Narin had managed to salvage both of the paintings he'd been working on, and his studio space had been cleaned up, so the last thing he and Winston needed to do was to wipe down all the jars and tubes of paint.
Winston was relieved that there was no permanent damage, but he was still feeling really bad.
"Thanks for all your help."
"I'd never have been able to clean up this mess so fast by myself."
They were almost done, when Saphira and the kids were back...
"I'm sorry to interrupt..."
"...but I felt we needed to put things right."
"I've brought the payment for the portrait."
"It's double what we'd agreed upon."
"Hopefully that's enough to cover the damages, and to replace all the paint the children wasted."
"Thank you. I appreciate it."
"And the children have something they want to say to you..."
"Well..?"
"We....are very sorry. We shouldn't have done what we did."
"...and.... we promise to never do anything like that ever again."
Narin accepted their apology, and was happy with the additional payment.
The dragons did not need to come for any more sittings, as Narin had already captured everyone's likeness, so he could finish the painting without them.
And a few weeks later, it was done, and the dragons returned to see the finished portrait.
