Althea felt a small pang of guilt when she was remembered her inability to help Kali during the fight, but she shook those thoughts away. Kali was alive and well now and she didn't seem to blame her for her injuries. Besides, this wasn't the time to wallow in her angst. Althea followed Kali inside the temple, waiting till she felt they were far enough before she began to speak.

"So I know that Zac plans to travel with Aang and Zuko but I can't help but still feel worried. I mean, Zac's been doing okay so far but what if he snaps during the trip? Should we tell Aang and Zuko before they leave? Would they even let him come along if they knew? Learning their fire-magic thingys are one thing but controlling a mysterious dark force inside one's consciousness is on a whole other level!" Althea didn't realize how much anxiety she had kept bottled up and felt exhausted after her little speech. She took in a deep breath as she waited for Kali's response to her overly-worried thoughts.
