[ Toph's silent for a moment. Sore spot huh? Anything she could ask about it is, quite likely, spoilers. ]

So... Nice and cheery huh? Never thought I'd miss Aang so much.

[ She waits for the cup to be slid her way, drawing it closer after a moment and sitting up. ]

I'm not sure what you were expecting when you got here. Was that all you wanted to tell me?

[avatar_state]

[She manages a bit of a chuckle, taking a sip of her tea.]

Yep, that's me. If I were any funnier, I'd be doing the Ba Sing Sae Comedy Night.

[She sighed though, relaxing a bit with the application of tea.]

Well, that makes two of us. I was hoping the younger you would...

[Want to be friends? Have hidden wisdom for her? Fun stories?]

I dunno. You were a great teacher, don't get me wrong, and without you I wouldn't have come back from some really bad things. I can safely say Aang isn't the only Avatar you helped save. And you and Zuko are the closest I can get to home.

[toph_luck]

[ Toph's a little slower on the draw, waiting for the tea to cool a bit more before taking a sip. Loud obnoxius slurp. ]

I don't know what me in the future did... I'm sure I was a badass and super cool. If you just wanted to hang out with someone familiar you could have just said. It's nice to know at least someone.

[ She's pretty straight to the point. ]

Once I get my bending back I'm gonna be all over the place. You can even tag along if you can keep up.

[avatar_state]

[Well, that much tracked. Katara had always described Toph as deliberately rebelling against her upbringing - guess she was seeing it, or rather hearing it, in action.]

Yeah, well, you're kinda one of my heroes. Or...will be. It's not as easy when it's an unfamiliar version of a familiar person, that I happen to admire.

My greatest teachers were you, Katara, and Tenzin...Aang's son.

[But she grinned at the last, her spirits raising a little.]

If I can keep up, huh?

[toph_luck]

Yeah. If you can keep up. I'm not gonna slow down for some twinkle-toes that can't even match my pace.

[ Jeeze. How's she meant to reply to something like that. It's a lot to think about. Aang having a son?! That's almost impossible to imagine. ]

Ugh. You're telling me I gotta teach ANOTHER avatar to fight? Great.

Who did you learn fire from, then?

[avatar_state]

[She laughs]

Please, you teach a bunch of people. You're just retired by the time I come around.

And fire? Oh, just the fire sages, really. Fire was pretty easy.

[toph_luck]

Well, at least you've got that going for you.

[ It's still a little weird, but toph's practical, she can loosen up a bit at least. ]

Aang spent so much time learning fire we were worried he'd still be a beginner by the time the old Firelord came by!

[avatar_state]

That was me and airbending. It actually took having my other bending taken away from me to clear that little hang-up. By a bloodbender, no less.

[She shudders a bit.]

The metalbending though...that's pretty fun, I have to admit.

[A good veering off of the conversation, right?]

[toph_luck]

Did you figure out how to do it as well!?

[ Good choice of distraction, now she's interested! ]

I was thinking of starting up a school or something. But don't tell me how it goes!

[avatar_state]

Yep! Pretty darn good at it, too, these days.

And heh, don't worry, I wouldn't wanna ruin the surprise.

[toph_luck]

[ She takes a long, deliberately noisy slurp of her tea, letting the pause linger for a bit before rolling her shoulders. ]

Good. Now, I don't know what your plans are, but I want to get some food! And I finally have someone to go with. So... Trip out?

[ She can go on her own, but between menus, crowds, needing to navigate by stick? It's a pain. ]

[avatar_state]

[One thing Toph will quickly learn about this Avatar: their workout routine means a pretty hefty intake.]

You had me at food.

[toph_luck]

[ Oh, good. They'll get along just swell then. She smiles, finishing off her tea and then extending a rare gift.

A hand for Korra to take. Be it arm, sleeve, or her own hand. ]

Lets get going then. I'm STARVING!


((OOC: Happy to fade away there if you want! Or we can keep going into food and stuff. ))
