And he has no background with bending. I'd be surprised if he's able to make a wave, honestly.
[ katara's voice is emphatic and a little relieved. yes, she is definitely trying to butter him up with the mental image of zuko waterbending. ]

[He gives a sigh, the anger shifting into something more tired. ]
I know. I do trust you, Katara. I just- [he can't lose her, too] I just want you to be safe, ok?
