[As is her usual routine, Moro is roaming through the village. The strange part, however, is that it's the middle of the day at the moment, and those wolf tracks you might see every morning appear at night.

She's showing no sign of aggression, simply roaming about... but that can't be right. Feel free to approach her and interrogate a reason for stalking the villagers out of her. Just mind her temper.]

Sight is a convenience, but not a necessity. Why humans rely on it, I'll never understand - vision can be fooled or taken away easily. My sense of smell is only obscured in the thickest of burning smokes intended to serve that purpose, and my ears have never failed me.

I don't truly need to see my prey to wrap my jaws around it.

[Regardless, she pauses to reflect on Toph's story.]

So your human parents are failures, as well, in comparison to the spirits of your world. How petty.

[Toph smiles, that's exactly how she feels about sight.] Exactly! And it only works when it's light out, or if there isn't anything in the way.

They just tried to protect me too much, but they didn't understand that I don't need their protection. That I can take care of myself. I'm not really mad at them anymore, but I wish my dad and mom could understand me better.

I would not count on humans to realize their wrongs.

Even the birth parents of my human daughter called slander when I took their child under my wing instead of killing her.

[Honestly, the fact that she has a human daughter is kind of shocking, seeing how negative Moro is on humans. She doesn't think she'd have killed her, though, since Moro's 'I have no need to kill a child' line was sincere enough.] ...Did they want you to kill her? [Bad parents are one thing, parents who would want their kid dead is something else.]

I caught her human parents defiling my forest. And when I charged to slaughter them for their wrongdoing, they threw their baby at my feet so they could flee from me.

My poor San... my poor, ugly, beautiful daughter.

[Toph draws her kneees to her chest and wraps her arms around them and frowns angrily at the thought of people throwing a baby away like that.] Those people were awful. People like that don't deserve to have kids.

Is your daughter here, too?

[biteoffherhead]

No. None of my pups are here.

[She sounds content at that, but there maaaaaaaaay be a hiiiiiiint of loneliness in that tone. A very very very small bit that's pretty well hidden.]

[earthrumblegod.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good, right? It means they're safe.

Better in our forest, slaughtering the humans that trespass, than here and helpless.
