From behind the slatted cupboard door, Sokka watched the Prince of the Fire Nation. He knew that he should go down the stairs, following his sister and the Avatar. He should make sure that they are okay, and that they stay that way. He knew that Risha was probably completely capable of defending herself. There was something that didn't seem correct about the way that Risha seemed so confident in herself. She was smiling.

The first thought that crossed Sokka's mind was that Risha wanted to die. There she was. Smiling at the Prince of the Fire Nation. The son of the Fire Lord. She was probably standing there mocking him. Waiting to die. Buying time for Aang. Playing a small part in the attempt to save the world. That was the only thought to pass through his mind before he decided what to do.

Through the slatted door of the cupboard, Sokka saw flame go to Zuko's fist. Assuming the worst, he put the false back where it belonged and burst through the door; not noticing the flame that was in Risha's hand, too.

A/N: Ha, ha! Another short chapter! But seeing how it's Thanksgiving vacation, I'll probably end up updating tomorrow anyway. Don't worry, the next chapter isn't another short one. In other news, Zuko is now one of the Czechs. That's what spell checker told me.
