"I will not play with sharp objects"

Briar slipped into the hall among the others that had come to answer her husband's call and spotted him and Dusk sitting front and center, their daughter ready to lead the lesson she had been tasked with. She smiled a bit as she went up to join them, leaning over to give Dusk a quick nuzzle on her cheek in some silent encouragement. She did feel a bit guilty for putting Dusk up to this since she had been the one to suggest this kind of punishment, but this felt far more constructive and a better use of their daughter's time than closing her up in her room or making her do extra chores. This would certainly leave a more lasting impression at least and would force her to learn a lesson beyond just being more careful with dangerous things. Briar settled onto her haunches on the opposite side of Artorias then, giving her mate a little smile before she looked out a the crowd, scanning the attendees to make sure all of their children had made it as well.
