[Well, probably. Toph doesn't exactly know what went down between Sokka and Azula.]
She does that a lot.
[Toph presses the button for deck 15. When she speaks again, she sounds just a little tense.]
If she ever tries to hurt you...
[Wait, Goten's energy-bending is probably stronger than Toph's earthbending. It's not like he'd need Toph to fight his battles for him, as long as he fought back.]
[Yeah, she can't lie. Deal with it.]
I'm bringing fried meat-bread-sticks.
[Corndogs. What is nutrition?]

Wow, really?! Thanks Toph!

[Why did she just answer a rhetorical question? That sound? That is the sound of Toph face-palming.
She's quiet for maybe ten minutes, and then she's knocking at Goten's door.]
Hey, is this open?
Reply
Toph, I did it! I got the chains off me!
Reply
[She walks into his room without being invited, offering him a corndog as she goes.]
Do you want the chains?
[Can she have them?! Yay metal!]
Reply
Goten scarfs it down without a care, totally fine with Toph doing whatever she wants.] Nohf! Oo can haff 'em!
Reply
Luckily, she speaks the language of Mouth-full. But on the other hand, she can't feel the cuffs on the floor...]
So where are they?
Reply
But it sinks in and he...wilts. Oh yeah.]
Oh.
Um...I guess you can't, 'cause they disappeared. I looked for 'em later but they were gone.
Reply
Whatever. Guess I'll have to make my own.
[Except she probably won't bother.
And she starts toward the door. Goten's free, there are no cuffs to be had, and she's really not in the mood to be entertaining.
She's still got that uneaten corndog with her.]
See you, Goten.
Reply
[Goten tosses aside the bare corndog stick, scrambling down from the chair he'd climbed onto and following after.]
Wait, you're gonna go? Um, can I go with you?
Reply
[She wasn't going anywhere interesting. Just to cave-deck, to hit things. But it's not like she can just say no.]
Fine, whatever.
[And she starts toward the elevators. What're they supposed to even talk about?]
Sooo... You're friends with Azula now?
[It's kind of a rhetorical question. Nobody is ever really friends with Azula.]
Reply
[He follows after her happily; she's totally not angry with him anymore. Otherwise she wouldn't have let him come, this is GREAT.]
Reply
[She can't help it; she grins.]
That girl you were talking to, about chi. That's Azula.
[And Toph darts inside a conveniently-available elevator.]
Reply
[Goten jogs to keep up with her; Toph sure moves well for a blind chick.]
She said your friend tried to hurt her and that's why she... I mean, was she lying?

You know you can fight her, right?
Reply
And if she tries hurting other people I'll totally get her then, too.
