"Hello Koh."

"It's been too long, old friend."

Katara recoiled at the way Koh stressed the word friend. It reminded her of how Sokka would suck on a juicy strip of meat, eager to bleed every last morsel of flavor from the spiced flesh.

"We'll speak again soon, but now we must be going."

"So soon? Why don't you stay? Someone would like to say hello."

Katara cringed, knowing whose face Koh wore now. She couldn't see Zuko like that again.

"Later." Aang interjected smoothly.

"Of course, Avatar, sooner than you think." Koh smiled terribly. "Do take care, Fire Lord."
