In the dining room, Zuko heard Sokka's giggle, and then the accompanying amusement of the children, and she'd long since learned that usually that was a dangerous sign, so she hurried a little into the room, cursing the amount of time it took for the maids to do her hair for formal functions, such as tonight's gala celebrating ten years since she had become the Fire Lady.
