[Audio only is rare for Toph. Usually she doesn't even bother to toggle the settings; it doesn't matter to her whether she's seen or not. But today, right now . . . it's audio only, and her words come out hard and flat.]

Last night I had a dream. About a kid with a woman who was teaching him to earthbend. He pretty much sucked at it.

He was wearing a soul gem.

[There's a pause. For a long moment she says nothing else. But the silence is almost tangible in its thickness.]

He was home. My home.

[There's an undercurrent that runs through the words here, dark and weighted.]

[It's rage.]



((ooc: Toph can only "see" through seismic sense, so although she dreams, she still doesn't see images in the traditional sense -- and can't see color. So for ooc puzzlings, I shall pass on that the boy's hair shifted colors in the dream in case it's important and matches up with anything else.))

Like...your turtle home? Or your home home?

[Because, um.]

[He waits until she's stopped talking, until she's gotten at least the edge of her anger out, before he clears his throat.]

Hey Toph, do...do you wanna talk about it?

So, an exchange.

[His tone is thoughtful.]

I wonder if that was on purpose.]

I had one too.

[Tony looks unsettled, and a little uncomfortable.]

There was a kid with a soul gem too, and my dad was talking to him. I couldn't hear what he said. The kid, his... skin changed colors? Like camouflage. I think he must have been kedan.

[He pauses for a few seconds, then slowly adds,] It's like they changed places with us, isn't it? When those kedan got soul gems - maybe the gems don't just "tie" your soul to a universe. Maybe they're part of how our souls get transported.

You mean... someone from here, sent back to your world?
