[Iskierka is in her suite today, frowning at a hole in her wall, close to the floor. Through the hole can be seen the back legs and shell of a young turtle, and Iskierka huffs a moment, as she sees what her adopted progeny is up to. The turtle's happily munching away on a fine piece of cloth, draped somewhat artfully on a wall and pinned there.]

Yin! Do not eat that, it is not filling at all. [She abandons the console for a moment to attempt to hold the young turtle back, and then shoves the tapestry up a bit higher.]

Come along, Yin, we shall find you some fish or some plants; perhaps a stew -- may turtles eat stew? I suppose that Gong Su would know, but he is not here.

[Then her neck cranes back towards the console, still keeping a firm claw on the erstwhile Yin.]

Does anyone know what young turtles might eat?

[Toph lifts a shoulder.]

One way to find out, I guess. [She drums her hands on the floor to catch the turtle's attention.] C'mere, Yin!

[Another grin as Yin changes direction, raising her hands to brace against the inevitable headbutt (that sends Toph flopping over anyway).]

Her mouth's here somewhere. You want to stick a hand in and find out?

[Do dragons even have hands? Whatever. Isky's a little prissy sometimes, and Toph is going to poke at it.]

[There's a slight huff, there, but she acquiesces easily enough, tentatively offering a talon to Yin. --Who promptly gives it a lick.]

I do not think that is drool; she is simply very enthusiastic. I have never heard of a proper dragon drooling, so why should turtles?

[Wow, she actually did it. Points for Isky. Toph snickers, pulling herself back into a sitting position.]

Well, dragons and turtles aren't exactly the same, you know. And if she's got a tongue, I'm betting she's got spit.

Are you wet or not?

Somewhat, but I am always steaming; so it is no great matter.
