[And she reaches out to touch his bare arm, turn him around.]

Zuko... [And she'll wait until he turns before she speaks, but she doesn't drop her hand.] What he said was wrong, so I'm not going to try to apologize for it, or make excuses. I don't understand why he'd say something that needlessly cruel, he's not usually like that. So if he does try to make it right, give him a chance, okay?

[Her gaze flickers to look directly at his scar, and she lifts her hand to touch it lightly, her gaze returning to his as she does.]

You're so much more than this. It's part of you, but it doesn't define you.

[She doesn't know how else to say all that's in her heart, a tangle of confusion and protectiveness towards both of them, and affection and - friends. She shakes her head, her lips pressed firmly together, her gaze intent on him.]

I just see Zuko when I look at you.
