With Iroh's death came a great depression for Toph. She had only left the dorm room to go to the bathroom today, as she didn't want to be around anyone. She didn't even go to get food.

Now her stomach was rumbling too much for her to ignore, and she decided to go down to the kitchens to grab something to shut her stomach up. She was surprised to feel that someone was walking around with....crutches? Squeaky crutches at that. It wasn't long before she heard them.

It took her a while, but she did remember that Seifer had been kept in the hospital wing for a while. Maybe it was him. It certainly wasn't a professor. Turning the corner, she faced the cripple. "Is that Seifer?"

Seifer heard barefoot steps against the stone floor as he came closer to the kitchen. While this wasn't unusual for someone who usually prowled the late nights from insomnia as he remembered in his prefect sweeps, he thought the foot steps sounded too casual and rather hard. He could only think of one person who could be like that...

and it was. Suddenly, the short Gryffindor who used to take swordfighting lessons with Seifer was standing in front of him. Seifer nearly fell over the weak crutches out of shock when Toph spoke out in the middle of the dark. He whispered carefully but angrily, "Toph...what are you doing here? Do you have any idea what time it is?"

blindearthgirl June 17 2009, 04:27:49 UTC

Toph didn't care about talking out loud. She could feel that there weren't any professors nearby. "I could ask you the same thing. I'm hungry."

She wanted to shove Seifer out of the way, but thought that such a move was a bit low for her since he was hurt, so she just walked around him. "There aren't any teachers around. You don't have to whisper."

tipofagunblade June 17 2009, 04:39:28 UTC

Seifer was taken back by Toph's willingness to speak so loudly at that time in the evening. "Again, do you have any idea what time it is? There isn't anyone around, but there are those who may be sleeping!" When the question was turned to him, he deflected it with an unhonest reply. "I was getting a bag of ice for my knee. Is that a problem with you, princess?"

Then, his stomach began to unleash a menacing growl that forced his hand to his gut and grip. He whimpered softly, trying to mute it before Toph could understand why he was truly down there.

blindearthgirl June 17 2009, 04:45:29 UTC

"No, I don't know what time it is. They don't make clocks for blind people to see." It was true. Toph had never heard of clock that was made in such a way.

She huffed when she heard the rumble that could only come from Seifer's stomach. "A bag of ice, huh. Riiiight." She really didn't care why Seifer was there. She just wanted food, which was made evident by the equally loud grumble that came from her gut.

Toph could smell the things being cooked in the kitchen. They were standing just a few feet from the door. It was a painting of a fruit bowl, not that Toph could see that. She knew that you had to tickle one of the fruits, but she had always just tried to tickle the whole painting since she couldn't see which fruit she was tickling. Instead of doing so this time, she turned to the Slytherin. "Are you going to open it, or not?"

tipofagunblade June 17 2009, 04:56:04 UTC

"I figure you could at least hear people saying 'Good night' or 'Gonna go to bed now' or something! Do they make common sense for blind people?" he yelled, not really meaning what he was saying.

He gripped his stomach harder trying to repress the noise from inside. "What? I can eat ice, too," he replied with little verity. His brow raised at Toph when he heard the same from her. "I see I'm not the only one, at least."

Watching Toph as she approached the kitchen entrance, he admired her tenacity and vigor. Smirking, Seifer guided her hand to the right fruit on the painting. "From your height, stick your left hand straight up and then drift it about four inches to the left. Of course, you only know that from experience and not from me, right?" He bumped the door open with one of his crutches and then rubbed her head in a fun manner. "And if you say yes, I'll get the moogles to make us cinnamon buns."

blindearthgirl June 22 2009, 03:35:19 UTC

Toph smacked his hand when he rubbed her head. What was she, his pet dog?

Though, she liked cinnamon buns. "Yes." Maybe she could ask them to put extra icing on them. The messier they were, the better.

"So, who's the one who beat you up?"

tipofagunblade June 22 2009, 03:59:13 UTC

Seifer didn't make the effort to grasp at his hand, but did take the offended tone. "Oh yeah, forbid that day your hair gets messed up. You shouldn't have to care if I put a beard on you." Then, taking a moment to consider Toph's history with such suspicious examples..."If you put a beard on a teacher for a prank, I swear I'll come after you myself." He laughed a little, then continued, "Of course, it would take a while and I'd probably lack all the evidence needed to punish you. I'm just saying."

