"Well, he just sees himself in a certain way. That changed a lot from how he used to be. It was his girlfriend that helped with that. Her name is Suki, and she's a Kyoshi warrior." She could get into who they are and what they do, but that was a long story, and would just go on too long.

Katara nodded vigorously. "Oh believe me, it can get a lot worse when he's the only companion besides someone you just recently connected with. I can say its been annoying, but I've also seen Sokka grow a lot. I guess when you're about to get captured or possibly killed, you can still count on your sibling to have your back."

And was really the only reason she wouldn't mind how protective he'd be later on. She would make sure he was never in danger either. The same applied to Mai and Zuko.

Where was he anyway?

"WOW," Katara said, but remembered something all too similar: the day of the black sun. The attack that started out so well: ruined when they attempted to take the Fire Nation by surprise. Azula kidnapped Suki and donned the disguise of a Kyoshi warrior and learned of the attack. Katara couldn't imagine the danger of a potion that would make you looka nd sound like someone else.

"I can't see that kind of potion as a good thing," Katara said. "He have some pretty twisted people in our world."
