>Sokka moves to Republic City to serve as representative of the Southern Water Tribe, after years of helping getting it up and running after the war.
>After getting on the nerve of some metalbending recruits, they pair him up on a blind date with their instructor as a prank, seeing how no man can stand her company for an extended period of time.
>Toph, now a Christmas Cake, is surprised to be drinking next to her childhood crush, when expecting just another suitor trying to charm her.
>After a couple of hours catching up, Sokka relating his apprenticeship to his father and renewing connections between Water Tribers, and her recounting how her metalbending school evolved into the Republic City police force, Toph insists on taking him bar-hopping through the best speakeasies of the boroughs of the city.
>As the night goes on, and they get tipsier and tipsier, Toph admits that isn't taken seriously by her peers, ironically, because of her appearance.
>While she was once underestimated for her small size and stature, she's now taunted by coworkers calling for her to settle down to a desk job, if not retire to
>Even other women have called her a hippo cow in whispers.
>Her parents used to send suitors in her directions for a few years, but after she got to a certain age, it slowed down to a trickle.
>She still gets a few dates from men who only hear of her fortune, that don't last half a night due to her boorish behavior.
>Despite all that, she doesn't mind her body type, although she wishes she didn't have to wrap herself so tightly to prevent jiggling in every direction while on the job.
>The dates at least give her a chance to wear nothing at all under her robes and gets her meals she doesn't have to pay for, even though she's able to buy any restaurant if she wanted to.
>Noting herself talking stream of conscious, she asks Sokka what's on his mind, and if he's been seeing anyone lately...
Nothing at all!
Nothing at all!
NOTHING AT ALLLL
