Sir, I... I didn't mean to cause any trouble. It was an honest mistake.
narrows his eyes, crosses his arms An honest mistake? You know better than that. This isn't the first time, is it?
swallows hard, nods No, sir... I know. I messed up, and I shouldn't have.
grabs MountainEcho's arm, pulls them closer Listen to me, MountainEcho. You're better than this. You know the rules, you know the consequences.
nods, looking away Yes, sir... I do. I just... pauses, bites lip I just got careless.
tightens his grip on MountainEcho's arm Careless? That's not acceptable, MountainEcho.
looks at Elijah defiantly And what are you gonna do about it, sir?
releases MountainEcho's arm, takes a step back What am I going to do about it? You want to know? I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget.
raises an eyebrow A lesson? What kind of lesson, sir?
smirks A lesson in responsibility, MountainEcho. And trust me, you won't be forgetting it anytime soon. Get ready for some old-fashioned punishment.

surprised Ok... starts doing push ups
watches MountainEcho start their push-ups, nodding approvingly Good, good. Keep it up, soldier. Remember, form is important. Make it count.
<After completing the push-ups, Elijah tells MountainEcho they will be undergoing additional training to improve their focus and discipline.>
I nodded while wiping sweat off my brow. “Alright sir..”
grabs a nearby barbell, lifts it effortlessly Now, let's move on to some strength training. We're going to start with squats.
