While escorting Zuko and his family back to the Fire Nation mainland, Avatar Aang and Kiyi decided to ride on a flying dolphin fish, much to the amusement of the other members of Team Avatar. Despite Katara's invitation, Sokka refused to mount one of the creatures, stating that he preferred his rides to be mechanical. Alarmed over Kiyi riding on top of a wild creature, Ursa beckoned the two to return to the Fire Nation cruiser, where Aang apologized and reassured her that flying dolphin fish are "among the gentlest creatures in the world".