He pressed his way into the kitchen with his creaky crutches, sighing to the question Toph slung his way. "Maybe I should've sent you back to bed, young lady. I wasn't 'beaten up' because I was randomly AMBUSHED by a raging psychopath named Larxene. If you've heard of her and what she did to the Slytherin Common Room, you'd understand why an ambush is different from a beating."

blindearthgirl June 22 2009, 19:53:07 UTC

"I don't care about my hair. I don't want to become your pet dog." Why was it that older people always did that to kids? Was it some sort of inside joke in the adult community.

The beard idea seemed kind of lame in her opinion. It would be funny to hear Professor Dalmasca scream about having facial hair. "I'd prefer something like a pig's nose or something to make them go bald. Beards can be shaved off."

Then he went on about being ambushed. She had heard of Larxene, but had never really talked to her. She didn't think she wanted to. "I didn't hear about the common room thing. I don't talk to many Slytherins. What did the professors do about it?"

tipofagunblade June 22 2009, 20:31:52 UTC

"I missed all the animal deals, so I wasn't sure if you did become a dog. But don't worry, I think I'd want a pet that's a bit easier to maintain than you," Seifer reassured.

He gave a small breath of humor to the idea of professors getting bald heads. "Don't do it to all of them. There are some I really wouldn't want to see bald..." The first image that went to mind was Rangiku Matsumoto sporting an Ikkaku-doo, leading him to a grimace of disgust. "...let's talk about something else."

"Yeah, well, let's just say the furniture business around here will be booming thanks to Larxy's liquidation of sorts. It certainly hurt like hell when she did this to me. I didn't even do anything, but she just...went off. I don't know what they're going to do about her, but as for me, I'm just a victim. And, I would admit to you if it were otherwise, because you're a friend and all, y'know...but that's how it was. I'm not even proud of it."

blindearthgirl June 23 2009, 21:22:41 UTC

He called her a friend...

Toph gave Seifer a mischievous grin when he told her she'd be hard to maintain. You bet she'd be a hassle. She didn't understand why Seifer didn't like her idea though. Maybe some professors would look scary without hair, not that she would see anyway.

She let the conversation about the crazy Slytherin girl drop. She must have one messed up head to do something like that, and even though she wouldn't admit it around anyone, it creeped her out. A lot.

"So, where's my cinnamon bun?"

tipofagunblade June 23 2009, 21:46:03 UTC

Upon hearing the girl's harsh request on a sweet roll, Seifer slammed his fist against a steel counter in the kitchen and yelled in Moogle in both an apologetic and demanding tone, "KUPO KUPO Kup-Kup KUP KUPO!" He pointed both toward himself and Toph in his fit of "kupo" and "kup-kup" echoing against the hanging pans in the kitchen. After one of them seemed to calm down and offer a frustrated handshake, Seifer accepted it and walked back to Toph, pulling up a kitchen stool for the both of them. "A few minutes."

blindearthgirl June 24 2009, 00:22:29 UTC

Toph knew that the Moogles didn't speak English, or any other human language for that matter, but she had always thought that they at least understood it. Their language was...odd to say the least. It was hilarious hearing it from the Slytherin though.

"You sound like a Moogle on steroids when you do that you know." She giggled to herself. "Do you think you could ask them for a glass of milk too? You can't have cinnamon buns without milk you know."

tipofagunblade June 24 2009, 02:00:56 UTC

Seifer looked back to Toph's giggling face over his conversation with the Moogles in the kitchen. "It's the only way they'll really listen to a student. I'll see if milk can be put in." He once again turned to the short pom-pom headed creatures to try and throw in a tall glass of cold milk.

He arrived back at Toph's seat and regained a stern voice. "You're not even supposed to be here. If you tell anybody about the Moogle talk, I'll make sure you serve even more detention than you already have."

blindearthgirl June 24 2009, 22:35:46 UTC

"Alright, alright. I'll try not to let anyone know about your soft side." That line may have been a bit rude, but this is Toph we're talking about. She doesn't care.

A silence had fallen over the two students. Toph didn't like that, because her mind went to more depressing thoughts. Her appetite was slowly starting to wane again as the tragedy of Iroh's death suddenly loomed before her again. She sat silently on the kitchen stool, and stared in to the distance with her unseeing eyes.

tipofagunblade June 24 2009, 23:06:26 UTC

"Hey, I don't have a soft side. I just happened to learn a new language just to get ahead! IS THAT A PROBLEM, MISS TOUGHIE?" Seifer frustratingly yelled...before realizing that Toph had since abandoned her argument and sought to sit in the low-lighted kitchen, moping over something he wasn't aware of. Oh god..., he thought to himself.

"You've got that look again. You got hands to your head, and you're not looking like you're ready to pull somebody's pants down as a prank. I know something's up." Seifer used one of his crutches to drag over a lower chair that he could prop his injured leg on. "Okay, I'm ready for it."
