My nephew has always been stubborn.
From the time he was a young boy, to Ba Sing Se, he has always refused to listen to others.
For a while, I thought no one would ever be able to tame him.
But then we met the Avatar, the earthbender, the young warrior,
and his sister.
Katara. The waterbender. Such a sweet girl.
It was always amusing to watch her and Zuko argue.
Over anything.
Everyday.
Eventually, though, the fighting became talking. And that became laughing.
Which surprised me. He hardly ever laughs.
So I wasn't shocked when she told me, in confidence, that she loves him.
She can be very stubborn too. For weeks, I watched the two of them stare at each other like sick puppies.
The others? Well, the Avatar was oblivious. He's a sweet boy, but as dense as a walnut.
I think her brother suspected something. I once heard him threatning to disfigure my nephew if Zuko laid a hand on her.
Toph knew. Funny how the blind girl saw what was going on better than all of us, including Zuko and Katara.
Finally, I was so bored witht both of them, I talked to him
"Zuko."
"Hmm?"
"Why don't you tell her?"
"..I don't know what you're talking about."
I sighed. Stubborn boy.
"Katara."
"Tell Katara what?"
"Oh, come on, nephew!"
He rose from the knife he was sharpening and looked at me. I sighed again and pointed to her.
"Just trust me."
I look up from the fire and see her sleeping, his arm around her waist.
His eyes meet mine and he gives me a smirk.
Silly, stubborn Zuko. I'm glad he finally listened, for once.
