[Toph's heard the news, but it was already something she'd guessed at herself in the morning. Suki's room felt different. Lighter. Empty. And she'd known Sokka was in there, alone. For a long time. She considered going to check on him then, but ended up heading into the forest for awhile to practice her bending and meditate. It wasn't wholly successful. She keeps getting distracted by worrying about her bro.
So she heads back. Suki's gone. She'd been a great friend to Toph, too. She'd taught her a lot about fighting without her bending, and she'd always been a solid presence in the Avatar house. It'll be...weird to not have her there. She'd always been there.
She finds Sokka behind the house, momentarily shocked because the smell of smoke and fire.]
