No, it wasn't easy! What do you think I am?! [If she had more water, she'd just lock in with that fire stream and fight to see who'd get further, but she doesn't, so she lets it go and steps out of the way.]
Do you think I was happy to find out that everything I'd been feeling for you was a lie? I didn't even like you! [Most of the ice on his arm has melted off now, so Katara converts it into mist - not steam - and flings it up into his eyes to distract him so that she can draw some more water from the stream.] It was humiliating, and terrible, and I hate that it happened. But it wasn't your fault.
And if you'd come back we could have worked through it together! [Somehow. Even though she wasn't sure she'd have done anything other than tell him that she didn't love him and they'd never speak of this again. Nearly a month of helping him heal has let her get to know Zuko better than that one week of false love ever had, and now it's a relationship she'd fight to keep... then... who knows?]
