"Yes it is a possibility Mattie.  You have the chance to earn all the rewards you can still.  Though you will need to work for it."<br/><br/>Using mattie to speak to her for the first time, planning on hearing it to calm her a little for the moment.  Hearing her plead so about the punishment, tensing at his grip he simply lead her on for a moment not answering.  Leaving her to worry so what he might do before he paused and held her still.<br/><br/>"You may well be punished in front of her, though perhaps I will not this time.   Though I will have to take you to my office and leave her alone there if not.  That will make it harder on me to finish my meeting with her as well.  So if I do then I will likely take her off later for a meeting once I am done with you.  Let me think on it."<br/><br/>With that he started her toward the room again. Saying nothing else on the short walk back to her and Beth's room.
