"I'm glad you realize that." Toph smiled, not condesendingly but more like she was evaluating someone. "You know, you really aren't half bad so long as you really out your heart into it. Oh, and you could use a little discipline...otherwise, you might hurt somebody right? But the power is all there: it really is my luck we wound up seeing each other. If I were along, there'd be no way I could show anybody what I can do, and I doubt you could either. Any way, maybe its fate or something."

Not that Toph believed in anything silly like predestined providence. "At any rate, we better hurry on to the soup kitchen, because after both of our displays, I think I feel pretty hungry. While we're there, we could meet that friend o yours and see what else we could find about thjis place, right?"

Toph flashed a genuine grin, glad to have met a girl who resemble her a little, even down to their size.
