Toph will be holding onto her kid-hood while she can, thankyouverymuch. You know. When it's convenient.

Truth of the matter is, while maybe never as old as he is, she's older in spirit too. You can't go through war, have the fate of the world riding on you, and not feel the weight pinch between your shoulders.

It's a curious feeling she tries not to think about too much -- that simultaneous duality of nature. The fact that she's made a number of decisions and discoveries that should have been beyond her scope.

Nope. Better to enjoy the play of a child still, and leave that weight only for when she's required to bear it.
