ANGLE ON: KATARA turns back to tending AÁNG.
AÁNG
What’s with him?
KATARA
I’ve never been able to find out.
He chuckles.
AÁNG
Thanks for saving me. I could have frozen out there.
KATARA
No problem. You have a bit of a fever. Not much, though.
AÁNG clutches his sides from cold.
AÁNG
Yeah, coats aren’t exactly a commonality where I’m from.
KATARA
We have some extra parkas in here somewhere.
AÁNG begins to scan around the room with his eyes.
KATARA
Where are you from, anyway?
AÁNG
Southern Air Temple.
She stops patting his forehead and locks eyes with him.
KATARA
So you are an airbender.
AÁNG points to the arrow tattoo on his forehead.
AÁNG
This is a bit of a giveaway, isn’t it?
KATARA chuckles (almost in a false, trying-too-hard way), and reaches over his forehead for something, when AÁNG looks between her arms.
CLOSE ON: AÁNG focuses on the necklace KATARA’S wearing, a blue gem with a few water swirls carved into it.
ANGLE ON: AÁNG looks back up to face KATARA.
AÁNG
That’s a nice necklace.
KATARA looks down to AÁNG, clutching it and smiling at him.
KATARA
Thanks. It’s my mom’s.
He smiles back.
KATARA
So, how did you end up down here?
ANGLE ON: AÁNG’s expression turns dark, as he looks around, thinking for what to say.
AÁNG
I, uh… I ran away.
ANGLE ON: KATARA looks a bit surprised by his remark.
KATARA
Oh…
AÁNG
It was all really, stupid, to be honest.
They hear SOKKA calling off-screen.
SOKKA (O.S.)
(panicked)
Katara!!
ANGLE ON: KATARA turns her head to the noise. She faces back to AÁNG.
KATARA
You gonna be alright?
AÁNG
Of course. Go ahead.
ANGLE ON: KATARA nearly exits, but looks back.
ANGLE ON: AÁNG looks at her, a bit confused.
AÁNG
Something wrong?
ANGLE ON: KATARA catches herself.
KATARA
Uh, your… staff thing… is over there.
ANGLE ON: AÁNG looks over to the corner, seeing his staff resting in a corner. He looks back, grinning.
AÁNG
Thank you.
ANGLE ON: KATARA gives a brief grin and walks out.
