The Legend Of Korra Book 5: Rebellion

---Tenzins POV---

The meeting had run far longer than Tenzin had expected. By the time he would make it back to Air Temple Island he knew that Pema and the children would be fast asleep. He sighed and rubbed his temples. If there was a next time, he would know not to put Wu, Suyin and Lin in the same room together ever again. He glanced at President Raiko, who appeared to be extremely close to nodding off and was surely thinking the same thing.

"There won't be a trial because we aren't going to give her one," Lin said. "What is the point? All of the evidence has already been presented to us, and we're the ones who would trial her!"

"I know it doesn't make sense to you, but I still want to try meeting with Kuvira," Suyin sighed. "She apologized to me after Korra rescued her. I feel like we owe her the respect of a fair trial in order to come to the best conclusion about her sentencing."

Wu slapped one hand on the table and covered his face with the other. "How is it that we owe respect to a woman who tried to kill all of us with a giant mecha robot and also ruined my coronation?"

"I have to agree with Wu," Tenzin said tiredly.

"Me too," Raiko said. "There are not enough benefits given the effort it would take to present a full trial. Not to mention, Kuvira has already accepted whatever punishment we see fit. She does not need to be offered a defence."

Suyin was silent for a moment. "All right," she said finally, "So no trial. What then, is the sentence?"
