Deflecting the Blame

It was deeply troubling to think about.

Typhon was equally annoyed with them and he approached me insisting they had to be punished, much to the horrified looks of Galahad, Artemis, and Morgana.

They all quivered and stared at me pleadingly, hoping I would spare them, but in this instant, I agreed with him.

It seemed my captains had too much free time that they had to stir up trouble. Perhaps Sensei was right in that I had spoiled them by giving them too much.

However, I had to admit not all of them were at fault.

Cygnus had been attacked and was probably still not fully recovered. It wasn't his fault that he was tracked back, but it made me realize he was not strong enough to scout alone. So the next time he went out, it would be best if he was accompanied by someone else to watch his back.
