During his time searching for the Avatar, Zuko found himself thinking of other people he had met in his travels. Mostly, his mind would drift to the Avatar's waterbending friend.
Aside from her pathetic brother, the girl had been the first person he;d seen upon arriving at the South Pole. The expression of fear she wore on that day seemed to be engraved in his memory, reappearing everytime he thought of her. He cousln't understand why. After all, she was no more than an obstacle to him.
Nonetheless, the prince's thoughts would often wander to one's of the peasant, and he began to find it increasingly irritating. He had only seen the girl a handful of times, so how was it that she was already a part of his thoughts?
Not long after he had begun chasing the Avatar, Zuko found the waterbender's necklace on an abandoned prison brig. The moment he saw it, he knew it was hers. He picked up the small trinket, examining its intricate design.
"I'll find you," he thought, closing his fist over it and looking out at the ocean.
