⠀ Qiangbei stumbles a little. She slowly lowers them both to be sitting on the ground, rubbing her back gently.

⠀ “There, there.. it’s okay..”

⠀ She soothes, holding the girl.

⠀ Toph hummed, her voice uncharacteristically gentle. She gently cups her cheek, sighing fondly.

⠀ “Even if you pick the most remote places to practice.. I’ll find you somehow. I don’t want to miss out on hearing your voice.”

Narra fumbled with the scythe, accidentally slicing the log into bits, and held it behind their back.

Yup. Definitely not obvious.

“Haha, what scythe, darken friend— I mean… thanks for the compliment. Definitely wasn’t sharpening it to use against some higher beings or something.”

….yup

Narra was out in an open field in the forest, sharpening their scythe against the logs of the trees surrounding them.

They look… less chaotic and joyous, and more…

Stoic and insane.
