"I'm right here, thanks." Mai shot a pithy response at the Chief as she shouldered her way through the crew towards Zuko, "...and I'm fine, Zuko, aside from a few bruises. You should know I can handle myself. You look OK, at least." She folded her arms, mouth pressed into a thin line. She wasn't going to start mothering him out here in front of everyone. She'd die of embarrasment. And so would Zuko.

As she spoke she was subtly (she hoped) examining him for any signs of damage. And at least he wasn't a controller (right?).
