"It isn't just strong feelings," Katara said, even though most of it was, of course. "Aang is the person I wish could be: unspoiled, caring, willing to help people if they ever get into trouble. I know myself already: I'm a bit of an idealist, and I like to believe that people will do the right thing because the wrong thing hurts others. When it comes down to it though, I will do what I have to when it comes to someone that will cause genuine harm to others. Aang would try to find a way to help them without hurting anyone. He reminds me of all the good things in the world that I'm still trying to cinvince myself exists. I know that they do, thanks to him."

She was quiet a moment, and it was clear that what she had for Aang was far beyond a crush or just a passing infatuation. She genuinely loved him.

Katara nodded. "They will keep an eye on her, whatever she's doing. If its Roxie, its bound to be pretty dangerous."
