Well, that's... a lot to take in. Dinah listens intently, nursing her tea throughout it, watching Korra over the rim of the cup held in both hands. At first she's smiling, sharing Korra's frustration at 'do it all perfect;' understanding completely the impulse to just break out and do it anyway (Isn't that what she did herself at Korra's age?) and almost laughing at the idea of stopping gang members, because that's very familiar.
Her smile fades at the idea of 'Equalists' and she tries to make sense of it. It sounds like a social movement, but as she realizes it's a movement against benders, the frown eases slightly. No matter what Dinah thinks of it as a meta human herself, animosity against metas isn't exactly a new thing. The impression she got from Korra though was that bending was more than just meta powers, but something rooted in their culture. It makes sense, but it's not parallel to her own world.
At the mention of 'bloodbending,' Dinah opens her mouth, almost interrupts. 'Bloodbending' is a bad enough sounding world, but she can't really imagine what it is? Bending... blood? As Korra continues she makes the connection to waterbending the water in a human body, but she snaps back to the story at 'chi-blocking.' And there she presses her lips together, thinking of her own connection with the chi-blocking.
But it's the mention of kidnapping that forces her to lower her cup to the table, her hands shaking slightly with the effort of not clenching too hard on the hot cup.
She blinks a couple of times and takes the cracker.
"It must be pretty hard for you to be stuck here with him."
