Him and his big mouth. Why did he have to ramble so much? He could have just said 'Yep, I sure did work in a refinery and it was great. The end.' Ugh. Why did he let it slip?! He doesn't want to be the one to upset Toph. Sure, if she and her father actually had a chance to talk, Satoru was positive they could work things out but... well... He was pretty sure Boss Man Lao wasn't anywhere in this city. Maybe if he wasn't here to pretend Toph's not his daughter then she wouldn't be so upset.

"Your... father," he said simply. There wasn't any fancy way to put it, after all.

There's not a single quiver of untruthfulness going through the ground.

"Lao Beifong. He opened the refinery together with my uncle Loban."
