Swallowing back a sigh, Sokka bends to put his arms fully around her and hold her tight. Just for a moment, though, brief before he straightens and steps back to put his hands on her shoulders. Holding his children, niece, or nephew has never been a task, never a responsibility, and the same for comforting them.
But he can't keep holding her if he wants to keep his own composure.
"Do what you need to do," Sokka says quietly, head ducked to look her in the eye, serious, "and come see us when you're ready. But don't hurt yourself in the process, you promise me?"
