Bolin and Tahno both looked at Jinora. Was she being serious?
"Tahno is great and all, but I just don't think we connect. I really like the idea of imprinting though."
"Jinora, please, Stop talking such nonsense!" Tenzin looked at his daughter with such angry that Jinora wanted to shrink away to the darkest corner. "You are thirteen years old. You will not be imprinted on by any boy!"
"Daddy, Stop. I'm not planning to be with anyone right now. Imprinting is a sweet idea, and I would love for someone to imprint on me."
"You don't know anything about love, child!" Tenzin yelled.
Jinora ran away from her dad, and away from the guy that suddenly felt something for her. Tahno had always been so crude. She didn't know if she could possibly love him.
Tahno watched Jinora pass back and forth on the ledge. "Jinora..."
She jumped. "Oh. Hi, Tahno."
"I'd like to talk to you if you do not mind," He said slowly.
Jinora nodded. She had to at least hear him out.
"Okay. I know in the past I wasn't a very kind person, but when Amon took my bending I started to realize lot of things. Like the importance of life, and friendship, and love. Now, I'm not saying I love you right now. You're only a child, but I'm very interested in you, so I have an idea."
"You weren't kind. I always believe people can change though, Tahno. I guess I could listen to you at least," said Jinora.
"Well, Maybe I am the person for you. I haven't spent time with you ever, and I really believe we could get alone. So maybe, for the time being, we could spend time together and then you could make up your mind about me. If you don't love me, or even feel interested, I will leave and never bother you and your family again."
Jinora didn't know what to think. It sounded almost to good to be true. I mean it was Tahno, but then again, I suppose having your bending taken from you and being knocked down to size could change a person.
"I'm not perfect, but I'll try to be the best I can be."
Jinora nodded at the thought. "I know that Tahno. I will give you a chance. I'm not promising anything, so please don't expect me to fall in love or anything. I'm thirteen years old."
Tahno nodded. "Let's go then."
Jinora walked past Tahno, and got back to the small hilltop house, where her father and Korra were waiting for her. "Jinora, you will not be with Tahno. I don't know if I should even allow you to leave your room!" Tenzin grabbed her, pulling her towards the house.
"Stop it, Dad! You couldn't stop it even if you wanted too. It's legal now!"
"I can and I will!"
Korra looked so sad. "Jinora, you're like my little sister and I don't want to see you hurt by this. Tahno is much older than you and he may have changed, but as far as I know, he is not a very nice person. Please stop all this nonsense."
"I can make up my own mind about how I feel about Tahno!"
With that, Jinora ran into her room, slamming the door. Tenzin looked at Korra with worry as the lock clicked shut.
Korra swung the front door open. She ran with full speed at Tahno. He was knocked to the ground. "I hate you! You're sick! Nasty! I will kill you, Tahno! If it's the last thing I do!" She hit him with water, rocks, and air that a hurricane would be jealous off. Tahno couldn't even get up to take a shot back.
His ears wouldn't stop ringing. Tahno screamed out in pain. "Kor-" He started, but she wouldn't let him get it in. She would kill him!
Suddenly, a burst of wind hit her from behind, hard. She spun around. Who had done that?! She hissed as her vision came back into focus. Jinora stood there.
