Look, mun, I get it. It's hard to be the only person who knows what's she's talking about when she mentions bending. But do you have to rub it in every time I have to explain my earth-bending to people?

At this point, I'd take some of those weird future people just so someone will know what I'm talking about.

You'd have to explain what the word meant but after that I'd get it. Granted if my mun actually decides to send me to Thusia. He's tossing around ideas at this point.

[sigh] An earthbender is someone who can control earth and stone by movement. Which everyone older than two in my world knows.

Right and in my world I can do this without breaking a sweat.

[There is a purple glow behind his goggles, the earth beneath them would begin to rumble before a platform of ground that could hold their weight rose into the air.]

[don't surprise her like that]

That's moving earth, but it isn't earthbending. They feel different, and your form's all wrong.

...

Not that that's not pretty sweet.

[He'll land them back down again.]

What is the difference? Actually shifting the earth to do what you want or what?

If that's the case.

[Toph would feel the earth shift a little bit away from them and then a rock pillar would form out of the ground. Sure he still didn't move his body more than to look in the direction he wanted but it was still a little above basic bending level.]

I don't know. It's just... like the difference between the sound of a flute and a horn. And you're not moving.

[sighs again, and makes her own pillar, deliberately exaggerating her bending stances more than she needs to]

Mm I guess it isn't the same. Maybe you would call what I do Mindbending. It can do all of the other bending methods but it's different. My mundane likes to compare me to your friend Aang because I'm different from most people from my world.

One of the people from Thusia tried to explain magic like that. Well, not from Thusia, but from somewhere else.

So you got some kind of Avatar job?

I don't think so but we're both bald, glow when we use our power and can do a lot more than other people.

[Actually Karl was curious about something.]

For instance, do you want to know what it's like to see? It would only be temporary and you wouldn't even be seeing through your eyes.

You can do that?

I've never really thought about it before. Really, I like seeing things my way.

Among other things yeah. Usually I do it the opposite way; I see what other people see but the reverse isn't much harder.

Really it would just be something to do for fun and you won't be altered by it.

People around here don't know what bending is?

[Somehow she doesn't like the sound of that.]

[considering it]

Fine. Whatever. I still don't need sight, though.

Well, around where I end up. They have all kinds of other powers, but I say earth-bending and they go 'what's that'?

Of course not. It can be overrated compared to your other way of sensing things.

[Karl would sit down to be more at her height.]

It might feel a bit strange but don't worry about it.

[After a minute Toph would feel something of a pressure in her head. A few moments after that she would find that she could see. Well sort of, she was seeing through Karl's eyes so she was looking directly at herself.]

[this is probably the most confusing thing I have ever experienced]

You can still move you know and don't be afraid to ask questions.

[Considering she could never see he figured she'd might want to know what color was what.]

[she's still sorting out what color is]

That's me?

Yeah. You didn't think it was me, did you?

[He was just teasing of course. He figured at the very least her earthbending sense could tell her the height difference.]

Well, it's not like I have much to compare it to.

Good point. Let me know if you need me to close my eyes so you can move around normally.

I don't actually need my eyes to know where I'm going either.

[He can mentally map out all of London in his head or possibly more.]

Hang on, I'm still getting used to this.

Alright, it isn't any rush. Honestly I'm just glad I can slow down for once. My mun keeps getting me into confrontations with people.

Interesting ones?

[is making faces now, mostly to see what happens]

Sometimes but it also makes me feel like an egomaniac. Since normally I show off my powers to these people to frighten them off but I can't do everything or well...

Imagine if an earthbender could bend a person's bones the same way they bend rock.
