"Don't worry," Sokka said firmly. "Everything's under control."

Aang twitched. "But with Zuko and his men so near --"

"They're no threat. The ones that aren't lazing round and enjoying the heatwave are stripped half-naked and doing combat practice on the deck." He snorted. "Including Zuko."

"What about the old dude?"

"Sitting under an umbrella. Drinking tea."

"And where's Katara?"

"She borrowed the telescope to keep an eye on Zuko and his crew from the ledge up there. If anything happens, she'll tell us."

"Wow," Aang said. "She's really dedicated."

"She told me she wouldn't take her eyes off them."
