... So what's your name? [ He isn't a stranger if she knows his name, technically! ] And why're you so keen on walking with us?

[welnares]

My name is Oscar. [ He looks at Toph, then at Fluffles. ] And, well, I don't feel very good when I see people walking by themselves. It looks lonely.

[seismicity]

[ Rolling her eyes!! ]

I told you, I'm not by myself. I've got Fluffles. [ He barks up at Oscar. Thanks for forgetting his presence. ]

[welnares]

[ Aw, Fluffles. You're not a person! ]

That's true. But it's always better to walk in bigger numbers at night. [ He nods to himself. ] It's safer that way!

[seismicity]

Why, 'cause it's so dark? [ She means for it to come out snidely...! But she can't help but grin a little, and that takes away the sharpness of her words. Oops. ]

[welnares]

[ Whatever he felt about the tone, that thought quickly morphs into something more congenial when he catches the faint grin. Ah, so she isn't as stony as she makes herself out to be, is she? Oscar looks up as they walk. ]

It's what's in the dark. There doesn't even have to be anything in there – we imagine things, because we can't see anything.

[ He lowers his gaze. ]

Ah, but that's probably not a big deal for you. You don't sound like you care about the time of the day.

[seismicity]

Nope, not really. Or, well, it does get kinda cold at night, so I guess that's a problem sometimes. [ She has an entire collection of cardigans and jackets thanks to dear old dad, though. So it isn't a problem either. ]

But I've been able to take care of myself fine so far. So, it isn't a big deal you know?

[welnares]

Yeah. And you've got Fluffles.

[ The next bit is less about her or him and more about people, in general: ]

Even if you can take care of yourself, it's always better to have someone you can experience everything with.

[seismicity]

... Huh. [ Toph's quiet a moment. She's never really thought about it like that before. ] I guess that makes sense. Otherwise it'd get pretty lonely.

[welnares]

That's right. So even a simple walk in the night can be better if it's more than just you. [ Including Fluffles. ]
