I didn't know you --

[ but then katara hugs him, and he immediately stops talking, a little startled. he's been running on adrenaline for the past week and has generally avoided people touching him. he refused to have ino heal him because he didn't trust her enough, and now katara is hugging him, and has she hugged him since he's been here? the last time was probably adstringendum -- right? probably.

but the hug is comforting, and suddenly zuko is struck with the sudden urge to hug her back, and then katara squeezes him a little tighter, and --

-- ow. ]

Katara --

[ omggg she's just going to bicker at him for not telling her about the kick to the ribs. and he doesn't really feel like undoing his shirt so she can heal everything, and so zuko draws in a breath and lets it out quietly, looping his arms loosely around her for a hug.

whatever. he can just tolerate it. ]

[ he gets off lucky this time: when she feels him freeze, she assumes it's because he's surprised, not because he's in pain. she lingers for a moment when he returns the embrace. with the way people came and went in adstring and paradisa - with the way they seem to come and go here - she should probably take the time to appreciate the people she has with her more often.

but she does back off after a moment, fixing him with a quiet smile. ]

Did you need anything else?

[ he has a laundry list of things he needs, but nothing katara can magically procure now. and so he lets her go, awkwardly crossing his arms over his chest, in order to do something with his hands. ]

No.

{ just sleep, he thinks. ]
