[Video feed jumps on and suddenly the scene of a blue blinking eye pulls back to show a face.]

I don't remember picking this up. Whatever. [Pretty obvious the datapad has just been tossed on the bed. Isn't the ceiling nice? Hope so, because that's the only scene you get as Sokka stomps about the room and then catches sight

[ All of her smiles for you, Sokka ] About time, lazy bones!

Clothes are in the closet or the little roller tins. And, you know? Never been more happy to be blind.

[whoneedsbending]

Little roller tins? [Probably a good thing you can't see him looking around for the tenth time until he...well finds stuff.]

Wait, do I know you? [No...he's not debating making faces...]

[canttophthis]

What? [ Her smile falters a little, confusion and a little bit of hurt showing in her expression ] Yeah, real funny, Sokka. Drop it.

1/2

2/2

[whoneedsbending]

[Sorry Toph. He frowns a little seeing that the smile lessens and cringes at the hurt.] I'm serious. I don't know who you are.

But you know me...

[canttophthis]

[ Her mouth just kind of hangs open for a second before snapping shut, pretty obviously angry. Her tone is biting and a petty kind of peeved. ]

We only spent the last few months saving the world together, Sokka, but fine. Whatever. Glad it was so memorable for you.

[whoneedsbending]

[He takes a deep breath and his jaw clenches before he maybe snaps just a little.]

Look, I don't know you so don't get all angry at me for no reason. I think I'd remember someone like you but a few months ago, I was in the Southern Water Tribe, minding my own business. No world saving, no bending no anything.

[canttophthis]

[ She's just going to frown and be childishly angry, because that's what she does. She'll apologize later. Maybe. But, oh wait. That... actually makes sense. ]

So... you haven't been to the Earth kingdom yet? You guys- You-

[ And then her voice gets kind of quiet ]

...You never met me?

[whoneedsbending]

[Ah damn, he feels a bit bad about snapping now.]

Only been to Omashu and Kyoshi Island before heading to the North pole...sorry. But hey, I've met you now, right? So since you know my name, what's yours?

[canttophthis]

[ HE SHOULD ;_;

She's quiet for a little while, then looks away. There's something that might be a sniffle BUT THE HELL IF YOU'LL KNOW, because bangs in the face and all. This was really the worst time for this, man ;_; ]

Toph. Toph Bei Fong. You'll meet me later.

I'll punch you a lot.

But you'll deserve it.

[whoneedsbending]

[If they had the kind of relationship where they could hug, he'd totally try to find her and hug her lots. Instead, he'll just look awkward for a moment before...curious.]

Uuh...okay? Thanks for the advanced warning? [He's thinking later means like...in a few days. Silly boy.]

[canttophthis]

You're not welcome. [ Grumblegrumble. Poutpout. Yeah, still a little sour about it over here ] Jerk.

I could condition you for it now, if you want.

[whoneedsbending]

Oh yeah, we're gonna be the best of friends.

[canttophthis]

[ And here's her, 'hi, i'm the biggest troll ever' grin ]

Yep! We sure are! Now we just need Twinkletoes to show up and we'll have the whole monopoly on idiots to toss around.

[whoneedsbending]

Oh I can tell.

Let me guess, Twinkletoes would be Aang.

[canttophthis]

The one and only. So you've at least met and remember him? [ grumblegrumble gonna be annoyed about it for a while kthx ]
