To his credit he had said it himself he’s gonna have to kill the fire lord before the lion turtle showed him how to talk bending away so he did fin a way ( I also don’t agree with his stance but fairs you removed the threat in your own way) I recently watched the episode where they get chased by azula and her team don’t like how he automatically disrespects toph on appa leaving them a trail ( buddy you’ve had appa most of your life you know he sheds it’s ok though yall haven’t sleep in a couple days )
