[He goes right into the hug, holding her tightly. Aang will never forget how tiny, how precious she is. As surely as he knows she'll grow up one day. He only pulls his head back slightly and briefly to nod invitingly towards Katara.
They're going through tough decisions, but they still have their family hugs.]
