Ed wondered how many more swats would be appropriate. The two had caused quite an uproar in the city and done some serious damage to both property and people. Kevol was really howling now, but the wails failed to gain sympathy from the angel. His only consideration on whether he should stop or not was whether or not Kevol would have learned his lesson and would be too fearful of future punishment to act so destructively in this city again. As he was thinking this, his hand never stopped its slaps, each one adding to the burn that his palm was stoking through the punishment. "You know that if I see you again in these parts, I will give you a punishment ten times worse than this." Ed warned, giving him a harder swat, out of emphasis that this was not as severe as it could have been.
Kavel wailed and continued to bawl, with more and more tears coming from his eyes as he tried in vain to kick and struggle his way off of Lenora's lap. "It won't happen again!" He got out, between slaps, "Just stop! We'll leave!" He could barely believe the sting that just a hand could bring to his backside, even if it was endowed with some sort of flaming magical power.
