[Okay, that fills in more than a few details, though it opens up just as many questions.]
Fight? You mean like the ongoing fight between us and Mmmmm—mongoose lizard? [He's heard vague stories about that, but nothing entirely specific.] So then I'm guessing Zuko's not the only one poisoned, huh?
As for Zuko...
[Well, that said something. Katara was pretty good at that healing stuff; she certainly nursed Aang back to health after nearly losing him the Avatar State at Ba Sing Se, so whatever concoction was in that poison has to be something serious.]
I take it that you've already ruled out licking frozen wood frogs. [He knows that's going to get a glare from his sister, so he's going to hold up his hands in advance, as if to say "Just a suggestion!" But really, he's just stalling for time as he tries to think of some real solution. Though coming up with one with what little information he currently knows is going to be dicey work.]
