"Ha!"

"Ha, what?"

"Ha! I have a reason and not even you, Sokka, can deny it."

"… What are you talking about?"

"Do you remember what you told me last night?"

"Y-yes?"

"You said that cuddling was a silly activity."

"I did?"

"You did. But I have reason that not even your scientific brain can deny."

"To prove that cuddling is useful?"

"Yep."

"So what is your great evidence?"

"The second law of thermodynamics."

"……. You've lost me."

"Easy. I'm endothermic and you're exothermic. Therefore, to achieve thermal equilibrium, cuddling is a necessity until said balance is reached."

"…. Toph, have you been in the cactus juice again?"

*sigh* "No. Okay, listen up Boomerang Boy. Two objects, that's you and me, have our own temperature. When the two meet, when we cuddle, a balance of heat energy is naturally achieved. That's what the second law states. I'm endothermic, meaning I absorb your energy to make me warm, and you're exothermic, meaning you release your energy to the surroundings. In this case, the surroundings would be me. Got all that?"

"Sorta."

"Good. Now snuggle up. I'm cold."
I don't know how, why, or where Toph learned these things. But I do know that when this random thought popped into my brain this morning, Tokka was the perfect couple to share in this discovery. :D
