[waterbends]

Were those the only people you killed? The ones to turn back time?

No. I took up with Pandora- an agency dedicated to policing contracts like the one I used to be a part of.

[waterbends]

Then for part of your job with Pandora, you have to.. ?

Stop the exact sort of situation I caused when I was twenty.

[waterbends]

Is that still what you do? At home, I mean.

[waterbends]

[She's not looking at him. Boiling rice takes a lot of concentration, apparently.]

The way you talked to me yesterday. The way you - said things, you made it sound like -

I was scared of you.
