Just as Jenna was wracking her brain trying to figure out a solution, Emilia stepped forward to intercede once again.
Although she didn't want to interfere too much in matters between Dixie and her friends, she couldn't just stand there and watch, could she? Not when she was the reason they were fighting in the first place.
"How about you let them off this time, for me?"
Dixie glared at her friends darkly, as if giving them a final warning before giving Emilia a nod. "If you say so, Emily, but only this time!"
Lara bobbed her head up and down frantically in agreement. "There will be no next time, promise!"
The tension diffused remarkably fast, and Emilia's worries of Dixie's relationship with her friends becoming strained because of her also evaporated. Soon enough they started joking around once more, and their group dynamic also became clearer to Emilia.
