Tahno hadn't meant to be cruel about the situation. He just wanted to get out before Tenzin had the chance to kill him.

Tenzin flung himself out of the study, towards Tahno. "What do you mean!?" She is only thirteen years old, Tahno! How could you even think like that!?"
"Sir, I do not plan to be with a thirteen year old. I just want to know that when she is of age, that I can have her. I do not want this to go by without even saying I tired."
Tenzin had the same angry look on his face the day that Amon had attacked the bending arena. Slowly, He started to back away. "I will gladly talk to Jinora about it. I am sure that she will not be that upset. She is entering adolescence, after all. It's now legal." Tahno said.
"No! You listen to me, Tahno! Jinora is my daughter! I will do what I believe is best for her, and this imprinting will not take place!"
Tahno stared at Tenzin. He had much respect for him, but he believed that he was overreacting with far too much aggression. "Tenzin, please."
"I wonder what the avatar will think of this! Korra! Come here now!" Tenzin yelled.
Korra appeared within an instant. Mako and Bolin followed right behind her. "Yes, Tenzin?"
"Korra, dear, Have you heard of any new legalization of imprinting on a child?"
Korra wrinkled her nose. "No. I haven't went back to Republic City yet, so I would not be aware of any new laws. I myself, think imprinting is sick."
Tenzin looked coldly at Tahno. "It seems that Tahno does not. He has imprinted on Jinora."
The avatar was in his face within a second. "Excuse me!? Jinora is just a young girl! Are you sick?! Insane?! What is wrong with you!?" Korra slammed into him. Earth bending. "You are sick, Tahno! I will kill you before I let you have Jinora!"
"Avatar! Please hear what I have to say about the situation!"
Mako walked over to them, He looked for a minute, like he didn't know if he wanted to help Tahno, but then, He pulled Korra back. "Stop it, everyone!" Mako yelled. "Has anyone ever thought to ask Jinora what she would think of being imprinted on?"
"I do not want her to know about this, because it will not take place in my lifetime!" Tenzin yelled.
"Daddy?" Jinora looked puzzled.
Tenzin flung himself around, to face his daughter. "Jinora!" He scooped her up in his arms. He hadn't held her in so long, and now, she felt like a baby again.
"Tahno, please don't imprint on her. She's just a child."
"Imprint? I read about that in a book," Jinora said cheerfully.
Korra pushed her hair out of her face. "And what do you think of it?"
Jinora looked at the small crowd. "I think it's so romantic, but I'm not sure I want Tahno to imprint on me."
