They were surrounded for miles in every direction. Each and every possible escape route was blocked, and every clever plan they thought of backfired. Years later, she would absolutely deny it, but that moment had absolutely terrified her. They were outnumbered and outgunned (at least) twenty to one, and with only Zuko and herself to protect them.
Then he grabbed her hand and gave it a tight squeeze. “Don’t worry, Katara.” He said smugly, a clever little smirk planted on his face. “I’ll save us from the pirates.”
When they got out of there alive, she was sure to beat that smug little smile right off his face.
He didn’t mind.
