A minor but sad canon divergence idea

What if Yue's father, Chief Arnook, was present when she made the decision to sacrifice herself to restore the Moon Spirit? I have two ideas for how this could happen. Firstly, the Fire Nation overran the palace before Zhao went to the Spirit Oasis, and they took the chief hostage and brought him to the oasis. Later he would be freed when the Moon Spirit was killed and Iroh defeated the firebenders. Secondly, for some reason Yue doesn't realise what has to be done directly after the Moon Spirit is killed, but rather after the rampaging Ocean Spirit drove out the Fire Nation, the tribe convenes to figure out what to do about the moon situation, and Yue speaks up and suggests this idea. What would be her father's reaction and how would the conversation between them go?
