[The girl on the screen is tiny, likely barely more than 12. Her arms are folded across her chest, and her eyes, pale, seem to glare at the screen.]

[. . . Kind of. There’s also something a little off about that glare. It doesn’t quite seem to focus like a glare should.]

Okay, so whose bright idea was it to put dirt on some of the turtle shell, but not all of it? If you’re going to put dirt on a turtle in the first place, you should at least not be stupid about it and finish it off.

Also, what kind of turtle are we talking about here? Is this a turtle-duck, or a lion-turtle, or what? I tried to ask one of those kedan guys, but they wouldn’t tell me.

[A small smirk, highly self-satisfied.]

Guess they were still sore.

[She shrugs.] Anyway, name’s Toph for anyone who cares. You’ll learn it soon enough.

[Waking up as blind as she would have been without her bending was a jolt. Then add that to the fact that she had been sleeping in the enemy's house . . .]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just didn't know who they were when they wanted me off their floor.

[Her head lifts with another smirk. Her eyes still aren't focusing on anything in particular.]

You don't just sneak up on someone who's blind.

[donttouch]

Geez, that's rough. Sounds like you handled it, though.

...this place kind of just keeps finding new ways to suck.

[dustonmyfeet]

[And the big grin returns.]

Always do!

So what's your story?

[donttouch]

Name's Rogue. I've only been here a couple of months. Nice to meet you.

_{( Totally skipping the actual story? Totally skipping the actual story. )}

[dustonmyfeet]

Big story. Sure it'll sell big.

[But it's said with amusement more than anything else. Toph really doesn't care if the story is given or not.]

So . . . do you actually steal stuff, or is it just a name?

[donttouch]

Just a name. I haven't stolen anything for awhile.

_{( That might be a joke. )}

[dustonmyfeet]

[A grin at that.]

I'm the Blind Bandit.

[donttouch]

Impressive. And bandits and rogues gotta stick together, right?

_{( She laughs. )}

[dustonmyfeet]

Seems like it.

[And this one seems like a good egg, so.]

[donttouch]

So, you know, if you need anything, you can let me know. I haven't been here that long, but I've sorta got the hang of things.

[dustonmyfeet]

Thanks.

Same here.

[donttouch]

No problem. And, good luck.
