It's not the same as being forced to sit in a war meeting as a kid, the things he was forced to do, she knows that, but it's damaging in it's own way.
War leaves no room for children, that is the ugly truth of it all. She wonders sometimes how Aang can seem so young despite being technically older than all of them. How has this not touched him like it has the rest of them.
She smiles weakly at Zuko's words, nodding.]
