chest as her head tilts. "You know, I still don't like how we're forced to keep quiet about our bending. It's like... everything that I'm afraid that Republic City would have become under Amon. Only a few benders left, and all of them too afraid to show the world what they can do. Bending is awesome. And yeah, it sucks that not everyone can do it, I guess, but just because that not everyone can do an awesome thing doesn't mean that everyone should keep quiet about it, right? Ugh. Do you really think that we'd get in a ton of trouble if we used a bit of it? It could help us get work, right? I mean. If I ever manage to control my airbending."
