[Katara is not quite as good at interpreting Longshot-ese as his companions were, but that sounded more like resignation than like a determination to harm. She offers him a wan smile.]

Thanks, Longshot.

[...she can't believe she's actually protecting Zuko. A few weeks ago, that was the furthest thing from her mind. It's amazing what pouring your life into healing someone can do. Besides, for her the fact that he was Fire Nation was never as important as who he was and what he'd done... and that held true for anyone, though there would probably always be that cringe before she was able to look a Fire Nation soldier in the eye and acknowledge them as a person. Some of this hesitancy shows on her face... then she reaches out and touches Longshot's shoulder for a moment.]

Don't think that just because he's here it means you're not welcome. I understand if you don't want to be around him, but he's... surprising. He's so weak right now you could sneeze at him and knock him down, but he still got up to help Sokka when he heard him yell out the other day. I understand if you don't want to be around him, but...

[She looks to the ground for a long moment before looking back up at Longshot.] ...he's not evil anymore.
