Dear Zuko,
Hi! So So, um...
Hello! How are you? It's only been a few weeks since we last saw each other, butI've been thinking about you a lot I miss you so much already I know you have so much going on. I'm sure there isn't a dull moment. I hope you're all right. I know what a capable leader you are, and I know you will be the Fire Lord your nation has needed for over a hundred years.
I also want you to know that I will do everything I can to help you. While I don't know what it's like to be a monarch, I do know what it's like to be charged with the care of many people. When I was just twelve and Sokka thirteen, our father went off to fight in the war, and, as the chief's children, we were in charge. Sokka was afraid, and I don't blame him. He withdrew into himself because he missed Dad so much, and he was confused. Again, I don't blame him. I wanted to do the same. I was terrified, and our mother was murdered not too long before that. I was still heartbroken over that, but someone had to be strong. So I took the reins. And it was so hard.
So yes, if I've been completely motherly--which I KNOW I have been--I guess it's because I've had it ingrained in me by the war. It was so difficult, so I think I understand how you feel. If I'm way off-base, forgive me for assuming. But I'm more than willing to listen if you need to talk about it.
You're not alone, Zuko. You may feel like it, but it's not true. You have your uncle--and you have me. And I'm sure Mai is there for you, as well.
Anyway, I'm just rambling at this point, so
You'll always have me on your side, so don't worry about that. And don't feel like you have to write me back. I know you're very busy, but it would be wonderful to hear from you.
Again--you're not alone. I'm always here for you.
I miss you, Zuko. So much.
Katara
