As Iroh manages to disarm Zuko, Sokka is not one to take any chances; he is totally going to scoot that sword faaaaaaaar away from Zuko by kicking it away and then holding it in his own hands. He may not be used to this type of sword, but he will use it indiscriminately if he has to.

Well, cue one for Sokka being confused. There was certainly some prolonged moments of silence that just didn't make any sense. Malicant was clearly keeping a strong hold of Zuko no matter what, but those weird moments of silence when the wolf was just staring into Zuko was... disconcerting. He kind of nudges Katara gently with his shoulder. "Uh, you know what's going on?"

Whether or not she gets a chance to answer is up in the air as Zuko is trying... to what? And there's a promise? WHAT? But if Zuko is trying to fight back, he certainly does. But before he can make anything happen, Katara is right up against him, holding it. "Katara!" he calls out, though it's no use, he knows; she won't listen to him when it comes to matters like this. Even if she criticized him for doing the exact same thing over a month ago.
