The first thought Katara had when she saw Zuko was "We're all gonna die." The second thought was her wondering if he was ill. She had never seen skin so pale! Except maybe for the Avatar, but he had just spent the last hundred years in an iceberg, so that was really only to be expected. Zuko, once he had taken his helmet off, looked as if he had kissed death. For an instant she considered offering him some calcium or something, to stop him from passing out. Then she remembered that he had just beaten up her brother, and snapped her mind back to reality.
He marched forward and reached towards her. For one moment she thought he was going to kidnap her, and do all those bad things that Gran-Gran had told her boys did to girls who went adventuring alone. He was a powerful firebender, and he was going to take advantage of her! She flinched.
When he grabbed Gran-Gran and pulled her to his side she didn't know whether to be relieved, or miffed. Instead she settled for plain terrified.
