Toph noticed that Renee might not be feeling well, so he asked her with concern. He even went out and brought back a lot of food and drinks for her.

Renee gazed at the array of dishes—main courses, sides, and desserts—all in her favorite flavors.

"Send me back home?" Renee's heart lurched. "Will you return after sending me home?"

"Hmm... I probably will," Toph replied candidly. "After all, the banquet hasn't ended yet, and my parents haven't left. If I leave first, it won't seem polite."

Renee bit her lip, remembering how Toph would never leave her side whenever she was unwell.
