[How would you know? You don't know the first thing about me! But she doesn't have enough self-pity to say that either.
A different person would sit up, smile at him, tell him he's right and change the conversation, then politely break off later so she could have some much needed alone time. But if there is one thing Katara is when it comes to her emotions, her beliefs, and her friends it's completely genuine. She can say 'everything will be all right' and mean it in the direst circumstances because she believes it, and if she doesn't believe it wholeheartedly she believes that they at least have the power to make it so.
And right now the only thing she is genuinely is miserable and full of sour self-recrimination. She can feel the hot tears in the corner of her eyes and she really doesn't want to cry in front of him, doesn't want to talk about it, doesn't want to do anything, really.]
Congratulations on your win. [I hope it didn't bore you too much. I'm sure you'll laugh about it later.] Now go away, Shikamaru.
