Night Discussions

Character(s): Toph, Terra
Content: Resting for the night
Setting: Lady of Lords Soup Kitchen [F5]
Time: night
Warnings: Doubt it



Toph was tired by the time this had all come to a close. Yes, she had talked to this "Raven" girl a bit more, but they still barely knew where they were going and what they might see later. Getting back, the room had looked a lot smaller than she'd remembered, but that was OK. They only had one bed for some stupid reason, although it was big enough that the two wouldn't be on top of each other. The place had come with nightgowns, but they were terribly dressy and girlish. It was one of the rare times Toph was happy she couldn't see.

Toph's attention was immersed in the journal. Once she'd figured out how to turn people's entries to audio, she could understand a lot more. After reading [livejournal.com profile] dark_dealer's post, now she knew a lot more about Paixao. Toph shifted her attention over to Terra. The blond girl had been rather silent after her outing with Raven.

"Were you OK with her being there?" Toph broke the silence. "Did she scare you at all? You guys seemed pretty tight lipped."

Terra didn't mind the frilly nightgowns so much; she would have preferred a different outfit to wear for bed, but she was paying more attention to her new device. She was typing away a private, journal entry, summing up all of her mixed feelings from today.

She heard Toph ask her something, and she glanced over at her new friend. "Well... it was a lot better than the last time, but... yeah, she did kinda scare me," she finished with a nervous chuckle. "She always did. But when I left, we didn't exactly part on good terms."

Terra got the feeling that Raven wasn't the same Raven she was familiar with -- which was a little creepy and she couldn't grasp the idea of 'alternates.' She couldn't help but feel that it was the same for the other Terra and this Raven, though.

"Well, it's good we're starting to meet more people. Familiar or not," she said grinning.

"I hope I'm not dressed weird, or else I'm going to match with that description," Terra joked, and then listened to what else she gathered. "Shiny stuff? That's perfect! This whole place is... uhm, shiny. It wouldn't be too hard to scrape up some cash to get a new place and some new clothes."

She stopped typing and glanced at Toph again. "Oh. Just a private entry. To keep track of what I've been doing and all."

"Well, you can trust me on that. I'm not gonna dress you up in anything too odd," she laughs. "I really don't know how the rest of the clothes look around here, but they should be better than some of the ones I've seen on the street.

"Awesome. I'll try not to do the same for you," Terra said, closing up her journal and putting it to the side. "I've been told that I snore sometimes, so... y'know, if you wanna punch me in the face in the middle of the night, I wouldn't blame you."

"Good to hear. Then you're spared from my habit!"

Terra listened to Toph, and frowned a little. She glanced down into her lap, and said, "Y'know, I always wondered what it must be like, to not be able to see, hear, or say anything. I only saw a couple o'people like that, and it really made me wonder. It's good to see that you've adapted so well to it. I mean, if it were me, I think I would've fell apart." She rubbed the back of her head as she said the last part.

She nodded. "It is... it's. It's hard, depending on what and when I guess." She gulped a bit. Just a little nervous, maybe?

Terra frowned a little bit. "Yeah, sure sounds like it. But it must feel good to be out of that and be able to do what you want," Terra smiled as she said this.

She shrugged at the question of her growing up, and sits back on her bed. "It was... interesting. A little dull. Your story's actually more interesting than anything I can tell," she said.

She thought about anything she can tell Toph to interest her. "... I, uh. I destroyed a huge scorpion once?" Pause. "It was the size of a house!" Another pause as Terra mentally listed what she did that was 'totally rad' in her head. "I almost joined a super hero team," she said. Haha. Yeah. Almost.

"Man, you have no idea how close it got to me! It was right there and ready to strike me. But then, WHAM! I hit him on the head with a huge piece of earth," she said, her hands moving as if to show how it happened, and then rubbed the back of her head. "And that was how my almost-teammates found me. It was pretty cool.

"Er... actually, they were able to see my abilities quite a bit. They took me into their home and I was able to train with them. It was everything from lasers being shot at you and the ground opening below your feet," she described. She rubbed her hands together as she brought this up. She was being careful. She didn't want to reveal everything in one sitting. Toph was friendly enough, and she knew the both of them were going to be good friends, but Terra couldn't tell Toph everything yet.

"Oh, jeez. One of those guys, huh? You're always gonna have to beat one guy's butt to get the point across.

"I won't tell," Terra said, nodding. "I mean. I got nobody else to tell around here. And yeah, they train like that every day. They were seriously better than anything I could do, but they were cool enough to make it comfortable."

Quite honestly, talking about the Titans wasn't her favorite topic. But she did have to hand it to them: her time spent at the Tower were some of the happier times of her life.

Terra didn't notice her rapid heart beat, but maybe now it wasn't as rapid when she heard what Toph was going to say. Although, she wondered if Toph knew just how bad she was. She knew that Terra needed training to keep her from hurting anyone, so what if...?

She let out a sigh, and said, "That's a relief to hear. I'm glad I was a born a girl," she said jokingly. "I can only imagine what you'd do to me if I was a boy."

Terra felt prompted to grab her device again. She opened it up, and was typing away again -- this time, in response to something. "You know, decorating it probably doesn't matter, but we definitely should identify it as ours only. I'd hate to have someone come along and mistake my device for theirs," she said.

Of course, she was making idle chit chat. It was taking her mind off of something else.

"I think I'll paint mine red. Red is my favorite color. Maybe we can find some small things to put on 'em so people around here can identify it as ours. I'm sure they have stuff you can stick on here." Well, it would be simple for Toph to identify the small stickers on her device, Terra figured, and it would make nice decoration.

"Ehehe. 'Right, Toph. Just as long as I don't get smashed, I'll be fine." She raised an eyebrow at Toph's mutter threats. "Uh, what's up?" she asked.

"I'm sure they're not more interesting than you. But yeah, I know what you mean. I haven't got into making 'threads' and stuff yet. I'm still getting used to look around and getting used to this device."

She nodded -- that did make her feel better. "Thanks, Toph. For, y'know, everything. I really need help with all of this." Believe it. She needs more help than anyone else may realize.

"A team-up, huh?" She closed her device and lied back on the bed, saying, "Yeah, we're definitely gonna rock everyone." Terra laughed at her own pun. C'mon, it's funny! She yawned. "But we're not gonna be able to show everyone what we're made of if we're too tired to do so."
