[ The fact that Ethlyn keeps trying no matter how annoying Toph is about it actually gets her some respect from the girl. She doesn't like it, and she doesn't make it easier on her, but the persistence itself is worth acknowledging. ]
I won't say no to free food, [ she never does, which is probably half the reason she puts up with Ethlyn at all, ] but you can stop insulting the way I want to live my life any time now.
[ She's not about to admit what she's doing that readily, so she dodges the real question Ethlyn asks. Sure, it's odd to be standing around 'staring' at nothing, especially as a blind person who can't possibly be watching anything. Though she is watching, in essence -- she's listening, trying to use her feet alone to sense things through the earth like her memories say she should be able to. The perpetually lovely weather in Aldrip at least means she doesn't miss her shoes at all. ]
