Shin was about to move and comfort Liang, but Li beat him to the punch. The waterbender had by now gathered his own composure enough to nod at the Avatar - as if telling him to take a good care of his friend - before turning on his heels. Judging by the direction the waterbender moved towards he went after the destructive firebender again.
Liang did not struggle as she was embraced, her ears heard two promises. Shen-Wu would pay and Li would help her stand. The former firebender wiped her eyes and steeled her resolve. For just a heartbeat she felt the familiar warmth inside her, but it was gone before she really could give it a thought. As the black haired woman turned on her heels to face the twin Avatars her golden eyes had a new kind of determined, cold look to them. "I'll go where you go. Lead the way, Avatars."
