Searching for new sources of food and water is a reasonable task. People need those things to survive, and Katara is used to having to source them in extenuating circumstances, but these woods are deeper than she'd expected, and the path she'd been marking for herself is gone now. Hearing another person moving around means that she may have a chance of getting back to civilization now, rather than having to bed down for the night on the forest floor.
There's one little hangup, though.
If Katara hadn't seen the sparks, she wouldn't have been immediately suspicious. The woman is dressed strangely, but nothing like any of the Fire Nation gear she's familiar with. She doesn't look like a firebender either, with her bright gold hair and blue eyes, and though Katara knows not everyone from the Fire Nation is objectively evil, they aren't exactly friendly, either.
Her immediate instinct is to flee, but running off into the woods will only get her more lost. Besides, they're not in the Fire Nation now, or even the Earth Kingdom. This is a different world altogether, and the stranger looks just as lost as she is.
"Hello," she calls out, deciding to take a risk and approach. "Are you lost?"
