This is when Katara is in the FN (again) later in the fic. It's just a conversation.
WARNING MINOR CHARACTER DEATH!
WARNING!
Toph to Katara:
“Are you sure that’s not an excuse?”
“What?”
“This idea you have that the Fire Nation is a place of death, that every time you come here people die. Are you sure you’re not just hiding behind that to avoid the other thing?”
“First of all, it’s not just an idea! Every time I’ve been here, someone I love has gotten hurt or died. Second of all: what? What other thing?”
“People die everywhere Katara. Reality check: your grandmother and your teacher were old, it wouldn’t have mattered where you are. At least you got to stay with your grandmother before she went, and Pakku was with his people. They were lucky.”
“How dare you!”
“Easily. And you know exactly what ‘thing’ I’m talking about. We all know.”
“Well enlighten me.”
“I’ll do one better. Ask yourself this, Sugar Queen: if you really don't know, then why are you here?”
