But it maybe it was something about how relieved she'd been that as soon as she spoke to him she knew she'd have someone to talk to, maybe it was the way that he consistently kept asking after her, but not in a way that made her feel that he was looking down on her - in a way that made her feel like he... cared. Maybe it was staring at their hands - his bigger one so close next to her smaller, darker one. But suddenly Katara is certain of her feelings, feelings that she's confused for friendship for so long... they were so deeper than that.
And she's not ashamed of the sudden - gladness that she feels. At least something good came of this mess. At least now she knows.
And then she glances up at him and gathers her courage, her hope showing clearly in her eyes.]
