Summary: He’s the one she’ll sit still for.
Author's Notes: I own nothing.
Iroh was perhaps the only person for whom Toph would stay quite. She liked to listen to the old Firebender spin his stories, speaking up only when she had something worth saying.
It was through Iroh that she got to experiance Zuko not as an evil prince of the Fire Nation, but as a person.
A tiny part of toph that she would always swear didn’t exist sympathized with the prince, understanding what it was to be trapped in a cage crafted by family.
The rest of her ridiculed him as weak for not breaking free, as she had.
