Jamie nods solemnly. "It's not wrong to learn new things." He's a big proponent of that, actually. "But ye have a rare gift, Katara of the Southern Water Tribe. I think it will be of help to ye when ye need it."

After a pause, he continues cheerfully, "Although I do wish I could go with your group. Even if it'll be dangerous, it'd be exciting to see more of the ship."

Despite the words, there's a niggling little sense of unease that has been with him for a little while now. When Katara mentions people getting hurt, something of the feeling can be seen briefly in his eyes. He attempts to hide it with a wry smile. "Still. When ye get back, ye can tell us all about it, aye?"
