A woman screamed, and she'd find Teoni glaring at an older woman in her late fifties, sinking to her knees, hands over her head, bags on the ground about her.

"She knocked me down," he said flatly, looking at her with wide empty eyes, dead eyes. "She didn't apologize. That is bad."

"Yes, and being cruel to your elders is bad too. Two wrongs don't make a right, Teoni."

Sera snorted. "Alright then. Come on. We're going home and you're going to bed for the rest of the day. Now."

He blinked a few times, and with each blink his eyes cleared a bit until the Teoni she knew was looking back at her. the woman stopped screaming and a crowd was forming. He nodded, looking sad.

"Apologize first. And when we get home, after you've thought about what you've done, you're going to write what you've learned and why what you did was wrong."

"Me apologize?" he asked, startled and a bit outraged. "She's the one who knocked ME down!"

"That may be, but do you want to be just like her? A mean old woman who picks on little kids? Or would you like to be better than that? I'd like to think my Teoni would be better than that and apologize for his own rudeness."

"But... if I say I'm sorry... when I'm not...." he asked, eyes still on the sky, "Wouldn't that make me a liar? Isn't that worse...then being rude?' he asked as an ambulance pulled up.

"Saying you're sorry out of respect for those who have lived longer is not lying. It's just a different kind of manner."
