[ At least it helps that Ange isn't really worried about the money aspect of it either. She hadn't even considered that fact. The idea that someone would give her anything at all - regardless of monetary value - is the wild part, the part that has her surprised and confused even as she's still being dragged along by the other girl.
She'd usually ask Toph why she's doing this for her.
But that part is pretty clear, right? Everything that Toph has said just now makes it pretty clear, no matter how much it is for Ange to try and come to terms with. Toph.. cares. She wants to be her friend. She wants to give her hope in her own way. ]

[ It doesn't sound like an insult. There's absolutely no bite to it.
Instead it sounds.. a little embarrassed, maybe. Mostly just touched. Ange doesn't sound like she's trying, but her voice does sound a little thick, like she's close to it over this. ]
But I know better than to say no to you. [ Not that Ange wants to. It's just-- It feels easier to put it this way. To hide behind Toph's own determined stubbornness, rather than to admit that she kind of likes the idea of this. Liking things is a vulnerable thing when you're used to everything you care about disappearing. ]
