[It's a good thing for Aang that she trusts him; she definitely wouldn't tolerate that from more than a bare handful of people, if even that. Even so, he'll be able to feel her stiffen at least from reflex; suddenly losing that floor contact, even with someone she trusts, is still like a stone plunging through water in her stomach.]
[Also probably a sign that she needs to be hugged a little more often; with the Gaang separated, it doesn't happen as much as before -- or nearly enough -- and even she can feel the scales of old armor surfacing against it.]
[She distracts herself from it by delivering a solid punch to the shoulder as he sets her down -- with a smirk, because she can sense the lie immediately. Aang has always been terrible at lying, and he gives himself away pretty much every time.]

Good try, Twinkletoes.
Thanks.
