[If Jack ever decided to form a cheerleading team for whatever reason, Bolin would be first pick at cheer squad leader for sure. Hope you like pom-poms.]
If they're hiding, no doubt it's because of the party pooper squad complaining about a little positivity. I can't even begin to tell you how many people got angry at me for openly offering help. If I try to be a little more private about it, it won't get to everybody and I'm not about to only offer help to one side. There's plenty on both sides who want no part of this and I need them all to know they're not alone.
[Maybe that's a bit more of what he wanted to convey in that message. That it's okay to walk away from this.]
But you're right. They're out there, probably more than they're willing to admit. But if they actually do something about it, maybe we can do something about this war.
That's why it was great that you went over the lockets about it! With all this heavy stuff coming up, there are probably a lot of people who've been feeling stuck. Knowing there's at least someone out there who has their back is gonna mean a lot. [ People stuck in situations they didn't want to be in, with no way to get themselves out of it? He knows that feel. An outstretched hand can just about mean the world to someone. ]
If you need anywhere to take people, I'm a Champion of Redgate, so I think I can help get them set up there. And if anyone's willing to do repairs or anything, they'd probably be really glad to have them.
Yeah, I've sent a bunch of natives over to Redgate earlier this month. Not exactly my personal favorite haven, but if we've got a Champion over here, then I'll keep the place in mind. [The anti-magic set up is a real bother.]
But really, I appreciate you coming forward, Bolin. We need more people like you.
[ At least it keeps people on pretty even footing. Unless they're Reynard or they're really big into the Shard-using... thing. But that's none of bolin's business.jpeg at this juncture in time. All he knows is, he trusts the place because people were nice to him and he at one point stole dogs from the city. ]
It grows on you after a while. [ Then again, it's not hard for things or people to grow on him. Maybe it's more like he grew on them. ] Anyway, it's really no problem. Just let me know if there's anything you need. I mean, if you need like a bolt of magic lightning or a metalbender or something, I won't actually be able to help you, but if there's anything you need that isn't impossible for me, I'm there.
Oh, really? Well, darn, a metalbending lightning bolter is exactly the thing I was looking for. How unfortunate. Looks like I can't hire you after all, Mr. Bolin.
[He cracks a laugh. Mainly because he still needs to with everything going on.]
You're doing plenty already. Don't worry. I'll seek you out when the time comes.
