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. ]

You sucked on a frog? [Not that her tone doesn't already say it all, but she's going to emphasize her point anyway.]
Um, ew!
tokennonbender: (So this is how it'll go.)

...I take it you're feeling better?

[Aang still worries about whether Toph is at 100 percent. When she's practicing in the yard, he steps outside with a tray of tea, to offer some to her.]

How are you feeling, Toph? [He'll stop for a moment and look on with a wonder at her creations.]

[Because Suki has been staying at the house every now and then, and spots Toph up and about.]

Nice to see you back on your feet again. Need me to get you anything?

[Iroh will be sitting by a fire he made, meditating. As he breathes in and out, the fire rises and falls. From what he had heard of this place, it would be best to maintain a good practice regime to keep the skills sharp. Feel free to come by if you are feeling cold Toph]

[He mentally acknowledges her presence, and smiles slightly, before allowing that to pass, and return his focus to the flame. To control fire one had to always be aware of its presence and potential to destroy, but also of its warmth and its life sustaining powers. As always during such times, the thought of the great dragons always filled him, their power and control was awe-inspiring.

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.
tea_lover64: (So delicious)

[Some of the most pleasant times could be had around a fire. There was a basic need in humans to huddle to warmth, and often together during such times. He hoped Toph wasn't pushing herself too much in this weather]

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]

[He's not that familiar with the nicknames you gave people, Toph]

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]

Usually, if I was with Professor Layton and I got sick, he'd bring me tea and a book of puzzles to work on.

[Katara was known as Sugar Queen to Toph? These youngsters and their funny nicknames]

Ah, of course! Dancing is one of the great ways to express oneself. It is a great way to get people together.

[That's a nice model Luceti that Toph has going there. Sokka nods approvingly.]

Well, looks like you decided to stop being gross. [The love here is palpable.]
savedtheworld: (nervous)

I'm glad to hear that, Toph! [It sounds legit.] Would you like some tea?

[personal profile] markofthewise 2013-10-14 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I just showered. If anything, I'm as un-gross as it gets.

[Sokka crouches down to inspect the model. Hmm...]

The roof is more angular on the smithy. It's too flat here.
