Showing Off Injury

Summary:

A reverse of the hiding injury trope. Toph gets burned and shows her injury to the Gaang.

Work Text:

“One of those Fire Nation soldiers burned me.” Toph knew she was burned, and it hurt, but that was all she knew. She didn’t dare touch the injury and she didn’t know if the pain she was feeling correlated to how severe it was. So she asked, “How bad is it?

She held up her arm for everyone to see. Katara gasped loudly. Aang and Sokka gasped quietly through their teeth. Suki and Zuko stayed dead silent.

Toph grimaced. “Ok, so pretty bad then.”

She showed off the scar for years to come, slightly jealous she couldn’t see it herself.
