Malin chuckled to himself, realizing that as someone who had lived two lifetimes, he shouldn't stoop to the level of these half-grown kids; he was, after all, a man on the cusp of fifty now.
So he called forth Fio, Lorrin, and Melo and let these three give those boys a sound spanking with a paddle.
The mentor in charge at the Church of Night came over, seemingly unsure whether to clash with Malin or to try to hold back his laughter. Malin extended his hand, "When children have conflicts, I asked that boy over there what happened, and he told me not to meddle in others' business."
The mentor in charge slapped his forehead and then reached out to Malin, "My apologies, Lord Malin, the children failed to recognize you."
"It's nothing. A spanking with a World Tree Sapling generally won't leave any injury," Malin said, shaking hands with him.
