Kuri sat up in bed. "Zuko's coming."
"You really expect us to trust him?" Sokka asked.
"Just listen to Kuri!" Reiko demanded. "She knows Zuko better than anyone!"
"But he tried to kill me. A lot." Aang said.
"And isn't the Avatar all about redemption?" I yelled back. "Can't we accept him? We have to! You accepted me!"
"But you're good!" Sokka shot back. "Zuko's not!"
"YES HE IS!" Kuri yelled.
Zuko approached.
"Hi. Zuko here."
Xxx
Zuko hadn't expected her to stand up for him.
But Kuri wouldn't allow them to send him away. She pitched a righteous fit.
No one seemed to trust him, except Reiko and Kuri.
Aang seemed to reluctantly want to trust him.
He would have to teach the Avatar Firebending.
But for now...he curled up next to Kuri.
For now he had Kuri.
And that was enough.
He was redeemed.
