I wonder if the writers were as surprised by their dynamic as we were.
I was most surprised about Sokka leaping from hazing Zuko to asking for his advice in what can only have been a few days. However, I did already think at the end of FBM that the teasing had already a much friendlier note, because the group, including Sokka and Katara, had a first proof that Zuko was really persistent in becoming Aang's firebending teacher.
The conversation in the balloon seemed naturally to me, even though, "that's rough, buddy", still strikes me as not quite like Zuko. I don't know why, however, I think he was a bit at loss for words. I have always wondered and do wonder even more now, how much Iroh told him about what happened in the Spirit Oasis while Zuko was fighting with Zhao. Or even if Iroh didn't tell him, how much he suddenly understood when Sokka told him about Yue, and if this realisation is the reason why he didn't really know what to say. (Or maybe, I'm just overthinking a little plot hole on the side of the writers. ^_^)
