Toph let out a low growl. "Dont call me Tophie. I make up the nicknames." She warned

[Zaphod Riker]

"Hehe... Don't threaten me..." Nine says, it's obvious to tell that he didn't take to kindly to threats. "Do you want to hear my idea, or not? I'm OK with it if you want your parents to think your little all the time, so it's your call."

[fairyheart]

Toph raised an eyebrow, and stomped once as a rock appeared under her. "Im listening." She said as she sat

[Zaphod Riker]

"OK! First, do you have a way to get into your house un-detected? Then... Uh..." Nine stutters, and turns around, pacing. "Oh yeah! So you in your place. I'll come and ask for food, and hopefully they'll invite me inside. From there... Uh..." He murmurs, and sits down, hitting his head.

[fairyheart]

Toph gave the kid a look. "If I didn't have a way to get in and out do you think I'd be here?" She said.

[Zaphod Riker]

"Bah, stop making me feel dumb... I've been travelling for ten years, so my minds a little kooky, ok?" Nine says, crossing his arms.

[fairyheart]

Toph raised an eyebrow at the boy. "I could probably attempt to sneak food out..." She said thinking to hetself

[Zaphod Riker]

"I'm trying to help you, Toph, I don't ask anything in return." Nine says, smiling gently. "Besides, when my brother finds me, then we'll have to leave, and I at least want to help the first person who was... Kinda... Nice to me."

[fairyheart]

Toph crossed her arms. "I don't need your help. Im perfectly capable of doing things myself" She grumbled.

[Zaphod Riker]

"Alright then, I respect that." Nine says, and stands up. "Eight is probably mad at me for not meeting him yesterday..." He chuckles, and puts his hands in his pockets. "I still have one last stop before I have to go, if you wanna come, Toph." The vagabond offers.
