Suki smiled warmly at Zuko as he approached. To say she'd been surprised to find him on the same side — and helping! — Sokka during the prison break was a huge understatement, but it hadn't taken long for her to realize there was a lot more to him than was immediately apparent. She'd gotten as much of the story of how he'd ended up with the others as she figured she would without prying further, and she wasn't the sort to go demanding answers if it meant someone had to go digging into something painful. The others had trusted him, so she had, too.
From the little she'd gathered Zuko had been through some things to get where he was, and while it didn't necessarily excuse his past, Suki found that she genuinely liked him. His sister, well… that was another story, and to be fair to Azula she hadn't caused any major trouble since she'd arrived. That was something to be thankful for. They were all so far from home and the more they could depend on each other, the better. It helped that they'd had a good start before they'd had to go chasing after Aang.
It also helped that sometimes, Zuko was endearingly awkward. Like now. Suki stayed quiet, gave him the space to settle next to her. She knew he and Sokka had been spending a lot of time together, since they'd been the first ones to follow after Aang. Honestly, she thought it was good for both of them, with their differing personalities and lives. They all had so much they could learn from each other, and her thoughts went back to the fact that they had some time now that they hadn't before.
"Hi," she replied, glancing over. If he'd wandered towards the river looking for some peace and quiet, too, she could at least be good company. From the way he closed his eyes, she figured that might be the case. "Yeah. I finished my turn not too long ago." Azula had seemed to be in a quiet mood when she'd left her earlier. Suki hadn't decided quite yet what she thought of her beyond the obvious, normal reaction of finding an enemy suddenly in your life and being stuck with them, but part of her felt sorry for the other girl. "Looking for some quiet, too?" she asked, turning her attention away from Zuko — she didn't want to stare — and back to the river. This was the perfect place for letting thoughts wander.
