I just realized, Zuko was the only person around to witness Zhao’s demise
I’m imagining like the gaang is just hanging around the fire a few days before Sozin’s Comet just
Sokka: “We’re really going after the Fire Nation again so soon after the Day of Black Sun… They’ll be far more prepared this time too, I bet. I wonder who they’ll send after us…”
Katara: “Probably Azula. She’s already found us once since the Day of Black Sun.”
Toph: “Maybe the Fire Lord himself? That would at least make things easier for us.”
Sokka: “No that would be too convenient. They’d send someone else. Possibly Zhao. We haven’t seen him in a while.”
Zuko: “????”
Aang: “You’re right. Not since the North Pole.”
Zuko: “??????”
Katara: “That is kind of strange, actually, considering how good he was at tracking us up to that point. Do you think something hap–”
Zuko: “Fish ate him.”
Sokka: “What”
Zuko: “Fish spirit ate him.”
Toph: “Fish what”
Zuko: “Spirit. Ate him. Didn’t wanna take my hand.”
Aang: “…………….The OCEAN SPIRIT ATE HIM?”
Zuko: “Actually I don’t wanna talk about it.”
I love these tags.
Does.
Does Toph know about the whole Aang-turning-into-a-giant-ocean-fish-spirit thing? Did anyone tell her?
The Gaang play a game where they all sit on sand or something else that confuses Toph’s senses and tell her wild adventures from before they met and she has to guess which ones are true.
They also do this with Zuko, because it’s fun to watch him realise that for all the places he tracked them to, they were usually only there for bonkers reasons.
sokka: we snuck into omashu by using momo as a wig. the king had a giant monster rabbit that was kind of cute and me and katara almost got turned into statues.
