I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at there, since I generally dedicated most of my attention to convincingly pretending I was listening to him when he started on about spiritual matters rather than actually listening to him. But honestly, the logical conclusion I can come to isn't particularly surprising to me, either.

[ Not surprising. Maybe more because of the fact that she doubts he would have told much to anyone including Tarrlok. Might as well explain better now when she got started and this is about one from his tribe either way... ]
The Avatar Spirit sharing this body with me is actually the spirit of peace and light. Her name is Raava.
[Judging by Korra's tone, she thinks Raava is totally a m a z i n g in her completely unbiased opinion.
But then she takes a deep breath before she continues and her tone changes back to dead serious.]
Raava has her darkness and chaos counterpart, his name is Vaatu and they have their eternal fight of the fate of the world.
The first Avatar locked Vaatu away into the Tree of Time in the Spirit World during the Harmonic Convergence of his time and coincidentally my time happened to also have a Harmonic Convergence... So my uncle decided that he wanted to become the new spiritual thing, the Dark Avatar. We had a fight, Vaatu got free from his prison, they fused together... Let's just say it went so well that he didn't even look like a human anymore.

[all criminals are scum.]
Maybe so. I'd hope I'm not the only competent individual with an interest in the rule of law here.

Oh, I see.
[Tarrlok nods along... though, really, this "spiritual cosmology of the world" business isn't his wheelhouse at all. He probably should pay attention, though, because he'd rather think about that than spend any more time thinking about all the stuff Korra dumped on him about his future, which... this change of subject has caused him to cool off a bit, but he's still wrestling with the idea of whether to actually believe it or not.]
Honestly, given how much of a penchant he had for backstabbing, I'm not particularly surprised he tried to backstab basically the entire world. If anything, I'm kind of surprised he didn't try and stab this Vaatu in the back...

[Cooling off is good, apparently talking about her stupid uncle is a good way for both of them to cool off... For now.]
He might have tried to backstab Vaatu on the wrong moment too for all I know and that's why they looked so different than me and Raava... [That wouldn't surprise her, not that Raava is anything like her counterpart in anything else than similar looks.] But most likely that's just showing him that he went way too far in his greed for power. Oh, but he backstabbed his so called friends at the Red Lotus by letting them go to prison while he covered all of his involvement with them to do the whole Dark Avatar thing later.

...you know, I would say “He was involved with that?” and try to pretend I was shocked, but no. I can actually believe he was teamed up with that bunch and then threw them into a busy intersection because it suited him better. I think the only way you could surprise me would be if you said he sacrificed his life for his children or something, which I am absolutely sure he didn’t do.
[Admittedly, Tarrlok had only gotten really vague details about that whole thing in the first place since it was supposed to be pretty hush-hush, but like. Damn, Unalaq.
...
Actually, you know what, now he’s curious.]
So I’m sure you learned about the big scandal that happened with your father at some point, right? Was that a setup? There were a lot of rumors about it being a setup, but it wasn’t exactly the sort of thing you wanted to gossip too loudly about or try to dig into if you actually wanted to achieve anything.

You could always give me a reason to impress you, you know.

That's bait.
[It's said more to himself because boy does he ever want to do a violence right now, but.]
Granted, all you've done is talk yourself up and threaten me for a second. I've actually given you a taste of what I can do.

Oh, it absolutely isn't. But why would I show my hand right here? This is a festival. I'm here to look at trees, not hassle low-level thugs trying to ruin my day.
Actually, it's your chance to take down an executive.
[Low-level thug? Him? Even when he was a kid, part of a street gang, he wasn't low level. They'd taken over section of the city thanks to him.]
But sure, if you want to run away while you can, go ahead. Enjoy the trees.

[....DON'T SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT NOW HE REALLY WANTS TO TAKE THE BAIT]
There's nothing proving you're not all talk, you know. And I will enjoy the trees.
[ANGRILY.... WAVES... AS HE WALKS OFF... god he's so tired of being nice, he just wants to go apeshit.]

Ah, forgive me for not introducing myself sooner.
[He inclines his head in a slight bow.]
My name is Tarrlok. It's been fun talking with you, as well.

Yes, I agree. I’d imagine this place must experience peace and quiet sometimes.
[he’ll get up to leave, then!]
[he’ll get up to leave, then!]
Yes, so long!

Well, I think my world's a pretty happy medium, so it probably isn't the same as yours. We like our very specific color coding.
[...says the man wearing varying shades of blue.]
I think I could get used to it if there was a little more moderation, but I do agree that greys and beiges are incredibly boring.
