"Yeah, it was," Katara said, looking a little wistful. "If he were still here, I'm sure he would have been knee deep in engineering. He was already starting to learn a little about how things worked. And Lash is...pretty interesting, last I heard."

She laughed. "I help run the Outsiders, I still train in sword fighting and combat with Kang and Ronan, and get to train on my own. I barely have time to do something like that. It's something you have to devote a lot of yourself to. Besides, I'd rather learn about other people and their differences all on my own. If anyone from council needs help, I can try and lend a hand."

Especially if said Council member was Matt, but Katara left that part out.
