Toph understands Sokka loud and clear. There's just one problem: he's being way too subtle for Little Miss Can't-Be-Wrong over there. She just said it herself: there's no way they'd make her believe it was true. If they backed down, she was going to crow. Loudly. And she'd take it as Sokka trying to backpedal from a called bluff instead of trying to save her from her own closed mind.
Toph is not down for being accused of lying about her talents and just letting it slide. No. Way.
Still, Ouka's entitled to a chance at the out, so Toph responds with a shrug, as though it doesn't matter to her one way or the other. "Hey, fine by me. I'm not out to embarrass anyone who isn't asking for it."
"Ouka," Omi coaxes, taking her bangle-bearing hand and trying to nudge it back to her pocket, "Just let it be-- let's show them all we've accomplished while they were off saving the world!"
