Kaya was absentmindedly braiding Nokosi's hair, listening to the conversation herself. What she'd said had been mostly for Billy's benefit: he hadn't, after all, been raised in quite the same circumstances.

"I agree with Billy, at least when it comes to killing animals needlessly. That said, we definitely did kill animals for food and for clothing and pelts. You really have no choice, after all. I just don't agree with killing them for fun. If you're going to kill, you ought to use every part of the animal for clothes and food and all."

She was definitely not a vegetarian though. That was more Aang's thing.
