Summary
And again, she couldn’t help but connect that story she heard when she was eight to this adversary. She couldn’t help but wonder what his face looked like or if he could see out of his scarred eye. And she was still confused over why he had joined his sister overthrow Ba Sing Se when he was supposed to be banished from his nation. She didn’t understand why he still fought for the Fire Nation’s side.
So when the infamous Angry Freak With a Ponytail showed up on their doorstep to, of all things, teach Aang firebending, Toph just thought ‘so, you came to your senses, Prince Ponytail?’
(or, Toph knows how Zuko got his scar)

Summary
“What happened to you?” She didn’t ask him but rather ordered an explanation. She didn’t need to clarify what she was talking about.
The former prince faced Katara, still reeling from the realization that no, she didn’t know what had happened to him like he assumed she and the others always had. “I thought you knew,” he admitted to her.
Katara’s hard expression didn’t waver, “it’s not like you ever told us.”

Summary
Sokka replayed the words in his head, surely he hadn’t heard that right. “I’m sorry, what did you just say?”
Iroh looked down, perhaps in shame, perhaps in sadness that even though his nephew had grown stronger and had finally learned to care about others and let them care for him, he still wouldn’t discuss that day. “Zuko has not told you the reason he was sent to find the Avatar in the first place.”

Summary
“Yeah, he is my dad, and he tried to kill me. That should tell you all you need.”
Aang doesn’t laugh. He’s exhausted and angry and nothing about this situation is funny. But he looks at Zuko and finally deciphers his apathy. The prince who used to care so much about returning home that he would go from one end of the globe to the other and back around more times than Aang would like to estimate, now cares nothing for the man who sent him away. The kid in the oversized helmet with the silly ponytail telling Aang he would take his staff and gift it to his father? That kid is gone. He grew up.
(or, Aang figures out how Zuko got his scar)
