Yes! I am indeed alive! I've decided to take the Tokka 100 Challenge! But to force myself out of the slump/block I've been in, I've decided to post a prompt a day. One fic of Tokka everyday for the next 100 days. I'm more determined then ever to do this. Support and opinions are always great motivators as well. Once I get this out of the way I can go back to my hiatus fics. Anyone who was waiting for updates on those, I hope you can enjoy this for now, if you have any ideas about what you would like to read in those fics, I'm all ears. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Yea, I don't own. Bryke and Nickelodeon do.

52. Eyes

Her eyes where very unsettling, Sokka always felt as if those pale green eyes were staring right through you, seeing into you actually.

Then he would remember that she was blind. She wasn't looking at you or anything else at all. Her eyes were not keen or sharp; they were hazy and rightly unfocused.

It would just seem that way when her head was turn in his direction. It was because she could sense where everything was by feeling the vibrations in the ground. She saw with her feet and so when she spoke to him, she knew exactly where he was and would face him. So long as they were on the solid ground, she saw where everything was and didn't stumble or need to have anyone direct her on where she was going.

So it was very easy for Sokka to forget she was blind. She was so capable, if not more so, as anyone else and he could see that she was not helpless due to her lack of sight. He knew that was her biggest obstacle, proving she could look after herself to everyone else but most of all herself. So Sokka treated her as he would Katara or Aang. It was because of all this that it was easy for Sokka to forget she was blind.

But why?, he wondered. Why was it that he could forget so easily? Aang and Katara hardly, if ever, made that mistake yet they never underestimated her. Why was it so hard for him to keep that fact in mind and still treat her like a normal person?

"Sokka? Soooooooka? ... HEY SNOOZLES!"

"Wha- What happened? What?" he asked wildly as he was brought back from his reverie.

Back to reality, he was reminded of his current surroundings. They were in the living room of their apartment in the Upper Ring, they had been staying here since the arrived in the city but now they had to try and figure out how to get to the Earth King and tell them of the plan for the invasion of the Fire Nation on the day of the eclipse. Aang and Katara were playing some element card game with wooden tiles. Sokka never had much interest in it; it helped pass the time sometimes though.

"Are you going to stare at me all night or do you have something you'd like to share with the class?" Toph taunted from her position on the floor, while never letting the ball she was throwing at the wall lose its bounce.

"What? I wasn't staring!" he exclaimed, embarrassed he was caught.

"Just cause I can't see you staring doesn't mean I can't feel you staring." In that offhanded manner she was so good at, and of course followed by an eye roll.

"Well, I wasn't looking at you. I just happened to be facing you while deep in thought!"

"Deep in thought, huh? Then how come I don't smell the smoke that should be coming out of your ears? She laughed in that mocking manner, Katara and Aang didn't spare his feelings by joining in her laughter.

Sokka opened his mouth to respond with a dry witty comeback but nothing that could top that. He knew he could never win with her. He let it go and continued working on his lost Appa poster.

Everything went back to the comfortable silence they had shared before. Not long after, Toph got up and started heading for the door.

"As much as I would like to sit here and be boring with the rest of you, I'm going to go find something fun to do."

"Can I come?" Sokka piped up.

"So long as you don't cramp my style, Snoozles."

Sokka grabbed his bag and went to catch up with her as she opened the front door. Now he realized why he couldn't constantly remember she was blind and treat her normal. He would just have to accept the fact that even though she was powerful, she was still blind.

Treating her like she was normal wasn't working, because the truth was, she just wasn't normal. Nor was she abnormal. She was just unique. She was simply Toph. And he wouldn't want her to be any other way.
