"Don't you dare say that I do care about you I've been by your side for two years, and the family I thought you were happy enough when I said that you were apart of our family mine Luke's and jakes. You've never been shunned you were far from it at that school." His grip tightened on her shoulders, "your no monster either never say that never think that. He took a deep breath, his gaze finally dropping to the floor. "Being in Freedom is wrong they would destroy entire races just to have a world full of humans. They would kill me......my brothers......Korra and sera none of us would survive it. I care about you don't think otherwise." Letting to of her shoulders, he bent down and picked up the necklace he was glad the clasp didn't break. Putting it around his neck again, "the only reason I still fight and don't give in is because of you."
