That makes sense. Next time then.

Although I find it difficult to imagine anyone thinking they can treat you that way.

[fieldtrip]

I guess it doesn't happen anymore but even one more time is too many.

Don't you get shit sometimes because people think you're too young for what you do?

[icequeenly]

[ If she were far less lady like she might have actually snorted at that question. Yes, Toph. She does indeed "get shit". ]

Regrettably, yes. Age or gender have often been areas of concern.

[ And you know, since Toph has shared a subject that is clearly not great for her, maybe it's Mitsuru's turn. ]

I believe those were factors in my Group's decision to seek out a
fiancé for me.

Gross. You better not be putting up with that. My parents were going to find a husband for me too if I didn't leave

As if I'd ever marry someone I could crush with a flick of my pinky

[icequeenly]

I did, at first. I just wanted to do what I thought was best for the Group. It was in rather a precarious position after my father died. [ That one still hurts to talk about although she's getting better at it. Slowly. ]

It was felt that an alliance was needed by means of the marriage.

That was until I realised what an utter swine my fiancé was and that I was more than capable of leading without his and his family's influence.

I did what my parents wanted at first too
I didn't really think about it until Aang came along and asked me to do something different
I'm their only child so I thought I had to, you know?

But I don't have to do anything. And you don't, either.
I know you can lead a company by yourself.

I'm sorry about your dad, though.

[icequeenly]

This Aang is a friend of yours back home?

I'm also an only child so I recognise that burden.
Perhaps we have more in common than I initially realised.

Thank you.
For the vote of confidence and your sympathies.

[fieldtrip]

Yeah, a really good friend. He needed me to leave to teach him earthbending so we could stop the war.

If I wasn't born blind my parents might have believed in me more, who knows
But I'm also a Beifong
You're also a Kirijo
We get to say what that means, too

[icequeenly]

A war... I can see I'm going to have to ask you a whole lot more questions another time, Toph.
Not by text message this time either.

You're right.
We do.

Although right now I will dictate to you that being a Beifong means owns several new outfits - as we previously discussed. Not just for the free night.

[fieldtrip]

Yeah that's way too long a story for this thing

Okay okay if that's how you want it
I guess you're right
I can dress however I want!
