Curiously, Slipstream lost her footing, where she had scanned no structural seam or defect below. No smaller mechanisms or organics appeared to be directly underfoot.
She fired thrusters, quickly enough that she righted herself without an embarrassing public fall. It was then, hovering a short distance above the substrate, she identified the small organic with the unusually pale eyes.
"Toph," She said. Slipstream hovered over, then alighted on the ground near the bench on which the girl sat.

"Slipstream, right?"

"That wasn't by chance you having fun, there?" She lifted her left thruster, then set it down again, to indicate a step.

So instead, he settled on the idea of having two bookends made of himself for Roxanne. It seemed a bit silly but there was a reason. To him, this was better than a portrait. These were 3-D stone models of himself and he thought it was a perfect idea. Not that he couldn't make the statues himself, he knew the importance of why Toph needed the money and the work. If he could have Roxanne show off the small statues at work, maybe that would bring in some people from the outside in. It was worth a shot.
Megamind, you've gotten soft. He thought to himself. If it wasn't for Roxanne in the first place, he wouldn't have gotten this far ( ... )

She didn't seem to notice him until he was just a few feet away, at which point the girl made a slight movement with one hand and slid her foot along the ground. The ground under him slipped sideways suddenly. Oops.
So much for awesome entrances.

Now he know not to do that again. His cape covered his head. "I think I'll just stay down here." Yep, he's embarrassed.

She stamped a foot; the ground itself raised him back upright, but she couldn't get the cape to flip back. He'd have to handle that himself.
