Katara was equally surprised at how relatively civil they had been towards one another during the duration of her visit. The last time they had been remotely calm towards when conversing ended with a heated argument that lead to Zuko storming out of dance class; needless to say, this was a vast improvement. Katara was even a bit proud, in combination with being extremely confused, that she didn't particularly have the urge to encase the firebender in a pillar of ice, the automatic reaction to his presence for the longest time. And besides, wasn't this what Sokka and Toph had asked of her? To not pick anymore fights with Zuko and give him another chance?

She couldn't forgive him just yet, though-- no matter what, his betrayal had hit her hard. Trust was something extremely important to Katara, and she wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Perhaps later if Zuko proved that his words were true, that he was different, that he had changed for the better honestly this time-- maybe then she'll be able to bury the hatchet. But for now, all she had were empty words that had nothing to back his sincerity, if he had even been sincere in the first place.

His stuttering managed to break her out of her thoughts, and with wide eyes she glanced over to the door before understanding what exactly he was asking. "Oh, no-- I think I know my way out." All the dorms were designed the same, after all. Making her way to the keypad, she pressed the button which let the door slide open. Stepping through the opening, there was an awkward pause as she stood on the other side, her eyes glancing up at Zuko. Perhaps she should actually say something?

"So... don't forget to water your plant. It needs lots of sunlight and water or else it'll wither."
