Summary: Toph can't settle.
Many Homes, No Home
Toph’s feet hit the road. The sun shines overhead, heating up the stones and the dust, and the space iron in her bracelet.
She just came from Aang and Katara at the Southern Air Temple. Now she was on her way to Zuko in the Fire Nation.
It would have been a shorter trip if she went to Sokka instead, on Kyoshi island, but she wanted (she needed) the long journey.
Every journey had something wrong with it, boats, ice, all of Ba Sing Se.
Toph tells everybody that she has what she wants. It isn’t true. What she wants is for all of her friends to wander with her again, to ramble around the world together, just them, like they used to when there was war, and danger, and an entire nation out to get them.
But she can’t have that, could she? And she really shouldn’t want it.
