Korra gives her all the time in the world to get the words out while she's gently petting her hair and back to try to make her feel at least a little better there.

She really wishes she could do something about those footsteps. Lead her inside a building, maybe? They would still hear them, no doubt about that, but maybe they'd at least quiet down some. She cloees her eyes for a moment. Just... hearing those words and Asami so sad is really heartbreaking.

"Don't be scared. I'm right here with you and that thing there is not going get past me to do anything to you."

That's easy to say, even if she realizes that that's not all Asami means if it's even anything she means by that. Just hearing those footsteps reminds Korra of that day too, and the moment of watching what happens and being unable to do anything about it.

"...And if you want to talk about him and need someone to listen and try to make you understand as much as anyone else can about what to think -- or what you think, about him... I'm right here. For you." Because Asami sure sounds like this talk should happen and Korra can at least try to help as much as she can.

She's actually just going to tighten her hold too and stay close to her.
