"You should always beware a cornered woman," Iroh had once told his nephew, "she will do anything to win." Zuko had done the same thing with this piece of advice as he did with most of his uncle's conversation: ignored it. A mistake, as it turned out.
"Hah, I finally have you, Avatar!" Zuko gloated as he held a blade to Aang's throat. "Neither of you move." He threatened the other two. He had finally managed to sneak into their base and capture the Avatar whilst he slept. The other two had been bathing, and unable to defend their friend. Aang slowly stood up, the kiss of metal against his throat stopping him from attacking.
"Such a pity I have to leave," Zuko smirked at the still-wet Katara and Sokka. Sokka didn't even have his boomerang – they had been drying themselves when Aang's shout had alerted them, "but I'm afraid I have a home to return to." He turned to leave, when:
"Hey Zuko, look over here!" Katara shouted, and dropped her towel. In the brief, vastly educational, moment that followed Zuko didn't even register Aang knock his knife away, nor the smack of hardening water against his temple.
"Sure you saved Aang's life," Sokka said, as he tied up the unconscious prince, "but for the love of god, never do that again."
Katara merely blushed.
