The sun's going down, so there were no problems putting the girls to bed.

Still, Mel's not inside. She's squatting on the edge of the bunker, with the shared bassinet right next to her, her axe the only thing between them, staring out in the direction her brother left in.

Keeping vigils for the Sokkas probably isn't the healthiest thing to do, especially as she left him herself for her sisterly "road"trip. But this is different. She's worried.

Toph smirks. "Yeah, something like that.

"So they're Firebenders, huh?"

It's a bad segue, but she's unembarrassed by it. She's also casually conversational; curious, not threatening.

"Why does everyone think I'm going to hurt the babies?" Toph objects. "They're Sokka's family, and that's OK."

"Sure he was."

Toph's skeptical, but trusting. It may be hard for her to accept that a Firebender could be good, but she will, for Sokka's sake. And because Mel's telling the truth.

"You don't have to convince me of it."
