[Gokudera isn't trying to invite himself in their relationship. He's just heard enough from Zuko that he can't sit by and let them both be miserable. What would be wrong with him helping them? He didn't think asking Azula if she would wants his help would be good... considering he's pretty sure she'd refuse no matter what and she hates him.
But he doesn't hate her. He's been through enough that he's pretty resilient, more kind, and more forgiving than he ever was before. Gokudera is still curious about what he could have done to upset her in the first place aside from attacking Zuko.
He watches her drink from the bottle, then stares expectantly as if awaiting a verdict on it.]
Maybe I can talk him out of that last one...
[He looks bothered... and for good reason.]
Yes Ma'am [Gokudera does as he's told and offers her the glass once he's filled it. As he holds it out, he tenses, trembles gently, and there's a visible flinch as his collar starts up on a low and slowly building pulsing pain. He's just going to do his best not to draw attention to it.]
