Moments ago, she had been high in the sky. Falling, slipping, and Sokka's grip certainly wasn't enough to keep her there, wasn't enough to keep her alive.
She had never been so scared, and Toph could still feel the tears that had escaped her eyes one last time.
Did she--?
No, she didn't.
But it was gone, and the heat that came with Sozin's Commet certainly wasn't there, only a constant beeping noise.
And if Toph was confused before, she certainly got even more confused as something that Definitely Wasn't Fire Nation Soldiers approaching her. Stance ready, Toph punched the earth beneath her, and--
It didn't budge and nothing had changed.
"The heck?" It wasn't a squeak, because Toph certainly didn't do any of that. She could feel the vibrations of these big, huge creatures coming for her, even if, deep down, the earth sang to her.
She tried again, and nothing. Toph could hear them coming, could feel their strength, and, well, she could really use some help right now-- Katara's or Aang's or Zuko's. Hell, maybe even Sokka's.
And, door opening or not, she pressed her foot down, sending vibrations all over the place. It was good time as any to leave. She really needed some help right now, even if she wasn't going to admit it to no one but herself.
2. Bath Time
There was no way Toph was getting inside the water, especially not to get herself cleaner.
Except for maybe drinking. Maybe. Which wasn't happening now. Before, the ones responsible for gathering supplies were Katara and Sokka, but mostly Katara.
"You call it dirt," Toph said, "I call it a healthy coating of earth."
And being able to bend or not, having it all over her body and clothes made Toph feel safer, if only slightly.
3. Wildcard
(Feel free to bother help her. Toph's around, can't bend and might need someone to read for her even if she won't admit it).
