For the rest of the day, we leave her alone. Zuko actually lends a hand with lunch and dinner, but the rest of the group keeps to themselves. We don't really have anything to say to each other.
When night falls, I hear something rustle outside our tent. Trying not to wake anyone else, I creep outside and join Aang and Sokka. We peer over a boulder to find Katara tying her hair back next to Appa.
"So you were just going to take Appa anyway?" the kid explodes.
"Yes," Katara hisses.
"It's okay," Aang smirks, "because I forgive you." He looks up at Katara and smiles. "That give you any ideas?"
"Don't try to stop me."
"I wasn't planning to."
Zuko walks out of our tent to stand by Katara. He and I had already said our good-bye.
"This is a journey you need to take," Aang continues. "You need to face this man. But when you do, please don't choose revenge. Let your anger out and the let it go. Forgive him"
Katara climbs onto Appa.
"Okay, I'll be sure to do that," Katara snorts. "Thanks for trying. Yip-yip!" she snaps Appa's reins and they take off.
"You know," Sokka puts an arm around Aang's shoulder. "You're pretty wise for a kid."
"Thanks Sokka," the Avatar responds.
"Usually it's just annoying, but right now, I'm just impressed."
Aang narrows his eyes. "I appreciate that."
Sokka rubs his neck. "So can I borrow Momo for a week?"
"Why do you need Momo?" I whip my head towards Sokka.
He just laughs and shrugs.
