[Charlie is seated near the device, holding a bit of her hair in front of her eyes and smiling just slightly. Her hair has finally returned to it's normal color, as has everything else, honestly. She seems pleased by this. More than pleased. She seems excited and relieved. Not that she'd say this out loud, but fire looked weird in black and white and she was sure she looked terrible, too. Picking up the device, she turns it towards herself.]

Now that things are. . . I guess 'back to normal' isn't quite the phrase I'm looking for but, it'll have to do. Now that things are back to normal, I guess it's time I found a job. And possibly a room-mate, since both of those have come highly recommended.

For the job, my skills lean towards most things culinary. I spent a lot of time working in a few restaurants back home and by a few restaurants I don't mean I was fired. I mean I had to leave for one reason or another so if anyone knows of anything I can do with that, that'd be amazing. I'm also a fast learner and willing to try almost anything else.

[She shifts, the device wobbles slightly and she straightens it again.] As for the room-mate, I don't have any weird habits. I'm pretty good at keeping organized and out of peoples business and if you're interested, we'll talk. I almost went for getting a pet but the only 'pets' I have ever had were chickens and horses. I don't think they'd fit here.

[With all of that being said, Charlie goes to turn off the device and fumbles it slightly, a softly spoken 'mother fu--' escaping her mouth before the device switches off.]

Yeah, I figured.

Charlie, okay. I'll be there -- the Jasmine Dragon, it's called. And I'm Toph.

Pleasure to meet you, Toph. I'm on my way.

[And the voice feed shuts off. Charlie shows up at the Jasmine Dragon a few minutes later, asking the first person she meets for Toph.]

[Toph has a good sense of hearing. So she considers Charlie before turning around to introduce herself. Older, with a certain... something about her Toph finds familiar. She's spent a lot of time with firebenders, although she doesn't make the association, doesn't really realize. It wasn't a big deal, whatever was different about Charlie. Everyone in this City was strange in some way, after all, and Toph herself was no exception. Most people wouldn't expect a blind twelve-year-old to be running a tea shop, and honestly, she'd rather not be doing it, but she'd made a promise to a friend, and she intended to keep it, no matter how many people complained. Thinking of Iroh puts her in a good mood, actually, and she is smiling when she approaches Charlie. She speaks without looking up to meet her eyes.]

So you're Charlie, waitress extraordinaire?

[Charlie was hardly taken aback at the fact that Toph was younger. There might have been a seconds pause before she spoke but then she remembered this was the City. Stranger things have happened (hello, 50's and bubblegum colored hair). Besides, Toph had already carried herself with a bit of maturity that Charlie found impressive. She grinned, nodding slightly and noting the way Toph was...rather...wasn't looking at her. Interesting.]

Yes. That's me. Waitress. Chef. Also good at cleaning and keeping things organized. You must be Toph.

That's me! Toph Bei Fong, aka the Blind Bandit, aka your new boss. When do you do want to start?

[Someone who didn't condescend to her? Great. She could use a few more people like that in her life.]

[Charlie was in a situation where people were nothing but condescending, when she was roughly younger than Toph, even. So that wasn't something in her nature. At all. Unless someone deserved it and even then? No.]

Interesting nickname. I can start whenever you need me to.

[Toph grins.] It's my favorite. And there's an apron behind the counter.

[Best day since arriving here!] Good deal! And than you, Toph. I look forward to working with you.
