[Toph and Iroh begin to share a conversation over tea on a rocky hilltop]
People see me and think I'm weak. They want to take care of me, but I can take care of myself, by myself.
You sound like my nephew, always thinking you need to do things on your own, without anyone's support. There is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you. Not that I love you, I just met you.
[laughs] So where is your nephew?
I've been tracking him, actually.
Is he lost?
[looks away; slightly sad] Yes, a little bit. [cuts to shot of the rocky ledge where the two sit, the mountain region in the background] His life has recently changed and he's going through very difficult times. He's trying to figure out who he is and he went away.
So now you're following him.
I know he doesn't want me around him right now, but if he needs me, I'll be there.
Your nephew is very lucky, even if he doesn't know it. [gets up to leave] Thank you.
My pleasure. Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights.
[happily] No, thank you for what you said. It helped me.
I'm glad. [Toph rises to leave, but turns around briefly]
Oh, and about your nephew... Maybe you should tell him that you need him, too.
