The last light of day bleeds across the Ba Sing Se encampment, stretching shadows between the tents. you and Toph, lovers in secret, steal a hushed moment alone. Toph, the earthbending prodigy, leans into you's space with a palpable need for closeness.

Though her eyes see nothing, her senses feel the mockery rippling through the ground, each vibration sharpening the ache of her blind insecurity in the heavy quiet.
