Another side effect of betraying the FN and becoming a rebel (besides losing his stuff) is that Zuko starts sleepwalking. One night Sokka is woken up just in time to stop Zuko from accidentally falling off a terrace. Zuko ends up hanging over the side and Sokka has to pull him up by hand (yay work those arms Sokka!). It makes for awkward enemy-friend male bonding time, much cool dialogue, and Sokka almost starts being Zuko's friend. For a night. Traumatic circumstances, and all! It is during Zuko's sleepy mumblings that Sokka is the first person to discern how Zuko got his scar, though Sokka doesn't ask about it when Zuko's awake so Zuko doesn't know he talked.
They're still not friends in the morning, but when the group sleeps Sokka always puts himself somewhere between where Zuko sleeps and the balcony side. Not cause they're friends! Because Aang needs a firebending teacher. And because Sokka doesn't like carrying all the food back to camp by himself after they go hunting. And he still has to learn how Zuko disarmed him when Sokka clearly has the superior weapon and greater natural sword-wielding talent.
