Pokey feels weird about how he views Azula. He's only spoken to her a few brief times, so he only has a basic idea of her and how he perceives her.

His first impression of her wasn't a good one, considering it came with her more or less insulting the memory of someone he considered a friend and who he was generally close to in the Doll. He didn't exactly hate her, per se, but he did have a great deal of antipathy towards her because of it and decided to keep an eye out on her.

Where there current thread heads will help determine how he continues to perceive her. It looks like he could feel a bit more empathy towards her considering just how rough she seems to be recovering from July's event. At the same time, it'll take a bit for him to be willing to forgive the slight he feels she inflicted.
