"To you? Why would..." manages to come out of his mouth before he can stop himself. Before he realizes...she's not just shy, she's scared.

She's scared of him.

It's not the first time Aang has been faced with frightening someone. There were more than a few fearful, apprehensive looks on the faces of those around him post-Avatar State Rampage, but...never just from him as he was.

A gangling, unassuming, goofy monk.

"You have my absolute promise that I'm not going to do anything to you."

He follows this up with a small bow, and an introduction.

"I'm Aang."
