Toph shook her head. "Good reason, bad reason, whatever happens, we'll deal with it. I owe you for guiding me out of this place, after all."
Toph was actually a little amused at the other questions Terra was asking. So she guessed Terra had't thought to question what Earthbending meant? Well, that was ok. Toph figured that where some of these people came from, it might be seen as some form of arcane magic, which was nonsense. Better to set Terra straight than have her think she was a witch or something.
"When you're blind, you have to make up for losing one sense that comes to most people easy. So you develop other things: smell, taste, that kind of thing. Me, I've been really good at hearing: vibrations, pulses, things like that. After a time, I found that it could help me do something else too."
Toph stopped a moment, closing her eyes. Without warning, she brought her hands to her face, arms crossed, then took a forward step with her right palm out, right leg in front of her. The snow before her suddenly shot out of her path and hit a passerby. She brought her left hand back and swept it palm down toward her waist, and another pile of snow hovered in the ait before she sent it too forward in a blast, extending her left arm out, palm up. She brought both hands to her waist, and nodded to Terra.
"And THAT, new friend, is why I became an Earthbender."
