[It was probably the weakest of all counters she could come up with, but it had the benefit of actually being true. She was breathing. And while, in the back of her mind, she knew that Korra and the others would be taking care of Kon as well, hearing Kal say it aloud really cemented the notion further in her mind.]
[She wasn't the only person who could help him. She didn't want to be. That was way too much responsibility.]
