(no subject)

Toph didn't go into the pizza party. Partly because she doesn't know what a pizza is, partly because the linoleum on the kitchen floor makes everything annoyingly out of focus, but mostly because she wanted to be on her own. It seems she wants to do that a lot these days.

She surveyed the bunker: fixed some structural damage, reinforced it, expanded a little. But then she ends up crouched on the edge, toes curling against the rock, head bowed.

She could be accused of staring into space, except she doesn't really stare anywhere.

Okay. That sounds like either an invitation to probing questions to get her to air her feelings on the matter or a cue for a subject change.

Thrust doesn't know her that well.

"So are the powers hereditary?" He's pretty sure he's never going to figure out how it works, but that doesn't mean he's not curious enough to try to form a hypothesis.

And Thrust is used to being that person, not talking with that person.

"Huh." Then he shrugs. "I keep tryin' to figure out how stuff works," he says, by way of explanation.

"I believe it." Thrust has no idea how she does what she does, except that it's obviously not tied to her world but right to her. "But there's stuff to figure out about it-- like why some got it and some don't." For a start.
