If any of you guys have cold remedies that actually work, I'm all ears. Y'know, in case I ever need 'em again. 'Cause there's no way I'm ever gonna suck on another frozen frog, thanks.
[ So, Toph had spent the last week and a half confined to her bed. Well, just to her room. But she was in bed for most of it, because she'd come down with a strange cold that nothing could seem to cure. (Looking for a cure had been an adventure in itself. But that's a story for another time.)
That said, she'd been feeling better these last couple of days, and today she was finally able to harass someone into letting her out of the house (instead of just escaping, anyway.) The weather was starting to get cold, so it wouldn't be long before the days got too chilly for her to spend so much time outside. She was going to take advantage of what time she had left. So, after spending the morning at the barracks making sure her bending hadn't suffered from her cold (it hadn't), she wastes some time at the Avatar House's backyard, lazily raising elaborate, miniature structures and landscapes out of the earth.
And when she needs a minute to rest (because she's still only just recovering!), well, she decides that there was nothing wrong with just lying on the ground. By the end of day, she's totally covered in sand and dust and earth. But who's complaining, right? At least she isn't tracking mud into the house. ]

Action
She plops down beside him by the fire soon enough, though. She doesn't bother announcing herself since a) she knows he knows she's there, and b) she didn't want to disturb him while he was meditating. ]
Action
After a few quiet moments pass, he reopens his eyes and his mind to the world around]
It is a nice day to enjoy a fire.
Action
I guess. Since it's getting kind of cold.
Action
Mmmmm, harvest season brings with it plentiful food. Is there some sort of festival that happens around here? I think that could be quite fun.
[He is thinking of delicious treats]
Action
What kinda festival, though? Does this place even have stuff to harvest?
Action
Sugar Queen and Cap'n Boomerang?
[He'll assume Cap'n Boomerang is Sokka though]
Well people do have gardens, so they can harvest from that. If there isn't we can probably do one of our own festivals. Celebrating the changes of season, with music, dancing, and of course food. Perhaps some masks as well just for fun.
[He hasn't really heard of Halloween]
Action
That sounds neat, though. Music and food sound cool and all, but do we have to have dancing? [ Toph makes a face. Guess who isn't a fan! ]
Action
Ah, of course! Dancing is one of the great ways to express oneself. It is a great way to get people together.

Action
Ah, well you are still young. Your hands of course are for your partner, to help guide you.
Action
Yeah, but I can guide myself just fine. I don't need someone else to do the guiding for me.
Action
Most people can. Its just part of the dance, its alright to give up a little control now and again, especially to someone you like.
Action
But I guess I wouldn't mind if you did it though. You're alright.
Action
[He smiles at that]
Thank you, it would be an honour.

[Iroh can bust a move]
