Song listened to: 'Look What You Made Me Do' by Taylor Swift.
Honestly, they had not expected the fledgling to accomplish the impossible task of stealing the Power Captains sword right out from under his nose, thus when she returned with it sometime later, they stood in surprise at it. She glared at the three of them as she held it out, Donavon took it in wonder, fingers curling around the jeweled hilt as softly as they could.
"How…How did you get it?"
She stepped aside, smiling kindly to them, and they felt dread settle in the bottom of their bellies when he stepped through the darkened doorway behind her, he set a hand on her head and came to stop at her side.
"I heard you had wanted to see it and gave it to her.", he held his hand out "Now I do believe you have something of mine, Donavon?"
The youngling stammered, clearly thrown off his game now that he was caught, clearly not having expected the Power to find out of the game that he had been playing for the last few weeks. He held the treasured sword out to him, and the Power's large hand curled around the end of the sheath and lifted it from his grasp.
"You—You know my name?"
Nisroc nodded, "Of course I know your name. I know the names of all the young trainees. As it is me who you all report to, and in turn, should it necessitate such, I report to the Commander. Just as I know you two; Thanos," he nodded to the redheaded boy, "And Sashael, though you prefer to go by Sasha, don't you?" the dark-haired boy nodded shakily.
He surveyed the three of them "Which one of you has been into blackmailing as of late?" though they appeared to be in cahoots with one another, it seemed the idea of punishment for it only went so far, as both Thanos and Sasha pointed to the third, and Donavon went pale, and still he knelt, "We have no place among us for those that dishonorable." He tilted his head to meet his gaze once more "And such behavior is an afront against myself as it was I who picked you for advancement." He reached out to grasp the young boy's chin securely, but gently, he was not a rough angel when it came to correcting wrongdoings, depending on the afront made, "And if I ever hear of such behavior again, I will deal with it personally. Do I make myself clear?"
The Captain nodded, releasing his chin, nodding in approval when the boy looked down thoroughly chastised, and pat his cheek softly as he stood back up. He sent a pointed look to all three of them, one he hoped they heeded to closely "I will be watching now, seeing as this is the return, I get for my kind gesture, I will not fail you nor will I give up on you. You will learn this lesson fast, and if you don't, I will teach it to you with a firmer hand. We do not steal from one another, from anyone, and if I am to find out it happens again you will all feel the sting of my belt on your bare rears." He gave them each a pointed look and they went red in the face, nodding quickly, even as they took a step backwards as though he would decide to keep to his word now too, "I will forgive this only once, do you understand me?" they nodded quickly again, seeming to deflate upon knowing that they would be spared the sting of the belt this time, at least two of them swearing not to do it again, his stern expression only lasted a moment longer, "If you need to know, you would not be the first ones to meet such an end, and I doubt you would be the last; come morning you can ask Erathaol about it."
They watched as the mighty Captains expression went from stern to kind, smiling at each of them in turn, and leaned forward to pat the other two on the cheek in fond fashion as well, "Now to bed with you all. It is late and you are still young angels. Therefore, it is time for bed."
Nisroc watched them nod silently, scurrying to climb into their bunks, and held his hand out for the fledgling to take as they too turned to make their leave "Are you staying with me tonight?" she didn't respond, except for rubbing at her eyes with a little fist, and tugging on his hand for him to pick her up to which he did in quick succession. He smiled when she laid her head on his shoulder, "I'll take that as a 'yes' then."
