On account of the Mouthpiece remaining silent even after Alex had realized his mistake and apologized, Lord Fitzgerald grew worried that she had picked offense and so in haste, decided to speak up to defend the boy. "Mouthpiece…"
A single finger up was enough to silence him, causing his worries to worsen as he felt powerless to make a difference.
Ignoring the helpless expression on Fitzgerald's face, the Mouthpiece finally spoke. "You make a compelling argument, Lucius and though I am inclined to withdraw my decision to have you pay for what you did, I cannot, in good faith, do so."
"But…"
"I'm not finished." The woman said, cutting Alex off.
"I apologize, Mouthpiece."
