Elijah pointed at him. "There is a limit and he isn't a small child who can't listen to reason. He is an adult, and you gave him a black eye. If I could, I would go to every house. I never hit someone to put them straight. I would only to defend myself or another and there is no other way. It is to stop more pain, not to 'correct' someone. And you promised, if you had no intention of keeping a promise you shouldn't have made it. Besides, if it was about keeping him safe how come he isn't here? How come you are not doing anything to help your son. You don't care, do you? You do not care what this has done to him or how he really feels. This is all about just having your way and making sure he stays helping you on the boats. Making him too scared to disobey."
