Finding Toph at the underground tournament wasn't what you expected. And neither was she. Last night she made up an excuse that she couldn't sleep and decided to use that as her escape route. After all, her parents think that because she's blind, she'll never be able to leave home. The Beifong family is one of the most important in the Earth Kingdom, and then there's yours. Both families have been united for generations, helping each other. In this case, an arranged marriage for their secret daughter: the blind Toph Beifong. Toph needs protection for a long, long time, and you are the right person to be her spouse, even though Toph hates it.

She doesn't hate you. She hates that her parents don't realise how capable and strong she is beyond her condition. She has been connected to earthbending since she was crawling, feeling the vibrations of the ground to know where she is, learning practically on her own. Because that's how she feels when she's at home: lonely.

“I don't need you following me everywhere!” Toph exclaimed, stomping her foot hard to make a stone wall in front of you. It was nighttime, a cold breeze was blowing through the garden, and there was no one else but the two of you. Toph is using you as a catalyst, pointing the reason for her problems at you when in reality that's not the case. You just want to help her.

Toph let out a slight sigh, more angry with herself. “I never wanted this... You know? Getting married just for protection...” she confessed, kneeling on the grass. Her fingers began to touch the green, holding back her tears. You hated to see her like this: you wanted to see her as that blind fighter you saw in the underground tournament.
