Nathaniel leaned back again, his eyes narrowing slightly as if weighing his next words carefully. "What if I told you this had nothing to do with punishment?"
Killian frowned, confusion flooding his thoughts. "Then what is it about? Why keep calling me for every little thing? Why make me do things that aren't even part of my job description?"
