Toph shivered, "Sokka its cold here." She said.
Sokka grimaced and took off his sweater wrapping it around her shoulders, they were back in the south pole and Toph didn't have any proper clothes, he was preparing to get some as soon as they reached their village which should be soon.
Speaking of which Aang took this moment to speak up.
"Hey guys we're about five minutes away." Aang said. Sokka nodded and cuddled up next to Toph.
"We'll be there soon." He said looking at Toph. She was so beautiful but she looked nervous. He could imagine, she didn't know what it was like there. Sokka glanced out at the landscape wishing that Toph could see it.
"What does it look like?" Toph asked. Sokka tried not to sigh.
"It's beautiful Toph." He said. She sighed and snuggled closer.
"There are large hills covered in white crystal snow, the sun shines off it just right, it looks so beautiful." He said. He turned to her and thought he saw a tear in her eye but it must have been the reflection of the sun in her eyes, her beautifully pale green eyes.
Finally they reached his village he jumped out and helped Toph down. She shrieked and jumped into his arms as soon as she felt the cold ground.
"That's even colder than the air." She whispered into his ear. He chuckled and carried her into their village.
"Sokka, is this you're bride?" his grandmother asked. Sokka blushed, Toph could feel the heat radiating off his cheeks and smirked.
"No this is my girlfriend." He said going to set her down but she shrieked again. Gran Gran caught a sight of her bare feet.
"What are you doing bringing your girlfriend to the south pole without proper footwear?" she scolded. "Come on bring her here." Gran Gran said. Sokka followed her into a tent where she picked out clothing that would fit Toph.
She then shooed Sokka out while she helped Toph get dressed.
After she was done Toph frowned.
"Well aren't you warmer?" Gran Gran asked.
"Yes but I feel like a marshmallow." She said.
Gran Gran laughed. "You'll get used to it." She said. She helped Toph get her boots on and despite the fact that her feet felt restricted she breathed a sigh of relief as she started to feel warmth crawl back into her toes.
Gran Gran redid her hair into two braids so that her large bun wouldn't get in the way. "There your ready to face the south pole." She said. Gran Gran took Toph's now gloved hand and led her outside.
Sokka was waiting with children surrounding him but he heard the tent flap and turned his head. He gaped at her.
If Sokka thought she was beautiful before she looked even more beautiful now.
Her hair was in braids and came over her shoulders while she wore a blue sweater similar to Katara's. She moved her head around. "Sokka?" she asked. He shook his head and walked over to her.
"I'm right here." He said. She smiled and reached out to him. He took her hand in his. "Are you feeling better?" he asked.
"Yes much better and a lot warmer." She said, she leaned closer to him, "But I feel like someone stuck me into a lamasheep's fur." She said. He chuckled.
"You'll get used to it." He said.
"That's what your grandmother said." Toph replied.
"Really?" he asked. "That's interesting." He said. He led her to the camp fire. "Come on they've made some food for us to eat." He said. She sat down on a mat and Sokka sat down next to her and dished her up some meat.
Toph ate a couple bites then smiled in glee. "This is good." She said. Sokka smiled.
"I know." Sokka said.
Toph yawned after finishing her plate and Sokka knew she was tired so he led her to a nearby tent that was used for the guests. He helped her into the sleeping back and kissed her before standing up to go to his own tent.
"Sokka?" she asked frightened, he sighed sadly, she was scared, she had tried not to show it all night but she was.
"I'll be right back." He said. He went and got a sleeping bag and unrolled it next to her then lay down.
"I'm right here." he said. She sighed contently and was soon asleep.
Sokka woke up early and got up to look around and go fishing a bit. Katara was helping the women with some of the chores while Aang was entertaining the children.
Toph woke up when the presence of Sokka next to her dissipated. She shot up into a sitting position.
"Sokka?" she asked. He didn't respond so she guessed that he wasn't around and stood up slowly, she had taken her boots off last night and wasn't sure how she was going to get them on again. She slid them on to her feet but she couldn't tie them and then she walked out. She could hear Katara laughing with some of the woman and Aang talking with the kids.
"Katara where's Sokka?" she asked. Katara turned to her and walked over to her excusing herself from the ladies.
"He went fishing, he was hoping to be back before you woke up but he kind of loses track of time when he's alone fishing." Katara said smiling. She leaned down and had Toph sit down so she could tie her shoes.
"There that's better." She said smiling thought Toph couldn't see her. "Do you want to come and sit with me and the women?" she asked.
"Thanks Katara but I'll be fine on my own." She said.
Katara looked at her, "Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yeah I'll just walk around a bit, I'll make sure I stay close to the camp site." She said smiling, Katara smiled back.
"Ok if you say so." Katara said, she went back to the ladies as Toph walked off in a random direction. She eventually found her way out of the camp site but could still here the laughter off in the distance. She continued walking and could here water not far off.
She almost walked right into it actually but she felt the edge and sat down, she took her gloves off and dipped her hands in the cold water and shivered.
It was actually nice to be here, she enjoyed it, the air was crisp and cool but it had an invigorating feeling and she enjoyed it.
She couldn't wait for Sokka to get back, maybe he could show her around some more, sure she couldn't see anything but just being with him was nice.
Just as Toph was about to get up and move to a different spot she heard a large crack. Her eyes widened in fear as she thought about what might happen and she scrunched them closed expecting to feel cold water at any moment.
