Despite that, Arya and Toph appeared quite content with their current situation. Over the past two years, they had
been painting together, selling copyrights, adapting works, and even working as animation directors side by side.
Their days were filled with activity as they supported each other in their careers and shared the simple joys of life.
Yet, when two artists spent time together, clashes over their artistic philosophies were inevitable. There were
numerous instances when Zuko and Lina feared that the two of them would completely fall out.
Surprisingly, after heated arguments, they would burst into laughter, filling their art studio with warmth.
Lina asked her daughter, "Did you say all the things I taught you?"
Persephone nodded earnestly.
"How did Uncle Toph react?" she asked.
"Hmm^" Persephone paused to think. "I don't think those words work on him."

Zuko chuckled and embraced her. "Well, let's take it slow. I don't think Toph is that stubborn."
"But he's been having issues with Arya for so long..."
"It's okay." Zuko raised an eyebrow and turned to his daughter. "Sephy, who will you leave kindergarten with
tomorrow?"
Persephone's face was smeared with buttercream cake. She perked up and answered, "My PE teacher!"
"That's right!"
The father and daughter exchanged a high-five. -
The next day, at the end of school.
Toph unexpectedly arrived at the kindergarten gate. He looked different today, not in his usual polo shirt and jeans

Toph stood there grimly, his gaze at the PE teacher far from welcoming.
The innocent PE teacher felt a shiver down his spine.
As they approached the kindergarten gate, Persephone noticed Toph but couldn't spot Arya anywhere. She widened
her eyes in surprise.
"Hello." Despite his inner reluctance, Toph maintained a polite demeanor. "Thank you, I'll take Sephy from here."
Toph reached out with a serious tone, quite unlike his usual playful self.
Persephone had never seen Toph act this way and felt a bit scared, so she hid behind the teacher.
