Summary: Zuko is surprised by the first person to trust him after he changes sides
Unexpected Trust
Zuko was honestly surprised by the first person to truly trust him after he joined the Avatar and his friends. The first person to trust him without having an outside reason wasn't Katara—no surprise there. It wasn't Sokka. It wasn't even Toph—she had the whole "living lie detector" thing going for her. It was Aang. The person who probably had the least reason to trust him.
When Katara had objected to letting Aang go off to find the Sun Warrior ruins alone with Zuko, it was Aang who had insisted that she stay behind with the others. Not Toph—Aang. When Zuko asked Aang why he was so certain that he could trust him, Aang had shrugged and said, "Because everyone has the potential for good in them. It just takes some people longer to find it than others. You've proven that you've changed."
