[Katara gets to this a bit later - long enough to listen through some of these responses. But there was something else too, something she'd been dreading sense Ikki had told her about it, and she replayed the original message one more time just to be sure--
--"I don't need to bend to make you regret this!"
She takes a breath. To be without your bending is horrible enough. To wake up in a strange place with wings on your back is also horrible enough. Her heart goes out to the woman even if...
...well, she wasn't expecting Toph's daughter to show up and be older than all of them!
She's immediately concerned for her friend too, but - first things first.]
There's a lot to explain. [Whether or not her voice sounds familiar is debatable, but there's a certain Tone Katara has when she is about to get everyone to Calm Down so they can Do Something and it's certainly in effect now.] And I don't know of any way to make it any easier than how impossible it is to believe. But my name is Katara, I'm from the Southern Water Tribe and... if you are who I think you are, then I owe you my thanks.
