[ He softens, looking at the mending in his hand. He starts working on it again. ]

My mother. She used to take me to feed the turtleducks, before she left.

[ He shrugs. ]

Just a reminder of home.

[toph_luck]

[ Toph is, very pointedly, not mentioning turtleducks being a regional delicacy in the earth kingdom. Nope, leave that for another time. ]

Cute. Didn't know you were such a softie.

[ Her tone's light, barely even teasing. She kindof knew already really. ]

How've you been, otherwise, anyway?

[restoredhonor]

[ He did live in the Earth Kingdom for a while, Toph. But you're not cooking his turtleducks!

Then, he snorts. ]

You haven't spent much time with Azula. She'd tell you I'm nothing but.

[ He puts the mending to the side and gets up to stretch. ]

Surviving. Mai was here for a brief time.

[ And he misses her. ]

I can change into a dragon. What about you?

[toph_luck]

You know... I haven't. I think she's avoiding me. Every time she comes close we both kindof go our own way.

[ Not too surprising. It's not exactly bad blood between them, but things are awkward. Not to mention the age and maturity politeness gap.

What a strange world where TOPH's the nice one... ]

Yeah. We had a chat in the garden, way back then... I kindof figured.

[ She hasn't been up to much, it's a boring topic, so instead she pushes it right back to him again, voice a bit more genuine. ]

You holding up alright?
