-ey! What the heck--?! [And more garbled noises. it sounds moist over there.] Stupid communicator.. [Durn thing went and splashed her right in the face! She clears her throat in any case, apparently done wiping her mug clean.]

I have a.. hypothetical question for um. The men. Hypothetically speaking. Hypoth-- How do you know when someone likes you?

Hypothetically... Right. Whatever you say, Katara

[Toph has temporarily forgotten she's mad at Katara. She's been distracted by a Golden Opportunity for Snark!

Seriously, no grudge is worth pass this up.]

Because the writers got their information off a crazy cabbage merchant, that's why.

[noturmother]

[She is going to throttle you, you brat.]

Yes but-- What happened?

[Audio; unlocked]

[rocklikerunaway]

[Sigh. This is a lot less fun with the anger.]

We happened. It was a play about us, our story.

You and Zuko just got captured for a while. I don't know what really happened. I wasn't there. But you probably just got mad and in his face for no reason.

[noturmother]

[It wasn't real anger. Just annoyance. A lot of it. You bring out the best in her, Toph.]

Why would I do that? Unless-- That was before he 'joined' us, wasn't it?

[INSTANTLY MOLLIFIED. Now she is curious.]

[Audio; unlocked]

[rocklikerunaway]

Gee, I don't know, maybe because it's what you always do.

[Toph, on the other hand, is remembering that she's mad at Katara.]

[sdfs]

I do not! [Someone's a hyyyypocriiiite.]

[Audio; unlocked]

[rocklikerunaway]

Do too.

[noturmother]

[dsfnjdg. Can you hear that sputter of nonsensical nonsense that she is spewing in the background? Yes, that is for you, dear Toph.]

Alright! So maybe I do sometimes; but can you just tell me what happened?

[OBVIOUSLY She hadn't 'seen' it, but surely someone had said something, right? Right?!]

[Audio; unlocked]

[rocklikerunaway]

No, I don't think I will.

Hey! Glaaaaaad I caught you. Unrelated question:

Can I talk to you for a minute?

[HE'S GOT A PLAN]

[Audio // Unlocked]

[rocklikerunaway]

Well you already are. But I guess you can keep talking.

Question: What might your opinion of Hiccup be? I'm just curious. I think he thinks you hate him.

[This is a total lie. And this is also not his main objective.]

[Audio // Unlocked]

[rocklikerunaway]

What? He told you that? What a wuss.

[Wait, he can hear this, can't he?]

... I don't hate him. He's just fun to mess with sometimes.

[Also he out-sarcasms her some of the time which is kind of cool but also kind of annoying. But like she'd ever admit to that]

[Audio // Locked to Toph 40%]

[withanokka]

Oh, so he's like the rest of us, huh?

[He gives a bark of laughter.

But seriously, oh, man, had Sokka actually GUESSED that? Wow, he knows the guys better than he thought.]

Second question: What about Jim? I think he's worried... in his own way. You know, he's like Zuko, he'll never own up to it.

[Audio // Unlocked]

[rocklikerunaway]

Yeah, pretty much!

Wait, Space-Cowboy?

[Whoa whoa, wait a second, hang on.

No.]

Is this for Katara's "research"?
