It's okay. Zuko's just stepped in the doorway. To glare. He shakes his head quietly once, and then -- gestures. C'mon, he'll heat something for you to eat, you can sit on the couch.
...and he'll move over and quuuuuuuuuuuuuiteley move the sleeping Katara for you BECAUSE HEALING OR NOT YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS. Besides, he's -- not ungentle or anything. She doesn't even wake up once she's on the couch. Of course, this could be because she's EXHAUSTED, but hey.
HE leaves he behind and goes to 202, dragging Sokka with him by might of his will alone. No, really.
And Sokka's fine, if scarred and a little tired. Hotaru and Katara know their trade well enough and, really, he looks better than Katara does.
He also looks a little shirtless, glaring back at Zuko before he follows, picking the sheet off the cot to wrap around his shoulders because, conducive to Avatar canon, Sokka is never shirtless.
He glances back at Katara once more as they leave, hesitating in the doorway before he follows to 202. Just because he wants to eat.
Communal Apartmeent or not, Zuko shuts the door to it and goes into the kitchen to start heating things up in silence. He's not the domestic type, but he's a decent soldier, and a soldier that can't make himself a simple meal is often a dead one soon enough.
Eventually he comes back with slices of spam and beans and settles it before Sokka, and then sits down in a ratty, if somewhat plush, chair.
"When you can, I want you -- to tell me everything, Sokka," Zuko says quietly, and waits.
Yum, spam. Outside of this place, Sokka never would have touched it, but here? It looks damn tasty.
Still, with Zuko so silent and helpful and with that... offer, Sokka isn't quick to sit. He looks awfully hesitant, in fact, standing before the prince and eyeing the food, before he sighs quietly.
"What... do you want to know?" he asks quietly, and drags a chair over to settle down across from Zuko, sheet wrapped around his shoulders.
