Katara just looked at Aang and then to strange girl walking on all four next to him. Now that they had Aang back with them the trio which now a quartet(thanks to Toph) were looking for a place to set up camp for the night. Many thoughts were going through the waterbender's head as they walked. Maybe he really did hit his head before busting through that rock wall. After all that had to be the reason he was claiming that Toph would be his earthbending teacher.

'That must be it' the water tribe girl thought coming to this conclusion after their camp was set up

"You can not be serious about her, Aang" Katara asked finally decided to ask a loud.

"Why not? I had a vision, this girl was in that vision thus she must be my fated earthbending teacher" Aang explained to her.

"Are you really going to do this based off that alone. Maybe if she was less well her I would feel more comfortable but can she even understand you" his waterbending teacher asked.

"She does have a name, sis" Sokka chimed in

"Yeah its Toph" the Avatar also chimed in as the girl in question merely nodded her head "See she understood me just then when her name was mention. She even acknowledges that Toph is her name" again another nodded came from Toph.

"How are we even sure that is her name in the….Whoa!" Katara yelled as she fell to the ground and the earth under her moved so the back of her shirt was being examined by the badgermole girl.

Getting Aang's attention she pointed to where strangely enough Katara had her own name printed on the back of her shirt.

"She got you there, Katara. So it most likely true that her name truly is Toph just like your own is Katara " her older brother stated helping her up.

"Fine" she said letting out a defeated sigh as it was three against one.

Now that the problem of Aang needing a earthbending teacher has been solved, the next matter business was to figure out what they were going to do next. Trying distract Toph for the moment Sokka try to accomplish this by using something a shinny. However this cause the blind girl to stare at him with questionable look that was like 'you can not be serious'. When it turned out he was very serious she even waved her hand in front of her face to show off that she could not see this shiny object Sokka was holding and talking about (even what shiny was since she was blind after all). So it was left to Aang who gave her something while they were talking about other things. It was so much that they were leaving her out things but really was not much she could input in this manner even if some of the things discuss included her.

When the talks did move on to her however she perk her head up and walked over to where they were pointing to herself.

"Yeah we talking about you as apparently you are going to need a teacher as well" Aang informed her.

This spark confusion within Toph as she merely went along with the idea of being Aang's teacher as he put because she felt that he was like herself. She was not to sure about the other two with him but it was clear he need someone to teach him how be like her. Basically since Toph thinks she a badgermole and Aang similar to her. Thus in her mind he must be one as well(a badgermole that is). A different one just like herself as she may be blind but that did not mean she could not tell the difference between herself and family(her badgermole one).

Sokka and Katara could stare as they watched Aang and Toph have their strange yet rather interesting argument with each other. Only Aang was talking(at least as what they considered to be talking) while Toph was as well but it was more like grunts, growls, and other badgermole like noises that made up her 'talking'. Also Aang was the only one that water tribe siblings seem to understand too in this argument.

The argument was pretty much one where Aang was trying to convince Toph that she was human and need to be re-taught how to be one. While the reverse was for Toph trying to convince Aang that he need to be re-taught to be a badgermole. The two continued to argue until a fight broke out between them as apparently one of Toph's method of 'talking' was translated as 'prove it' by Aang.

Since they were not really near a source of water where they camp happened to be set up at. It was a bending battle between two opposing elements of air and earth. Toph looking around trying to pinpoint Aang's location whenever he vanished from her 'sight' while the airbender tried to be tried to prevent being pin to the ground by her bending. Eventually a strange thing happened as Toph and Aang managed to launch two attack at each other that managed to hit them both at the same time. When Aang was about launched a gust of air what happening was that Toph had launched a earth claw at him. Neither able to correct themselves in time to dodge the attacks. The blind bender was launched into the air as gust propelled her into the air getting her getting her stuck in a nearby tree. While Aang was pinned to the ground by the earth claw Toph unleashed towards him.

Thus their battle ended in a draw as Aang had been neutralized along with Toph as neither one of them could bend from their current position. However that did not stop either from trying though as Toph tried to get herself free not liking being where she was currently. Aang tried to use his own bending or even attempting to try and earthbend his way out Toph's earth claw. Both had failed in doing this so it was left to the water tribe sibling to help get them down. Well truthfully it was only Katara as Sokka was too busy laughing at how the two of them had gotten stuck like they had.
