To Replace What Was Broken

This whole punishment is almost worth the look of wonder on the young Kynaite’s face as she examines the now darkened area around them. As she speaks about why she is here and why Kite is here the red woman notices the way she is being sized up. Keahi remains calm and, when the girl challenges her, the tropical born woman actually laughs. Meeting Kite’s crystal gaze, her own ocean blues dance with joy, she says, “You have spirit Kite and stubborn streak longer than my leg. You are smart and I understand why you are upset about this. However, I want to consider two things”

She keeps her gaze level with the girl as she explains, “One; you decide that you don’t want to do this project, I force you too and then explain to your father that you were too stubborn to do it on your own which means he will be disappointed in your antics. Two; you admit this is a battle you cannot win, submit to the punishment and learn some fun things today. Remember that your father gave me the task of figuring out a punishment.” She knows that Kynaite is smart but Keahi also knows that Azure has been mean to the girl. This is only meant to correct what was broken and is by no means a judgement of her character. But will Kite understand that?
