[Buzz Buzz went the bracelet. Hey, lookie, it's a message. Audio, because what was the point of a text message (or for that matter a video?). The slightly rough and ragged voice from the half-demon with the tail came on again.]

Hey, Toph, I found you right?

[ Oh, a call! The bracelet is still pretty weird, but she's got it figured out pretty well by this point and manages to answer with little trouble. ]

Yeah, it's me! Hi, Sam!

Hey. I wanted to check how you were getting settled in.

[She'd been reading her notes on runes for the last couple days too, just to be sure what could be done to help Toph since her powers wouldn't work here at all. The answers hadn't been great, but they had been at least something.]

Fine. Getting bored. Usually I punch rocks around when I get bored.

[ BUT SHE CAN'T DO THAT HERE. ]

Nothing saying you can't get boards and rocks to break around here. Might need to work on the aim considering, so bricks might be better. I mean, breaking boards doesn't go well if you miss your mark.

...speaking of that, though. I had an idea that might help.

Yeah?

[ There's a hopeful, excited hint to her tone. ]

What's the idea?

Your house powers aren't the only magic here. There are potions, and there's runes. I'm not sure that I can get it so you can feel the way you used to, but if you could get your hearing enhanced somehow, would that help you at all?

Uh, yeah. It would.

You can do that?

There are runes, Toph. I... well, we'd have to tattoo them to you. It hurts like hell, but I can make an array on your skin. They don't last forever. Each one works for about an hour and recharges, but it could improve your hearing a lot.

Probably not perfect, but I bet it would help. Just ... be careful if you hear really tiny giggles.

Hey, Toph. You got any free time soon?

Are you kidding me? I've got nothing but! I hate to say it but the freedom's almost getting boring.

Please tell me you weren't locked in a tower with your mom all your life.

[ Uhm. ]

Aaaactually not that far off. It was a house, though, with a big garden, and dad too, and my earthbending teacher when he came around.

You knew someone who was locked in a tower?

Yeah, but her mom turned out to not even be her mom, and shit got weird from there.

Anyway, uh. We can talk about that later, but there's somebody I wanted you to meet.

Yeah, I'd like to hear that story. But I'm guessing she's not who you want me to meet.

Edited 2014-10-04 07:33 (UTC)

Yeah, sure thing.

And... yeah. I want you meet my-

[How does she say it? What does she call her? Fuck, what was it that they agreed on was the least weird?]

My girl, Riley.
