[ Toph does like animals as a general rule, but she's not some bleeding heart adopting all the local stray dogs like Kakashi. And in this case, she'd have to side with Aang -- sky-bison, like badger-moles, aren't pets. They're smart and mystical enough that people are lucky they put up with them at all. ]
Good question. I have no idea, [ Toph says frankly, pushing herself back up into a sitting position and fearlessly navigating the large, furry, squirmy animal to sit in her lap, where she scruffs him all over. ]
No way is it going to be anything cutesy, though. He's gonna be such a bruiser if I have anything to do with it.
[Right. He doesn't know Toph very well, but he isn't surprised to hear she wants to avoid cutesy names. That's what Last Order would go for, and he's sure the Sisters would pick something ridiculous and on-the-nose. He isn't sure what he would do; for his owl he had gone with the name of a famous inventor. Maybe something like that.
(Or a geophysics joke, probably.)]
Ah, yeah, a vicious animal like that should have a scary name.
Uh, yeah. Did you know my name is written with the characters for "opening lotus"? It's awful. It could be "clearing the mountain," but they had to go with that. Yeuch.
[ Another thing Toph will never forgive her parents for; she sounds honestly disgruntled. (Is she comparing herself to a vicious animal? Absolutely.) She pushes the badger-mole off of her and climbs to her feet, leaving her annoyance aside to be focused on her new companion. ]

I gotta show you how to make a proper den!
