At first, he had been willing to let all four of them go with only a stern warning, but now his patience had worn dangerously thin. He was not just annoyed anymore—he was furious.

They had given him ridiculous, almost insulting reasons for why they had started the fight, and then had the audacity to refuse to explain anything further. It was as though they were daring him to do something about it.
