[ Toph is used to both giving and taking directions, part of the easy camaraderie she'd fallen into with her friends; she slips into teamwork with Miller automatically in all the chaos.
The snakes bursting out in a wriggling mass from the now-empty wall is highly unnerving, but they're an annoyance, not the objective. She finishes snapping metal pieces into makeshift armor -- with a small opening for her mouth to allow breathing, not for her eyes, of course -- and deals with the problem as expediently as she knows how. ]
I don't have time for you!
[ Bending with a layer of seamless shining steel coating her is its own challenge, given her feet are still numb and she has to simultaneously bend all the steel itself to let her take her bending forms, but Toph is more than up to it. If anything, the adrenaline coursing through her is gratifying, a chance to stretch her legs for real after weeks of powerlessness.
She snaps her hands forward, then down. The entire building in front of her sinks swiftly and with a massive groan as its lower level is forced into the ground, toward where she can feel the other snakes slithering around in the sewers. ]
