Part of him wanted to tell Katara first, to see if she could help him get through it... but for the first time in a long time, he chose instead to give in to the part of him that wanted to run away, and he only reluctantly addressed those who replied to him over the journals.
But when he walked in and saw Katara there at the end of the day, after he couldn't run anymore, there was no way he was going to ignore her directly. His eyes flickered towards her as he slowly stepped closer, and he spoke softly.]
