Summary
“Why are you looking for medicine in the middle of the night?” Katara seeks out Zuko’s face again, but it’s simply a vague outline in the dark. There’s no reply. She forges ahead, regardless, genuine worry mounting.
“Zuko, what’s-” She’s cut off by a sound halfway between a sob and a frustrated snarl. Katara wastes no more time, striding straight up to the shadowy figure and groping for his arm in the dark.
“Zuko, give me a light, now.”
“Katara, just go.”
“Now.” Throughout this unexpected encounter, Katara has been whispering, but now she injects command into her voice. The single word brokers no argument, and Zuko doesn’t give her one.

Summary
Between another failed assassination attempt and the total loss of his firebending, Zuko’s life is a mess.
The only thing keeping him grounded is Katara; even if her “healing techniques" are making it impossible for him to remain sane.

Summary
Katara has spent four years learning to read Zuko: the real smile versus the diplomatic one, what his silences mean, the exact weight of the things he doesn't say. She is very good at it. Katara is, somehow, completely unable to read what that says about her. Neither can Zuko. It takes a Fire Nation noble, a Water Tribe ambassador, and Toph's complete lack of patience to finally make them look.
