[After a while of just... enjoying someone else's (Aang's) presence during this time, Katara gets to the point where she'd almost be willing to talk about it... but. She's leaving the other Katara with enough of a mess, if everything she's learned about "her" relationship with Masaomi is true, and Aang... she doesn't want to burden him. It wouldn't be fair.
She doesn't want him to go, but... she doesn't want him to have to see her towards the end, or after the... change. She's not going to be able to contain her emotions, and the least she can do is keep from hurting him by not allowing him to see her in that kind of pain.
So she stops bending, streaming her water into the river, and turns to face him.]
Maybe you should head back now. It's getting pretty late.
