[He's still acting like his usual self, for now - very confident, turning up the charm.]

I'm still accepting more nominations for council, and as far as a public forum goes I think we should have one sometime within the week.

[He pauses, and his expression becomes more serious.]

But, I'm afraid I have some more dire news to break right now.

There is a man here who calls himself Nanuq, and he says he's a healer from Republic City. This is a lie. He is from my home world, and went under the name Amon there. He was a wanted criminal, leader of a terrorist organization, and he is very dangerous.

If you don't want to trust me on this matter, there are others from my world who will probably testify to what a threat he is. I'm not suggesting that anyone attack him, but use caution when dealing with him and know that he's been presenting a false identity, and this is not the first time he's done so.

[Tarrlok looks downward for a few seconds, hesitant about what he's going to say next.]

His real name is Noatak. He is my brother. I wasn't aware of this until very recently. For that reason, I ask that you please bring issues concerning him to my attention, if at all possible, and I will deal with it.

I'm not saying you can't use self-defense, but...if it is something that doesn't require immediate attention, please let me know.

Thank you.

He saved my life!

[SCREW YOU BUDDY.]

I'm not saying he's never done anything good, but he has been lying about his identity, and he was a major threat.

Regardless of what he's done, he's been lying to everyone, and I thought you should know.

He didn't lie to me.

[He actually told her his real name, mostly because seeing a flying blond woman kind of broke him.]

Can you tell me more about him? What he looks like, special skills, etc?

[He's hesitant to give too much away to an anonymous source, but some stuff should probably be public information.]

He is water tribe, like I am. A bit shorter, with short hair. He's a waterbender, which means he can control water. He's also a bloodbender, which means...well, I'm sure you can work that out.

He had an entire revolution behind him at home, and is alone here, so the danger is not as great. But it would be best to be careful.

I'll be fine.

What kind of revolution?

[... oh. Yue is shocked, though admittedly she's not sure why. The few times she spoke to Nanuq - no, Noatak - he seemed like a kind enough person. It's difficult to believe that he was a criminal, but really, she barely knew a thing about him. That doesn't make it any less of a surprise, though.]

I see. Thank you for informing us, Tarrlok.

You're welcome. Have you had any contact with him, yet?

I've spoken to him several times, yes. Though he seemed kind enough whenever we were together... I have to admit, this news is surprising.

What?

[The word is half-hissed and man oh boy this lady does not sound pleased. The same man who--

But he'd healed her. Just after the storm. She can still remember the way the water felt on her face and how readily she'd accepted his story about being a healer from Republic City.

Well, if he saw bending as a disease, he'd hardly lied, had he? She'd just fallen for it. A moment's vulnerability and she'd fallen for it again. Just like she had with her father... and even Mako, although he at least hadn't actually meant her any malice.

Her expression is hard and her hands - out of view of the camera - are fists, fingernails biting little half-moon shapes across her palms.

After a moment, she breathes.

No.

Amon is a liar. A poison. She's not going to let him change who or how she is. This isn't going to make her any less inclined to trust strangers.

But it sure makes her angry. What had he wanted from her? Why had he even bothered to heal her? There had to be something in it for him.]

Where is he, Councillor?

He was at my suite the other day, where he confessed his identity. I told him I was going to do this so he's probably laying low right now.

That wasn't my--

[She stops herself, makes a very visible attempt at controlling her anger.]

What sort of threat do you believe he poses at the moment?

That could have gone worse for the both of us.

Yes, it could have.

It still can. [If you don't stay out of trouble, bro.]

I'm keeping up my end of our...arrangement. Barring this correspondence I've been no more intrusive than a shadow on the wall.

[After going through all the other responses, Steph really only has one thing she wants to ask about.]

Is there a way to counteract the 'blood bending' ability this man possesses?

[Because the thought of it makes her feel sick, honestly. That someone can control another's blood, and this is coming from a person who comes from a world with mind control.]

Not as far as I know.

Wonderful.

Is there a distance limit?

[Also an important question, she hopes the answer is 'yes']

[Cassandra's gaze is solemnly sympathetic.]

It's - hard. When it's...family.

Yes. It's something no one should have to go through.

Yes.

But maybe - it's good. That he's here.

Pretty words often lack the conviction of action behind them. What will you do with this man - your brother - if such action becomes necessary?

I will do whatever needs to be done.

Nanuq? [ Wasn't that... he met the guy his first day, didn't he? ] Huh.

You think you'll get anywhere with him if there are problems? Sounds like you went different ways a while ago. [ One a politician and one a terrorist... probably a story there. Not that it's any of his concern. ]

Edited (forgot to specify format whoops) 2012-10-21 23:38 (UTC)

We did go different ways, many years ago. But I am quite sure I can get through to him more than anyone else here.
