"Enjoying yourself?" Toph noticed Katara had gone silent next to her, and that her breathing had grown very calm. Rapidly tapping her foot, and imagining the rocky shore of the earth kingdom shrinking and disappearing as their ship moved ponderously out to sea, Toph struggled to be nearly as comfortable as Katara. Her excess flab made things better than her last sea voyage however, and the vibrations of the wood and metal of the ship provided meager but adequate vision. The bottom line was that nothing beat solid ground for Toph, and her decreased perception led to increased attention to her hunger pangs.

"Yeah...it's always good to get out to sea every once and a while. You don't need to see to enjoy it Toph, just take a deep breath and relax."
"I'll start taking 'deep breaths' when all we can smell is sizzling butter!" Toph licked her lips and gave Katara's rear a slap. There was a visible response to the stimulus at the site of impact. "Get bending!" She exclaimed.
"Would you cut that out? I'm hungry too!" Katara grudgingly glanced around and elegantly sent a few smaller elephant Koi onto the deck. "Ok, these will be yours; we need you full so you can bend us up a seafood feast!" Toph quickly (though slightly unstably) retrieved some butter and a massive pan, and with a quick fire the fish fry had begun.

Katara ate the first serving and was soon hurling massive catches onto the deck, which Toph aggressively prepared. Toph's robes quickly became a mess as she dropped whole bricks of blubber into the frying pan, coating the fish until it was a sinful, greasy slab twice its normal size. Everything below Toph's nose was pressed into the fish as she tore into each and every morsel, spitting bones over the deck. It wasn't long before she stopped trying to wipe her face and just left grease perpetually dripping off her chin. As she finished her fifth elephant Koi about two hours later, Toph came to the shocking realization that Katara hadn't eaten a bite since her first snack! "Katara? Don't you want some?"

Katara sounded as if she were crying. "No, I'm fine."
Toph realized what she had been doing; making a complete and utter pig of herself and scaring Katara away from indulging. "Your bending is going to get worse if you don't eat!" Toph reasoned. Katara was silent for a moment. "I'll...just get one more out, then that will be it for me." Toph nearly gagged at the thought of only having a single Koi for the day. "Ok, but first get five more for me! I'm still hungry!" Toph insisted.

Katara sighed. "Ok Toph...can't have you going hungry, I guess..." she muttered dejectedly.

When Katara had retrieved six bulky Koi, over the next half hour, she gloomily turned to face a meal she knew would leave her stomach howling in agony all night. To her surprise, Toph was standing guard over not one, but six fried fish. "I'm not going to eat these." Toph said resolutely. Katara couldn't believe her ears. "What?! You, not want to eat? Is the chi-block wearing off?" Her voice raised slightly with hope. Toph gave Katara a little punch on the arm. "No, I want to eat all of these then lick the grease off the deck of the ship, but you need to eat it more, Katara! You'll be cured when we get to Kyoshi, I'm sure, but you helped Aang save the world, and you shouldn't be torturing yourself like this! You should be happy! You should be enjoying yourself!"

"....Toph....." Katara bend down and gave the plump earthbender a hug...saturating the front of her robes in grease. Toph promptly shoved Katara off (with a little less force than her usual shoves) and pointed in the direction of the food's smell. She soon heard Katara quietly but rabidly tearing into the food. In a single hour, she was done.

"-Burrap-" Katara let out a satisfied belch and got to her feet. She sounded much happier, but something was unstable about her voice, as if she wasn't going to take no for an answer to her next question. "Up for seconds Toph?"
"Am I ever!!" Toph took off towards the hull to retrieve more butter.

The smell of frying fish wafted from the ship several hours past sunset.
