Summary
When Sokka tells him there will be a trial, Aang seems almost surprised.
“A trial?” he asks. “But everyone already knows what they did.”
Sokka massages his knee, hoping some of the relief will spread to his cast-bound leg. Everything seems to hurt more, now that the war is over. His other hand grips a brush, trying to find what order of words will make everyone do what he wants.
“I know,” he replies. “But we need one anyway.”
Finally, just before Sokka tells him to get out, Aang hesitantly asks if he will have to testify.
Sokka holds his brush steady for a moment, and a drop of ink lands on the parchment. Before he has to ask, Aang gently lifts the mistake from the page and bends it back into the inkwell.
“I don’t know,” Sokka replies. “I don’t know.”
