"Do you three understand why what you did was wrong?"
"Yes dad."
"We were just being funny-"
"Ocellus! Do not make me warn you again."
"...Yes, I understand."
"Yes dad..."
"Good. Now, you're all grounded for a week, and when you're ungrounded, I expect each of you to give Griff a sincere apology."
"Can't you make us write lines instead?"
"No. Apologize to him, and mean it or else you'll be grounded an extra month."
"What?!"
"But dad-!"
"No buts! You three need to learn there are consequences to your actions! You hurt Griff and you can't get away with that!"
"Okay dad... does this mean...?"
"Yes. Apex will stay with me. Also, none of you are allowed to visit or be visited by Ember, Tempest, or Smolder."
"Oh come on!"
"It wouldn't be a punishment if I let you see them, Ocellus. You did something wrong and now you're reaping the consequences. Now, to your rooms, no complaining. March."
"But-"
"Now, Ocellus."
"Fine..."
*The three go to their rooms*
*Sighs and walks away to find Griff* "What am I going to do with those kids?"
Wow. Coincidence.

Yep
What do you think?

I dunno, really. I mean, only a week?

He did say he'd extend it to a month if they didn't apologize. And he's keeping them away from everyone else, including their girlfriends.
"Solitary confinement is never a well-wished punishment for a changeling, even a reformed one. They do need love in order to keep up their strength. A week is all I'm giving them because I'm not convinced they'd recover well if I lengthened it."

*Hugging* "It'll be okay my darling."

So what if they don’t recover that well? They did this to him...

"I know what they did, but Pharynx has enough PTSD and Depression as is, and frankly I doubt Thorax and Ocellus would survive longer than a couple weeks without...well, going insane..."

*Begins casting a healing spell*

*Soothing him*
