When Saphira got the kids home, they were in need of a bath.
She filled two tubs full of hot soapy water....
..and proceeded to vigorously scrub all the paint off of them.... a little harder than she probably should have. But she was angry.
"I'm really disappointed and ashamed of your behaviour today."
"I don't understand what you are thinking. You were raised to be a lot better than that."
"Yes Mama."
"We know Mama. And we are sorry for making such a big mess."
"But we were tired of just standing there, and wanted to paint."
"Well, you can't just act on your impulses like that. Especially without asking. That wasn't your studio, and those weren't your paints, and you ruined both the paintings Narin was working on. How would you feel if someone grabbed something of yours without asking, and then ruined something important that you were working on?"
"I'd be very upset too."
"So after you're all cleaned up, you're all going to have to go back and sincerely apologize. And I hope we can make it up to him."
