[Katara settles in for what was likely going to be a longer conversation than she had planned. To her surprise, it was a subject she didn't really mind talking about. Once she'd thought of her healing as something that only meant she'd failed to protect the person she cared about; an ability of last resort. In Luceti, she'd learned how to be proud of her abilities and to expand them. She was happy to be able to call herself a doctor and a healer.]

Trafalgar taught me the most about more modern kinds of medicine. He was the one who instructed me in surgery and gave me my set of operational tools. He and another surgeon, Adele, used to run emergency medical procedure training, and I had a lot of experience there as well. But it was a friend before that, Chopper, who started teaching me about medicines. Around the same time, a good friend, Ginko, was teaching me about the properties of different kinds of plants. [Her voice softens noticeably when she talks about Ginko.] You would have liked him. Ginko, I mean. You probably would have liked Chopper too, once you got over him being a reindeer.
