"Master Bei Fong, my name is Sokka, and I wish to be instructed in the way of the sword."
Had she been a seeing person, Toph would have blinked in shocked. Instead she just shouted, "What the--?! What are you doing in my bedroom?"
The man prostrating himself before her said, "I, uh, already said--"
"The walls are solid steel! It's an underground bunker with no door!"
"Oh. That." He shrugged. "Small controlled demolitions. I thought the lingering smell of blasting jelly would've given that away."
Toph was at a loss for several seconds. "Okay. First? I'm firing my house guard because WHAT THE FUCK?! Blasting jelly goes off under their feet and they don't know it?!"
"Second, I'm going to kick your ass for trespassing!"
"Wh-what?!"
Toph tapped her upper lip. "Wait. You're right. I should kick your ass first and then fire my guards. Gotta prioritize."
"B-but this was the only way I could talk with you! Your guards turned me away at the outer perimeter!"
"So you broke into my bedroom?! How'd you even do that?!" Because he probably wasn't an earthbender, judging by all the whale bone weapons he had strapped on. The vibrations of that Water Tribe crap were unmistakable.
"Oh, no digging. I just stole a delivery man's uniform, walked in through the front door, and then burned a hole through the floor of a storage room down into this place."
Toph reached out with her senses. Sure enough, the ceiling had a man-sized hole that had been knocked out. "...all right, that deserves a drink."

"And no ass kicking?" Sokka asked hopefully.
"We'll see."
