Sokka steered out of Jet's forest – the right direction now. It was a relief to leave Jet behind, to know that Sokka was again their group's leader.
The air swirled; Aang settled lightly on Appa's head. "Do you want to go back with Katara?" he offered. "I can steer."
Sokka relinquished the reins and shifted over, reluctant to leave, but not wanting admit his relief at having the others back on his side.
Luckily, Aang did it for him. "It's good to be together again," he said with characteristic openness.
Sokka scoffed, but smiled as he climbed into the saddle.
Ahh, Sokka. I imagine him still thinking of himself as their leader, despite Katara's disdain.
