[Firo falls onto the plane, bleeding from a dozen cuts and... not healing? No, scratch that, he's healing very, very slowly. His leg is the color of granite, and so is the hand clutching it, which seems to be locked in place. His hat tumbles off as he hits the ground on his side and lays there, coughing and gasping.]

...A what? [Sounds like an insult.]

You can change one substance into anoth--[Growl of pain. The stone-ness spreads up his thigh and arm.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Here, let me try. [Putting her hands on his arm and leg now.]

[Tenses nervously, but hey, what's a little risk.]

[Squeezes a little and presses downward with the heels of her hands. After a moment the stone is less like stone and more like hard-packed dirt. It'll at least be a bit more pliable, though some dust might be coming off it now.]

Better than nothing, I guess...

[Moves his fingers, severely weirded out by the shedding]

[A bit worried by this whole situation.] I dunno if this is gonna go back to normal...

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine. I... get over things. I'm Firo.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

You sure?

Oh, right. I'm Toph.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I heal from pretty much anything.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Relaxes a little.] Well...that must come in pretty handy.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Seems too.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[A beat, then,] Does it hurt, though?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

...Sorry.
