It will be a year in two months. How long have you been here?

[Video]

[markofthebrave]

[Her expression softens.] Your feelings are understandable. I know it's hard to remain here when you still have something to do back home, but in the meantime...we have to endure.

Are you busy right now? [Her voice takes on a mischievous tone.] I want to give you a hug.

[That takes Katara by surprise, and she laughs a little.]

No, I'm not busy right now.
