Finally caved and made a journal for her.

It's about damn time, numbskull. I swear, I've been sitting up here in this empty rock you call a head and you just now make me a journal?

At least I'm here and awesome - as usual. I guess that's all that really matters. Now, go find me a Twinkletoes to harass.

[Uh... Toph...?]

Don't give me that look. Either find me Twinkletoes or Scarface. Either one will suffice. Hell, I'd even settle for making fun of Sokka at this point.

You know, Toph. That's not very nice...

[And still with the nickname!]

Eh, suck it up, Twinkle-toes. I've been cooped up in this guy's head for far too long, and I've got way too much time to make up for.

[Have a shoulder punch.]

[Translation: Good to see you again, Aang. ...Well, not SEE see, but...]

[Don't mind her stunned pause. How often does one see their dead mother? But finally she actually smiles.]

Empty? That's a change from where I'm standing.

[Toph is just gonna walk up to Lin, throw an arm around her shoulders and muss up her hair. Why? Because Toph. That's why.]

Here I thought I taught you empty was good. Easier to see when there's not too much stuff in the way.

And who gave you permission to get so tall on me anyway?

[And only because this is her mother does Lin not just avoid the arm and hair muss. She does still grump, because Lin. Enough said.]

I can see just fine. I move people out of the way when I need to.

I grew up. Sorry to disappoint you. [Not that she could have helped this, and she might just be being sarcastic. Surprise!]

[Toph just grins and slaps Lin on the back.]

That's my girl!

[Though you get a head bonk for that next part.]

Hey, don't you dare say that again. You are incapable of disappointing me. You are concentrated badass, just like me. I wouldn't expect anything less of the Daughter of the Melon Lord!

[Yeah, still not letting that go.]

[Lin just sighs as if oh so put upon. She's probably one of the few who can withstand a backslap from Toph Beifong. The head bonk wasn't all that much of a surprise, and she grimaces but holds her ground. She's been trained well, okay?]

You'll never grow up, will you Mother?

[Meaning, don't you dare ever grow up, Toph.]

[Toph just grins, squeezing Lin's shoulders. Toph knows full well Lin's been trained well.]

If you have to ask, I'm not answering.

[Meaning NEVAR!]

So, you keeping an eye on the new Avatar? If she's anything like Twinkle-toes, she's bound to be entertaining at the very least.

[Lin just might lean a little into her mother's embrace - she's missed her, okay?! And she can't help the little snicker at the hinted at answer. Good mommy, no growing up EVAR.]

It's called sarcasm. Perhaps you've heard of it.

[And then Korra's mentioned and she just snorts, looking away.]

She's... different, yes. Acts younger than Aang as I recall, at times.

[Yeah, and though she'd never say it, no matter how old and gray you get, you'll always be Toph's little boulder.]

Of course I've heard of it. I taught it to you. [She grins impishly.] I'm still extremely proud I got your first words to be calling Aang "Twinkle-toes."

[Toph's grin widens a bit.]

And you really like her, huh? Sounds like just the person to yank you out of your shell.

[Of course she always will be. That's just how their branch of the family is. Lin smirks back at that grin - scary how much someone can miss another, right?]

Of course you are. [Mixture of amusement and exasperation, right there. Only her mother.

Of course Toph knows what Lin really means. She'll just... not mention what's going on with Bumi. She'd never hear the end of it.]

She makes a decent enough Avatar, I suppose.

[Yup. She is extremely glad Lin doesn't take after her grandparents. Toph loves her parents, but were never EVER close after the crap they pulled. And yes, Toph has missed Lin like BURNING.]

Yup. My baby's first prank. So proud.

[She snickers a bit.]

Yeah. So. When are you gonna find some guy to settle down with? We gotta make sure the next Avatar is a Beifong after all.

[Now to make Lin squirm.]

[Bunch of sticks in the mud, so to speak. She loves her grandparents, BUT. Lin is very much her mother's daughter. She's definitely smirking.]

I still have the picture of his expression.

[And that smirk vanishes at the question and she gives her dear mother a glare.]

That is not something I'm going to get into with with you.

[Darn right. Just because they're now Police Chiefs, doesn't mean they don't like to break rules after all.]

As it should be.

[Yeah, she's just keeping that grin right where it is. SQUIRM! It pleases the Melon Lord!]

What about Zuko's kid? If he's anything like Scarface himself, he'd be amusing to break down. PLUS he's got avatar blood already! ...Though Bumi and Tenzin do too.
