#6- Born Another Gender

"What do you know about kids?"

"I can keep them safe," Jet lies, like breathing. What she can do, is keep them moving, keep them going, even when the food is bad and the winter's long and the weak-

Well, the weak don't last long. Or the sick. Or the small.

But this is Ba Sing Se, and Lin is the sturdiest kid she's ever seen, and Li's let Jin babysit every day this week. Jet picks and prods, and finally she's settled in with a hand for a shadow-puppet and an armful of happy toddler.

This is Ba Sing Se, and she will see to it that this city is kept safe, for those she cares about.
