Footsteps

It's been six years since she left

Since she took off on her own

Walking through the forest she can feel footsteps

They're unfamiliar and heavy

Instinctivly she slips into earthbending stance

The footsteps stop and she can't feel him

Suddenly she can sense him again only a few steps away

Before she can make a move he says one word

"Toph."

Her blank eyes widen

"Twinkletoes?"

His footsteps aren't so light anymore .
