[ Toph is on the path leading into the Alpine District, and anyone in the vicinity may feel the ground trembling every few seconds. The Seal shows a strange sight: a young, obviously blind girl moving surely down the trail, pausing every few seconds with a series of martial arts poses.

[Too bad she can't see the astonishment on his face]

[visibilityzero]

[ Toph stops what she's doing, her head turning towards the Seal's position although her eyes don't track to it. But with surprising accuracy for someone who can't see, she comes over and picks it up from the rock it'd been resting on. ]

[from the top of the path, looking surprised and excited]

Oh wow, are you a magician too?

[visibilityzero]

Huh? A magician?

[ Toph firmly plants another few rocks into position before turning in the other girl's direction. ]

[lightcharms]

Yeah, what you're doing---it's like magic!

[visibilityzero]

[seethemoon]

[That's... kind of cool on Supey's book. He's been staring for a few minutes.]

Are you a telepath?

[visibilityzero]

No. [ wait. ] What's a telepath? I'm an Earthbender.

[seethemoon]

It's somebody who can control things as they please, just like you seemed to be doing with the ground.

...What's an Earthbender?

[visibilityzero]

Huh. Maybe they're kinda the same.

[Kiki's been watching with rapt attention.]

Um, excuse me... are you a witch?

[Oh, she hopes so!]

[visibilityzero]

Do I look like some creepy old hag to you?

[ lol stereotypes ]

[flywithspirit]

[Kiki's mouth flaps open and closed a few times.]

No. [And who knew she could still talk while grinding her teeth this hard?] You look like a witch.

[visibilityzero]

[ Toph actually laughs, she can feel Kiki bristling. ]

You're just like an angry little cowturkey, aren't you? I'll bet if you had feathers they'd be all puffed out right now.
