She couldn't help but laugh a little when he started groaning. It was adorable how embarrassed he was about his own words. She settled down when she heard him begin to talk. She thought to herself that he technically didn't lie to her. If he was exiled he was technically a refugee like he said. A comment like that probably isn't what Zuko wanted to hear though.

She nodded along, never taking her eyes off him. He had her full attention and not once did she look upset or frighted by his words. She looked more sad than anything and it wasn't because he hid this from her.

" That must have been... so hard for you. You had to pretend you were someone else because most of the world wouldn't have approved and might have tried hurting you," she sniffled out and reached out to grab his hand.
