Toph can't believe it when she senses that you are still grabbing onto the long merciful toes, unmoved from the spot in between her middle toes. She giggles and you grab onto the edge of a toe to try and wiggle out. But instead the flesh you're holding onto for dear life becomes rougher and harder to grip. You don't dare turn your neck up but you can sense that Toph's cloudy eyes are farther away. You're shrinking further while still stuck between her toes!
From your tight dark view, the rest of the foot looks like a mountain range with each of the other toes towering over each other. There are clumps debris and pebbles sprinkled around the sole. Some of the debris now looks larger enough to be a horizontal hilltop sliding down Toph's massive foot. From what you can tell the godlike Earthbender isn't able to detect you as easily when her foot is dirty. Her senses confuse you for just another pebble if you stay still in the crevice of her toes or the wrinkles of her feet. Even her toenail looks big enough to hide your full body and even make you harder to find.
"Hmm... where did you go? I don't want to crush you accidentally as much as I love to test my senses on finding something so small." Toph teases.
As if somehow knowing that you were up to no good, she playfully shakes her foot, increasing the speed at first, and continuously amused at your refusal to let go. Or withstand the G-force when she mischievously waves her foot around like a glider. The scene between her toes is a much more nauseating experience for you as you are constantly filled with the terror of being a gnat at the giant Earthbender's feet.
"Alright little plaything, I'm impressed!" Toph says with a toothy grin. "Any seasoned mercenary or spy would've given up by now. You really are just some wanderer. Not a threat."
You are resilient in staying between her toes like a piece of lint, at least until you can make a wise move and avoid detection. She finally has her foot motionless so you can try climbing down to somewhere else. You consider it but quickly realize how dumb it is to try to outmaneuver her near the ground or her all knowing soles. But if you can avoid being near any of that then you can mask your presence.
"Ha! You're getting nervous." Toph's voice rumbles from up in the sky. It is a positive that she is trying to be a little careful otherwise you would've been annihilated underfoot awhile ago. You look up and can see her shin guards up in the distance. If you can climb onto those she won't be able to know your location. Then you can take a leap off her body when she goes somewhere else.
