[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.

So you're from the future too? Don't think she gave it a name, but yeah.

Told her I didn't want to know much about future me. I mean, if it happens, it happens, right? I don't need to know.

That's a wise idea. [Because it gets him out of explaining it.]

And if you need anything here, most of the foreigners - that's what people from other world like us are called - are generally helpful. I'd avoid asking too much of the kedan. Some are friendly, some are...less than.

[Dry expression.]

Yeah . . . kinda noticed that. Any reason for it?

Some of them believe that we are here to cause trouble, or are too dangerous because of bending and other abilities, or are just competition for resources.

. . . And what do they think when "foreigners" save their butts from that apocalypse thing?

Do they really think we're going to put our lives on the line to save their home? I hope they aren't getting their hopes up.

Seems like some of them do. "Foreigners," again, I mean. Least from what I'm hearing.

[But she's taking it that you didn't join them, Tarrlok.]

I don't blame anyone who wants to fight, but at the same time I don't think it's right to take us here against our will and expect us to be their soldiers. Don't let anyone pressure you.

Never do.
