Toph and Lil, 10/16
Toph has some very pointed things to say to Lil on the subject of Lydia, and just enough bluntness to do it in public. Lil is unimpressed.
angry. Seeing a friend be genuinely upset by something was definitely one of them. And when that upsetting thing was another person, well. Toph wasn't the type to sit by and let things happen.
Lydia probably wouldn't have approved on principle, but Lydia hadn't said to stay out of it either. So when Toph stepped into the hallway of the girls dorm and sense a very specific figure at the other end, it seemed like some pretty good timing. And a way to work out some frustration.
"Hey!" She said sharply, stomping her way on down. "You. We need to talk."
"Huh?" Looking up from where she was unlocking her door, Lil's brow creased when she scowled down at the younger mutant who'd just hollered at her.
Lydia's ex roomie.
Great.
Swallowing down the groan, the giantess half turned and popped her hip out to the side as she crossed her arms, standing her ground by the entrance to her room. "And what exactly do you wanna talk about, Toph? Am I keeping my arm too high to use my key right?"
"Like I care," Toph said with as derisive a snort as she could manage as she finished storming her way up to Lil, all five feet of righteous indignation. "You wanna get to it? Fine. The next time you threaten one of my friends, you get to go through me. You got that?"
Yup. This was really wanted to deal with today. "You're gonna have to be more specific than that, Sweetie," Lil grunted. "I threaten alotta people all day long. Help me narrow the list a bit, huh?" Of course, she knew exactly who Toph was referring to, but the Canadian would be damned if she admitted it straight off the bat.
"You what?" Toph stared in her vague direction with narrowed eyes, momentarily derailed. "What is wrong with you?"
"Other than being born a bitch?" Lil shrugged. "Well, for one thing, someone hollering down the hall at me like I'm some kinda animal tends to put me in a grumpy mood."
"Who cares what your mood is?" But Toph just drew herself up as high as she could. "Okay then. You threaten anyone again, you get to deal with me. But you especially stay as far away from Lydia as you can. You got me?"
Even slouching, the Canadian stood a foot taller than the other girl. "It was a joke, Sweetie. I ain't threatened anyone and that includes Lydia, who, trust me, I don't want a damn thing to do with."
"Yeah, you've had a lot of conversations with her for someone you don't want to deal with," Toph said with a sneer. "And trust me, if you ever tell someone you're gonna break their nose again, I'm gonna show you what that feels like."
"Firstly, half the conversations we've had, she's initiated. Second, I ain't threatened to do that since she was trying to break me and Scott up. I figure it wouldn't do much anyway since she'd probably got the cash just to go get another nose job."
Toph gave her a look that would have been impressively dirty if it were actually aimed at her. "Wow, are you an asshole. I can see why he'd like her better."
She swallowed down the sting of the barb without so much as a flinch thanks to a thick skin that had nothing to do with her powers. "Yeah, that's me. Such an asshole even a blind girl can see it. You got a point in all this that you're gonna get to anytime soon? 'Cause I got shit I gotta get done."
"What, are you deaf and stupid? Don't threaten anybody. Especially don't threaten Lydia. You need me to make that clearer for you, I will."
"Sweetie, I already told you I ain't threatened anyone. That includes the Princess since Scott and I broke up. So you can go back and tell her you did a good little job at being her guard puppy and maybe she'll give you a treat or something." Planting one foot on the wall, Lil pushed off and turned back to the task of unlocking her door.
"You better hope that's right," Toph said with a snort, but made no attempt to go after her. "Or else I really hope you don't ever want to go outside again. And don't call me 'sweetie'."
"Right."
Leaving the door open, the giantess stepped into her room, tossing the keys onto the bed occupying the messier side. "Good thing I ain't the woodsy type, anyway," she murmured as she strode to her desk to wake up her laptop.
As the screen flickered to life, Lil turned back to face Toph. "You gonna come in or we gonna continue this with you acting like some kinda vampire without an invite? The threshold ain't gonna burn you."
Toph very pointedly stayed exactly where she was. "Pretty sure I've got nothing else to say to you unless you feel like apologizing."
Lil's eyebrows went up at that. "Apologize? For what?"
"Uh, for being a massive jerk, maybe?"
"To who?" she asked with a chuckle. "You? You're the one who chased me down and I ain't done anything to you."
"Hello, do you seriously not understand the concept of friendship? Because that would explain a lot," Toph said with a look that would have been pitying if it wasn't also incredibly patronizing. "You make my friends mad, you make me mad. End of story."
Lil couldn't help but roll her eyes as she kicked her shoes off into the closet. "Yeah, I think you made that clear, Sweetie. And I think I made it clear I'm a bitch and I ain't apologizing."
"Hope that works out when you wonder why nobody likes you. I'm done here," Toph snorted and turned to go, muttering to herself. "Some people."
"'Some people' can still hear you," the older girl called after her, shaking her head as she sat down at her computer. "But thanks for coming and make sure Lydia gives you a good tip!"
