Katsu really didn't want to have to tell the others this, but it felt better if he did; Yakedo was essentially a stranger to them far as he knew, it should come from someone they knew at the very least. Like before when he'd tried to tell Siku he was the Avatar, she once again did not believe him. Sighing to himself he looked at the Water Bender somberly, watching as she looked to Hideki for confirmation and her expression immediately changed. Just as he had worried, she was not taking the news of having to leave well at all, fighting against it however she could. Ashamed of bringing this upon them, Katsu looked away from the group and closed his eyes, letting his former master explain everything while he tried to brace for the inevitable guilt-ing he was going to get. 

Cringing when he heard Siku snap, Katsu finally and reluctantly turned back to face her, his expression one of pain and apology. There was nothing he could say to make this better, not to Siku or Asha or anyone. Families were going to be disrupted because of him, and they may not even be able to say why they were leaving; reasons like this were precisely the reason he had tried to keep his true identity a secret. Matters were made worse when Siku tried to play off his role in all of his, his chest feeling tight as he shook his head wordlessly. No, it wasn't their fault, it was his, all his. If he just hadn't been born, or had just sucked it up and stayed in training then none of this would be happening. No bystanders getting hurt, no friends losing their families, and no one would be at risk because of him. It was a selfish reason that he was here in Republic City to begin with, and it was that selfsame reason that had ruined things for everyone now.

Today had begun with Katsu not giving much care for anyone else in this room, but now he felt terribly guilty and in service to them. Even if Siku could bring things with her, or if Asha said she was fine with leaving he sincerely doubted that both were a hundred percent okay. It was his fault this was happening, and as such he should be trying to correct things to get them back home, but how? What could be done to help that along? At most he could try and protect them, something he'd done marginally back in the sewers. The world may not need the Avatar right now, this much was true, yet these two girls could probably use him. Wherever they ended up then he'd be certain to keep them out of harm's way, safe from anyone that might try to do him or them harm. A burden perhaps, but one he should have to carry for his role in all of this.

"If there's anything I can do for you two, anything at all, just name it..." Katsu offered weakly, looking between Siku and Asha. Hearing a soft whimpering he glanced down to his feet, watching Koinu as he rubbed against his leg, begging to be held. Smiling sadly and obliging his companion he lifted the small animal up, hugging him before letting out a sigh. "I don't know where we can go... But I know some people in the Fire Nation, maybe we can start there? Unless you don't want to travel all that way." Of all the nations, the Earth Nation was probably the closest to them, if he had to guess. As things stood currently the nations really weren't quite as dividing as they had been in the past, but they still existed in at least name. "I'll uh... I'll try and get in touch with someone, so we have a place to stay. If you think that would be okay, Yakedo?"
