Can someone tell Zuko to… lighten up?

[Catches his own joke and immediately breaks into a laugh a minute later.] LIGHTEN UP—! AHAH! HAHAHAHA!

[groans.] And Sokka says /I'm/ bad at making jokes...

Don't make me come after you next—

Well. You look like... ... Sokka with his hair down. So. [she isn't witty in the slightest—]

Ugh. Boys...

Okay! Uh... How does an otter penguin build its house?

It builds an igloo— I mean ... it- it igloos it together. ... Igloos it together. Get it? Ahaha— [distant cough in the background.]

That you're like... my brother. But evil. And thus we could Never Date. [says it loud enough for Toph to hear.]

Hah. Okay, the igloo joke was clever.

Implying he ever made sense to begin with.

... [she ends up letting a small giggle slip through. oh no.]

Of course not. I didn't even think you'd be capable of something so emotionally complex— [and she's making sure Toph can hear such sentiments—]

... Aren't you one of them?

....... Well. At least someone appreciates quality humor around here.

[an eyebrow perks.] Are you saying my love life is complicated? Or are you saying /I'm/ complicated? [Toph better be hearing all of this. Look at this hardcore proof of incompatibility!]

[sigh.] What's he saying now?

[her expression scrunches up. She at least heard the "I can't get a read" part...] Seriously? I'm not complicated at all. I told you exactly how I was feeling— [in the woods. during a private convo. that Toph shouldn't have heard.]

... [suddenly, maybe she doesn't want Toph to hear this. she closes the gap between them, azure meeting gold...] You're saying I have a lot of baggage or what? [he's one to talk.]
