[ Major fights between benders, especially earthbenders, can really result in some hefty property damage. Toph hasn't had an occasion to go all out in quite a while now, and she's annoyed to find she's fallen out of the habit. In that context, this is a fun opportunity... ]
You're right, [ she agrees, ] I'm used to fighting with my friends. I don't mind taking backup.
[ She's not stupidly prideful, okay. Toph knows she contributes to whatever team she's on; she doesn't need to do things alone. And she doesn't hesitate to list out what her real weaknesses are to Miller, who she trusts completely. ]
I'm an unusual earthbender. [ She's just clarifying that to say she's answering the spirit and not the letter of his question. ] The best way to take me on is something from the air, flying or projectiles. Air and earth are opposite elements. Or one time I burned my feet -- that really sucked.
