[He's... really not comfortable with Sokka knowing. Not because he doesn't think he can be trusted - he's kept quiet on giving him that list of names, after all - but because they don't know each other well enough to trust each other. There's very different perceptions of what's right, and what's wrong.

But all the same, he gets it. Everything he knows about Katara, and her relationship with her brother, points to it. And had it been some weighty secret from her world, and her in his shoes instead, wouldn't he feel the same way?]

I understand. [And at the same time, he can't let it happen.] ...and I'm sorry you were put in this position in the first place. It's unfair to you.

[And there is just a touch of contempt in the last sentence, because even if Law knew, why would he do that? It's not as if Katara regularly runs into Itachi - and the last time she did involved special circumstances.

It would've been enough to let them both go on their way. You don't need to stir a pot when the water's cool. And now it puts him in a position he didn't want to be in either, though if it happened he'd always expected it would be with someone from home.]

This was a secret for a reason, though. Can you at least take more time to consider it?
