Crying subsides, and Steph resists the desire to just slide back down into sleep. She shifts around instead to lean against Sokka and stay at least a little bit upright.
Outside, there's soft footsteps, and then a shaft of moonlight as the tent fastening is opened. It's Nata, carrying a spear, obviously on watch.
