I want you to know that I'm so very proud of you both. [ Kya takes his face in her hands and brushes a kiss to his forehead. He can't be too old for that either! ]
[He shakes his head.] I don't think so. I'm sorry -- I know he would have wanted to see you. [Of course, he's tilted his chin up some because being told that she's proud of him is something of a dream of his.] Don't take this the wrong way, mom, but I'm kind of glad its you and not him.
[He laughs, too, but it's a bit nervous.] I think you're more forgiving. Not that dad's not, but... [Well, he worries more about Hakoda's disappointment. He doesn't see Kya being that way at all.]
But... you're just worried your father might end up more disappointed than anything.
[ Kya nods, her expression now somber. There's a twinkle to her eyes still but she completely understands why Sokka feels how he does, why he's worrying. ]
After everything that's happened, Sokka, you have nothing to worry about. Everything will be all right, you'll see.

I have. I've been with her almost every step of the way. She'll be so surprised to see you.
no subject
I can't wait to see her.
Will... your father be there?
