As odd as it may seem, Toph's blindness granted her the ability to see things others could not. A mask couldn't hide someone's identity, and a lie never deceived her. Because of this ability, she often had many opportunities to surprise and tease her friends.
And an opportunity such as this wasn't one she could pass up.
Toph had known about the spying since it began, and had been patiently biting her tongue, waiting for the perfect moment to announce her discovery.
That time had finally arrived.
With the men of their little group gone, Toph could tell Katara the news without worry of interference. After all, this was supposed to be their little secret.
Plopping down beside the older girl, Toph casually said, "For a firebender, Zuko sure seems interested in waterbending."
"What makes you say that?" Katara asked, turning to face the earthbender.
Toph fought back a grin, trying to remain casual. "Oh, you know, the fact that he's been watching you practice every night kinda makes me assume so."
Katara snorted. "Zuko, watching me practice? I think I'd notice."
"Oh, he's surprisingly stealthy," Toph assured. "Besides, who else do you think was watching you from the trees last night?"
Katara stiffened, and Toph could no longer hide her grin.
"How long has he been watching?" Katara demanded, though Toph could tell her heart wasn't pounding because of anger.
"Oh, he started about a week ago. Don't worry, he wasn't spying for any perverted reasons."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
But rather than answering, Toph simply said, "Look, here he comes now. Maybe you should talk to him about it."
Katara wordlessly agreed by storming off in the direction of the prince, who was both surprised and confused when he received a slap to the face.
Author's Notes: Woot! Another update! This drabble is sorta connected to the last one, but it should still make perfect sense by itself.
