[Oh, for Heaven's sake--

After a few moments, the video clicks on on Sebastian's end, too.

It shows his entire upper body: no visible injuries, no bruises, not a hair out of place, not a speck of mud on his uniform. Customer Service Smile present as usual.]

Will this do for physical proof, sir? If you wish to scold me for not playing nice with the other children, please go ahead. We have not all day, after all.

[There's a spark of irritation -- at his attitude, at his assumption. But Edward is more than practiced at setting that aside and staying focused.]

I wasn't fishing for a reason to scold or punish you. I'm a little surprised I need to explain this, but a situation can ruffle more than physical feathers. And floods can be really damn good at that.

Yeah, I'm relieved to see you aren't injured. But that wasn't the only thing I was asking about.

Yes, well. In the end, there is not all that much to be done about ruffled non-physical feathers, is there?

I am neither physically nor metaphorically falling apart, as you can see. [Even if he is deeply, terribly upset.] If you wish for more information about the altercation, that can be arranged.
