This is the part where Zuko lures her back to the ship to take her prisoner.

Somehow she can't make herself say anything.

"You could come too. If you wanted."

...If she wanted?

It's dang hard to read this girl behind that mask. Dechen will wait patiently for her to decide(?).

"I-"

"Can't. I have to go."

"Oh. All right, then. Don't get caught!"

"...You too."

Well. Off she goes, then.

She looks back a couple times, but her girl of mystery doesn't seem to be following.

Zuko makes her way back to the ship and crawls into bed.

She wakes with the sunrise, but doesn't much feel like getting up.

It's Iroh that comes to knock on her door. "Rise and shine, niece!" she calls, way too cheerfully.

Nnnnope. Not here. Covers over head.

"Niece! You need to train!" she sing-songs. 

It's fine to skip one day, isn't it...

"And I have news about Zhao... Seems he's lost track of the Avatar." She sounds quite pleased about that. 

Zuko groans. At least her betrayal wasn't completely for nothing.

"Nothing to say about that, dear niece?"

Why would she have anything to say about that, she is a lump, lumps don't talk.

" - I'm coming in," she says, and then the door starts to open.

Yeah. Sure. Why not.

She closes the door and sits by Zuko's bed. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know if I should tell you."

"You can tell me anything, niece. I swear I won't judge you, nor act against you because of it."

"Even if you have to lie about it later?"

"Even then."

"I was the one who broke the Avatar out."
