Title: Spring Thaw
Rating: K
Character/Pairing: Toph/Sokka
Summary: Spring melts the ice from the mountains.
A/N: Written for 31days, theme: fate, like the wind, swept it away. General Tokka, no spoilers.
"It's cold," she grumbled, half complaining as she waded further into the water. "And it's moving so fast."
"It's the spring thaw," Sokka explained, and suddenly he moved into her sight by stepping into the water, blurry, but a definite form for her to focus on. "The snow melts off the top of the mountains and flows down the rivers into the ocean."
Toph didn't respond, even though she tilted her head in the direction of the mountains so far into the horizon that Sokka couldn't see them and imagined she could understand how the mountains felt, melting away into the sea.
