Excerpt:
"Is everything alright? Did something delay you guys?" Zuko asked. His voice was miraculously not groggy from sleeplessness. Katara let her lip quirk in a smile. He did always say that he rose with the sun.
"No, nothing's wrong," Katara replied. Zuko's shoulders dropped as he visibly relaxed. "I just… I know that we sort of did all of this last night, but it didn't seem the same. In front of all those people, it was all so... formal. I asked Aang if we could drop in. I'm sorry for waking you."
Zuko shook his head. "There's nothing to apologize for. You are always welcome here," he said.
