While Aang is talking to Roku at the Fire Temple, Zhao has captured Zuko, Sokka and Katara.

It's not like Father has done anything to him he didn't deserve.

Summary
"I am Wan Shi Tong, He Who Knows Ten Thousand Things, and this is my library, my domain," he answered instead, "Who are you, mortal?"
The boy hesitated but answered, "I... was Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. My... the Fire Lord has banished me, with no recourse to return."

Summary
The 41st division lived and went off to join their Prince's mission, leaving behind a spreading unrest in their homeland.
Zuko is not aware of the extent that his banishment changed the political landscape of his homeland. His mission remains the same. Capture the avatar; regain his honor and his father's love. But he knows that he must of done at least one thing right; the new members of his crew, the ones he saved, wouldn't be so kind to him, otherwise. So he was going to keep them safe. If he succeeded in his mission, they could go home too.
Aang is just very confused on if these guys are trying to capture him or recruit him.

Summary
It’s only when the Fire Sages are completely out of sight, Azula in tow, that Zuko exhales. He slumps involuntarily into Katara and of course she’s ready to catch him, as if she’s been expecting this all along.
“I’m fine,” Zuko pants, even though his legs aren’t quite cooperating. “Sorry. Just dizzy. That’s all.”
Katara’s not buying it. “You really need to lie down.”
“Just—just for a few minutes,” he concedes, and maybe he should’ve put up more of a fight, because judging by Katara’s face, actually agreeing to rest might be the most worrying sign he could’ve given her.
