I will thank you to be silent and let the boy speak.
[he snaps that out, still looming in this room, arms folded.]
If we are to speak of influences, I might point out that if you were truly secure in your child's innocence, 'twould not harm anyone at all to simply let him answer as he wishes and let it all come to light.
Now, Kaiza, if you would describe what you heard, surely that will not be a problem...?
[he's giving them the 'i dare you to make it a problem' side eye.]
[ The Randos shut up because these two are scary. Meanwhile, Kaiza thinks his dads are great, even if Hansa is probably going to be banned from school premises afterwards. ]
Okay... so there's this girl in our class. She's kind of weird, and I thought she was really cold last year, but, like... I know she doesn't really mean anything by it now, and she's trying her best. We've been practicing with getting her how to smile, uh, normally and stuff...
[ Anyway. Kaiza points at the other boy. Which is rude, but I get the sneaking feeling no one cares besides the Randos. ]
But he kept making fun of her, saying she was creepy, and kept getting on her case about how she talks to people! I know she's not good at it, and yeah, sometimes she can be kind of insulting, but she got it the first time! He didn't have to keep rubbing it in!
He wouldn't be quiet when I told him to, so...
[The boy makes a pfffftbbt sound. Kaiza looks a little like he wants to punch him again. ]
[please don't go feral on them for five minutes here. but he doesn't say anything else, busy listening to kaiza, and when he looks like he wants to punch the kid again emet-selch just. lightly rests a hand upon his shoulder.]
Well, I do think it sounds as if you delivered your message, although it seems it has not quite made its mark. This is the sort of behavior you encourage, is it?
Hey, I'm just saying. Don't take me too seriously.
[He throws up a hand like "that's how it is" but there's something in his eye that suggests he is still, uh, serious.]
[Hansa, being banned from the school: worth it]
Well, Kaiza was looking out for someone who couldn't defend themselves. Seems like he was in the right here. If your son was taking such pleasure in bullying another, then he should learn that people around him won't stand for that. [He smiles at Emet's comment, giving Kaiza's shoulder a reassuring squeeze.] Its a good lesson for him...and for you two parents, too.
[ With Hansa and Emet-Selch's reassurance, Kaiza stays where he is, silently fuming.
Meanwhile, the Randos are so offended at Emet-Selch's implications. How dare you!! The principal looks like he's sort of trying to pacify him, but he does mention that still, it's not a good thing to jump to violence so quickly... ]
[ No one looks quite appeased by this, but also, Emet-Selch and Hansa are scary so they're not too sure if they want to keep speaking up.
But also, please teach Kaiza subterfuge, Emet-Selch.
In any case, the principal reluctantly dismisses everyone, and Kaiza walks out very pleased with himself despite the bruises. For better or for worse, he'll remember how cool (?) Hansa and Emet-Selch were. Doing what's right is important, even if you have to punch someone in the face for it!

Anyways, Kaiza. [And he's back to friendly smiles, resting a hand on the kid's shoulder.] Go ahead. Say what you need.

[a raised brow at the randos.]
I do wonder where he could possibly have learned.

[he's definitely making a note to teach kaiza how to solve problems with subterfuge, though.]
no subject
[Hansa wouldn't even have given a warning himself, but eh. We all can't be jocks.]
Anyways, Kaiza did what he could to prevent an injustice. He can't be blamed for doing what was right, after all his options went out the window.
