To Billy's eyes, Katara looked like she needed some time with her close friends to recoup from all this.

With that thought in mind, he slipped through the crowd, maneuvered behind her, and left his thank-you gift: a small blue-wrapped package sitting nearby. It had no label except her name.

He didn't fully understand Waterbending abilities, but he hoped his gift would be useful to her. It was a long, slim blue belt decorated with a simple bead pattern. Inside, it contained a thin waterproof lining filled with a layer of melted snow.

It was intended to give her the ability to bend it, but he wasn't sure if waterbending worked that way. If it didn't, at least it was somewhat weighty and there was an emergency supply of water inside.

Thinking he was quite sneaky, he made to slip back into the crowd undetected.
