[She points ahead. He might not be able to see it yet, but she can.]

Sokka's work. He might be there, but I'm sure he won't mind if we borrow some stuff!

[~~Assuming you meant to say "not"~~ Aang's smile fades at the mention of Sokka.]

Right. I should have guessed sooner. That is the best place for metal-y stuff.

[~~Whoops yes~~ Toph nods again.]

Uhuh. They've got a ton of it not even being used. So what better use to put it to than metalbending practice?

[He chuckles.]

Sure, they won't even know it's missing! And I can make it into stuff for them later anyway, if I get good enough.

That's true! I bet those smithy suckers would be glad to have our fine metalbending work.

[Like that Hiccup guy, what a loser.]

Yeah! [Except they're not suckers they're nice people.] There's a whole lot of things you can do with metalbending, huh?

Yep! Just like regular earthbending, it can be used to build things. But unlike regular earthbending, it can be bended and twisted and reshaped. You can't exactly twist a rock into a new shape, but you can with metal.

Wow... I could make a whole lot of fun things if I can get it down! Like a necklace even better than that seashell one!

...You're gonna use metalbending to make jewelry? [For Katara?]

[For Katara. And anyone else, really. He shrugs.]

It's a hobby. [He took it to heart when Sokka told him he'd have a future in the jewelry business.]

Kind of a sissy hobby, if you ask me.

[He replies teasingly.]

Good thing I asked myself instead, because I say it's a cool Avatar hobby. ...And Katara liked my necklace, too.

Yeah, sure. And you're all about impressing Katara, so...

I'm not all about it! Just... mostly.

[She cackles a laugh at that.]

Come on, Lover Boy. We're here. [She waves him towards the smithy door.]

[He sheepishly prepares a retort, but he gives it up when he notices the smithy.]

Alright. [He steps ahead to open the door, hoping no one's busy in there.]

[Inside, she points to a storage closet.] They keep the unfinished metal stuff in here.

[He nods and quietly opens the closet, then begins to survey the choices.] You're right, there is a lot.

[Aang looks back and forth a few times to ensure that no one's waiting to punish them nearby.]

[Toph, on the other hand, doesn't seem at all concerned about going right in and taking what they'll need. They won't miss this stuff! She's sure.]

Here, carry this. [She picks up a metal sheet and hands it to Aang.]

[He fumbles a bit in catching it, still distracted by the idea of getting someone mad.]

Oh, okay!

[She picks out a few more sheets after rapping on them, and--yep, that should do it.]

Alright, we're good here. I figure we can practice in the woods just a little ways away.

[He takes a moment to shuffle the sheets he's carrying together, and then he heads for the exit.]

I'm fine with that. And I doubt it'll bother Moro or anything.

[She pushes the door open with her back.]

Moro? Who's that?

[He slides on through and stomps up a piece of earth just large enough to act as a doorstop, pulling it back after they've both walked through.]

You never met her? She's this giant wolf spirit who protects the forest. Most of the people here seem to be aware of her. She seems to get... kind of mad about people messing around with the forest.

That's what that is? [Come to think of it, she'd felt a big creature in the woods with her earthbending when she'd practiced out there sometimes. But she'd never bothered to go see what it was.]

She sounds cool.
