Thankful through the use her her she know it's her loving companion, by his somber in each step she can tell he wasn't himself. "Hey Snoozle." She called in a firm yet caring tone. "What's with all the mopping?" Sokka jolted a little when Toph's voice reached into his had his head downcasted that he didn't notice her presence. "Hey Toph,how are you today?" He said with deadpan.
"How am I?What about you walking all doom and gloom.I almost mistakened you for let me ask you again,what's the matter?"
He sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Come on let's go need to talk." He held out his hand to the 's eyebrows furrowed,but she didn't allowed him to guide her to the small complex they shared.
When they both entered Sokka closed the door behind took a longing breath and looked into her glossy eyes that hid under her jet,black bang.
"Toph,I recived a message today from my dad and...I have to stay at the South Pole for a while." "Why? What did the letter say?" She asked. "My father wrote that I failed to my masculinity to my tribe because I didn't achieve the survial task."
"But you already proved that you're a man when you helped saved the world four years ago!" She thrashed her arms in the air.

"Oh Toph." He was taken back, he felt terrible. "Sokka please don't go." She held him as if he'll float away. "I'm sorry Toph I have to."
The earthbender would go everywhere with Sokka just to be by his side anywhere but the South hated the she had to wear shoes to prevent frostbites,she truly felt blind and hopeless.
Her blind eyes watered more when he lifted her head wiped her tears away with his thumb and pecked both of her pale reached to his holster on his back. "Here." He told ran her fingers through the metal object trying to detect it.
"Your boomerang?What's this for?" "It's so that you'll remember my promise,that no matter what,I'll always come right back to you."
