Day 4 Prompt: Duty

"What were you thinking?! Oh, wait, that's right. You weren't!"

"Toph, I don't see what the problem is."

"The problem, Sokka, is that you went after the Triple Triad."

"They're a problem."

"By yourself."

"I think I've proven, on several occasions, that I can handle benders."

"It's not your job! It's mine. Your job, since you've become part of the council, is to work on solving the problems and how to protect the citizens."

"And that's what I was doing. I even got one! I still don't see why you're so mad about this."

"You talk and plan and come up with ideas, you idiot! Me and my men go out there and execute those plans. Got it? You have no business going out there, especially on your own!"

An eerie quiet finally filled the interrogation room since the arrival of the childhood friends. Toph stood panting, her arms shaking and her unseeing eyes boring holes into the floor. Sokka stood near the door with his arms crossed and eyes closed. He never liked having the earth bender truly upset with him. He had only wanted to help. Since becoming a council member he felt like he never really did anything useful. It was meeting after meeting and full of peace talks and discussions of some pretty boring things. He missed the action and thought he could lend a hand with the benders getting out of hand on the street. 'Guess I was wrong.'

A knock at the door and Toph earth bended herself a seat. The water tribesman stepped aside and opened the door. Suki ran in and latched on to Sokka.

"Thank Oma you're okay! Toph, thanks so much for going to help him. If something happened I-"

" Yeah, yeah, you're welcome.". The police chief rose and put the earth back where it belonged. As she made her way past the couple she spoke again. "Remember, Meathead, we both have things were bound to and have to protect. What you do affects those closest to you."

"Toph-"

"I have to get back to work." And just like that she was gone. Sokka stood with Suki still in his arms and couldn't help but feel he had somehow failed at protecting the person closest to him a long time ago.
