Ouka was already reaching into her pocket before Omi could say anything.
"Metalbending really is impossible, you're not going to make me believe some random little girl from nowhere," at least, nowhere Ouka has heard of, "really managed to figure out something no one's been able to do for all of history?"
She produced a silver bangle her father had given her. It was a little too big for her wrist, so she'd carry it in her pocket if nobody needed to actually see her wearing it, and her confidence in Toph's ridiculousness meant she had no fear of it being ruined.
Besides, if she asked for another one, he'd give it to her.
Sokka, to whom silver was not a replaceable commodity, tried not to sigh. He couldn't get a hold of Katara when she was on a tear, and he doubted Omi had better luck with a cousin and fiancee rather than an annoying little sister.
He put a hand over the one Toph had on him, and squeezed.
"Let's nobody embarrass ourselves," he suggested lightly, hoping Toph would heed the request not to embarrass Ouka too much.
Though Ouka was presumably new to combat-focused waterbending, and though Sokka thought Toph was an excellent choice for someone to teach her a thing or two about the assumptions sheltered kids could make, it was Omi who'd get stuck with the brunt of the backlash.
