[There's a party today in Xanadu! It's the day before Euphie's 18th birthday, and in an effort to avoid any sort of bad curse, Hanna's throwing her party on Sunday

[ Toph promised to come. Now, whether people will recognize her is a good question, but it's hard to miss the short dark-haired girl spending most of her time near the refreshments. She's happy to talk to whomever, but she won't know who you are until you speak... so keep that in mind.]

[Hanna doesn't seem to realize that Toph is blind, so he waves at her as he approaches. Now, he doesn't recognize her, but he's sure he knows her.]

Hi!

[seesbydoing]

[ She doesn't look up. Toph really doesn't meet people's eyes. But she smiles. ]

Hey, party-planner.

[manofgnee]

Glad you could make it, Toph! Can I get you anything?

[seesbydoing]

I'm okay, thanks. [ She has something in her hand, half-eaten, so this is true. ] Feels like there's a lot of people here. I'm impressed.

[manofgnee]

Hee, thanks!! I'm surprised...but glad, though!

[seesbydoing]

I'm sure the birthday girl will appreciate it. [ Blows the hair out of her eyes, though it settles right back. ] Is she around anywhere?

[manofgnee]

She's playing with her present...er...new puppy.

[seesbydoing]

[ Points at him. ] Your gift?

[manofgnee]

Yep!! Tumbles was really fond of Euphie, so I figured they're perfect for each other!!

[seesbydoing]

It's good to have an animal to bond with. [ Smiles. ] At home, I made friends with badgermoles. They're really cool.

[manofgnee]

Oooh, what are badgermoles?

[seesbydoing]

They're really big. [ She gestures widely. ] But not scary. And we see the world in the same way.

[manofgnee]

Cool! They earthbend too, then?

[seesbydoing]

That's right! They taught me.

[manofgnee]

Really? Oh, that is so cool.

Hey, I never got to have an earthbending demonstration!!
