to all women and close friends (team avatar) my dms are open

-they’re so long and huge, it’s… -

- … i’m getting off track.

( her head nods up. she isn’t as composed as usual. maybe the excitement of talking to an earthbending avatar is getting to her. )

i’m toph.

( a hand extends out for a handshake. )

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

( so far, this avatar is her favorite. well … second favorite. it’s hard to top aang. )

yeah. he’s nice enough. his dragon is pretty cool, but i’m pretty terrified to ride it since … the badgermoles told you im blind, right?

i don’t really mind the feeling of flying, but-

um- and it’s a pleasure to meet you too.

( at the mention of the badgermoles, toph lights up. )

i’ve only met with the other guys. aang, roku… but i haven’t met an earthbender. i’m guessing you’re one, right?

( she plops down onto the soft ground next to kyoshi, feet kicked up in the air. )

ㅤthe badgermoles told me about you, i knew you before you knew me.

ㅤi was the avatar during my long lifetime, kyoshi. it's a pleasure to meet you. please, sit with me.

( the lady in front of her seems rugged. her energy – similar to someone else she knows. )

… are you the avatar ?

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

no one even knew i existed until someone showed up. someone like you … sort of.

( she takes a few steps closer to get a better picture, bare feet planted strongly on the ground. )

you feel really familiar.

does it *need* elaboration? i wasn’t being that serious.

[𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 ࿐࿔ @THEWAYOFWATERR]

( .. ?? )

Are you going to elaborate on that, or .. ?

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

all im saying is its a little much at times

[𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 ࿐࿔ @THEWAYOFWATERR]

aang and katara are so SAPPY

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

I do NOT want to think about that time when I was baby again.

Been awhile, huh, twinkletoes?

( Toph rests on the edge of a sliffside. One day, in the middle of a nap in the swamp, her time came. She didn’t bother fighting. It was one of the few battles she knew she couldn’t win.

@OMITTEDBENDR ooc.

sorry for the super late response! i’m guessing she’s dead by now? or is korra seeing the young adult version of her?

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

[ lost in thought for a moment, her head nods up. ]

… What the hell, sure. Maybe the boots won’t be too bad.

[𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 ࿐࿔ @THEWAYOFWATERR]

( .. !! )

[ ahem. ]

Right! Of course. (💧)

There should be a boat docking fairly soon to bring you by. So I’ll see you in a bit, then?

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

… me ?

( she turns her head. )

Duh. How else would I get to the South Pole? I don’t think I should be trusted with a vehicle.

[𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 ࿐࿔ @THEWAYOFWATERR]

Well.. ( 😅 )

Perhaps I could have someone bring you? If.. you’re okay with that, of course.

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

Maybe I can make boots from earth… but it wouldn’t really keep me warm.

( shrug. )

It’s not like I have anything else going on. I wouldn’t mind going if I could figure something out.

[𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 ࿐࿔ @THEWAYOFWATERR]

( .. ! )

.. w-well I’m sure there’s an alternative, right? Besides if you don’t want to come by and visit then you don’t HAVE to. (💧)

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

( sigh… )

I dunno. I HAVE to wear the boots, unless I wanna lose my feet to frostbite or something. But it’d probably be impossible for me to see with them on!

[𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 ࿐࿔ @THEWAYOFWATERR]

We do, yes.

But it’s really nice ! (☺️) I’ve missed the cold weather, a lot.

and the boots really aren’t that bad either you know.. you should come visit sometime !

[“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 ” @greatest_eb]

Oh. I think I was just confused then, whatever.

You guys have to wear really thick clothing there, right? Man, that sounds miserable. Especially those boots.

Ugh.

[𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 ࿐࿔ @THEWAYOFWATERR]

( .. ? )

It’s nothing worth worrying about about, toph. My feet are just sore from walking back and forth throughout the village all day since I got home.

Nothing major.
