[ wolfwood is expecting some sort of divine-scale punishment, because he definitely ran his mouth a bit too much. but instead, toph winds up for an amicable punch to the arm. oof. he has no clue where a pipsqueak like her gets that much... torque. ]

Seriously? [ not the bozos, that's no surprise. (vash.....) but wolfwood was getting the distinct impression that they'd gotten off on the wrong foot, and may never find the right footing.

generally, wolfwood is fine with that. better if he rubs people the wrong way, and gets them to steer clear of him. but maybe he's old enough now that he shouldn't pick fights with fourteen-year-olds. especially if he's the one of them who can't back it up right now. (don't expect him to actually learn a lasting lesson from this.) ]

Y'think? Wasn't all that bad. I'd stay up there, if somebody remembered t'feed me.

...So it ain't cages every time, then?
