[ Toph was truly worried about Minato, so the frustrated questions just spilled out unprompted, but she knows Ethlyn is right that he should rest first before she starts nagging him for a heart-to-heart. He's not getting away without one, though; Toph isn't allergic to having real conversations, she just saves it for her friends.
And Minato is a friend. ]
I got it.
[ She lets out an audible huff, a big gust of air, at the mild question regarding her abilities. Toph never misses a chance to show off, so maybe her earthbending is particularly sharp and precise as she flicks hands and fingers. A perfect stretcher-shaped rectangular slab of rock pops out of the ground around Minato and lifts smoothly into the air like it's hovering. Maintaining it steadily is a lot more challenging that she makes it seem, but that's kind of the whole point, to her.
She keeps her hands raised in a defensive posture and strides ahead confidently, Minato floating on the stone slab ahead of her. ]
Don't think you're getting out of explaining this later, buddy.
