[voice]

--Won't go back with you! Not even if I have to stay in the City a million years! [ A pause. ] No, Father, I'm not a baby anymore! I've grown up, and you have to deal with it. Listen to me!

[ There's another long pause, and then-- ] I'm not helpless! I never was!

[ There's a large jarring sound of something hitting the wall, and then silence. ]

[ ...That's not good. ]

Do you wanna come over to my place for a while?

voice;

[beifongbandit]

I'm not -- [ A shuddery breath. Who cares if she's not allowed? She can't care anymore. She won't. ] He might come with me. My dad. He's -- [ Overprotective? Not listening? A terrible parent? ] -- here.

Private

[worldofourown]

...Something the matter?

voice;

[blackshadow]

...So's my father. But... He can't come with you as long as we're here. I'll make sure of it.

[errandry]

—calm down, all right? He can't take you anywhere anyway.

[shall_yield_us]

Ah, the plights of early adolescence, is it?

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Then I'm sneaking out yesterday. I can't deal with this anymore.

voice;

[blackshadow]

I can tell. Come on. Don't make us come over here.

Private

[beifongbandit]

My dad wants to take me back home. I'm not going.

[beifongbandit]

Look, he had me kidnapped once. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it again.

[beifongbandit]

Don't laugh at me or I'll kick your butt.

[shall_yield_us]

Don't be laughable, and you shan't be laughed at.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

What, and let my father know I hang around with ruffians? [ She snorts. ] He'd be so pleased.

[beifongbandit]

That's not how this works. The question is whether or not you deserve it.

[oceantrauma]

[He can't help his concern. She always seems so tough, but.... He remembers the things Rapunzel has told him of her parents, and he's worried.]

Toph-san, is everything alright? I imagine you have everything under control, but I'm not far if you need some assistance.

voice;

[blackshadow]

[ His father bristles. ]

Hey, relax, she- [ Sighing ] We're not ruffians. My Dad's a general.

Private

[worldofourown]

I recommend sharp objects.

To throw at him

[Voice]

[closetpervert]

[He quietly listened before speaking up.]

Toph?

voice;

[beifongbandit]

I know you're not, Suspect, but my dad didn't even like the Avatar. Good that yours is a general, though. That'll get some points.

Private

[beifongbandit]

[ She laughs humorlessly. ] He's my dad. I can't hurt him. He only wants to protect me, it's just he's so stupid about it.

[beifongbandit]

Just--

[ She drops her voice a bit. ] If I leave the apartment tonight, make sure I'm doing it because I want to.

[oceantrauma]

Of course.

Perhaps I should go out now, though, to make certain.

[Voice]

[beifongbandit]

...Yeah? Is that you, Nosy?

[Voice]

[closetpervert]

Yeah, it's me. Nosy is extra [He grumbled.]

You all right?

voice;

[blackshadow]

It should. Ah, one second, he wants to talk...

[ And there's dead silence. ]
