this pic is a scene from Book four: Air by Capt-BA. Great fan fic. you guys should really go and read it,
the scene take place in chapter 7

Katara stepped out of the tent, looking exhausted, and let the flap fall shut behind her. "He's asleep, finally. I healed what I could, but it's going to take a lot of sessions to get him back to full strength. There's almost nothing I could do for his broken bones, though." She shook her head. "I really hate it when he gets to say 'I told you so'."

"You did great, Katara," Toph said. "And you should take that compliment and keep it in a box, cuz you know I don't hand them out often."

Suki stood, poised on the balls of her feet like she wanted to go and embrace the waterbender, but something held her back. "I don't know how we can make it up to you."

"You can start by explaining how all of this happened." There was an icy edge to Katara's voice that seemed to cut through the air. Realizing that she might wake her brother, Katara switched to a whisper that did little to hide her frustration. "I trusted you to watch out for him, to keep him safe, but I guess that was too much to ask?"

"I'll be the first to admit that I made a few mistakes and let my guard down," Suki said, her tone calm and level in contrast to Katara's. "Almost all of his injuries were a result of him fearlessly sacrificing himself to help me. I won't tell you not to be angry, but I think you should also be proud of him."

"Proud?" Incredulity raised Katara's volume another notch, and then another few as she continued. "For getting beat up? For nearly dying?"

"Katara," Toph began, but the waterbender rounded on her, completely giving up her attempt at whispering.

"Don't you start, Toph! You're as much to blame as anyone! Why weren't you with him? I thought you were his best friend! How could you abandon someone you care about like that?"

Toph only winced and pointed back toward the tent.

"That's a good question."

The two girls without earthbending senses jumped and turned as the tent flap opened to reveal Sokka standing in his Water Tribe battle gear, with a crutch under his left arm and his walking brace strapped to his leg. He slung Space Sword over his shoulder and finished tightening one of his bracers.

"Sokka!" Katara's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "You were awake the whole time?"

"It's a little hard to sleep with you three out here arguing about who's fault it is that I got hurt."

"We weren't arguing, exactly," Katara said in weak denial.

He limped forward and Suki and Katara both made a move to help him, but he held up his hand to let them know he was alright. "A more manly man might be offended that the women in his life think they need to protect him." He took another step forward and gave each of them a look of bemused acceptance that only made them feel worse, even Toph, who could only hear it in his voice. "It honestly doesn't bother me, but what does bother me," he said, stopping at Katara's side, "is that there are people out there who need our help and we're sitting around wasting time."
