Zuko fell silent for a moment.

If that girl was truly Pammy, despite being away from home for many years and being unfamiliar with everything, she shouldn't be so fearful of the outside world, especially since she was found and had her parents' love. Her reaction should not be as intense, or at least that's what Toph thought.
