Scramble
Zuko doesn't know how to react. Ever since the fire arch caught her off balance, she hasn't moved.
He cautiously walks over to the fallen bender and notes the blend of shock and confusion.

After days of badgering him about Mai, Zuko only mentions the word "Avatar" and Katara is knocked down.
She scrambles to get up. Zuko backs away, grinning.
