H did not say what he said to S16 about it, but it doesn't sound like he was angry. I probably should've been a little more forceful in my response to H when he asked me about it instead of brushing it aside, but I was tired - it was midnight - and I was taken off guard. I wish I would've sent the message that "that's what you get when you behave badly," instead of the softer stance I took. I didn't go soft, soft...but not as hard as I should've I don't feel. Oh well. Opportunity slipped by, I guess, to hit him with a hard truth there.
I will talk to S about the specifics.
I agree, Hope - my motivation to tell S16 and D18 was not to hurt H, but so that they would understand why they needed to stick up for the M. I don't regret telling them at all. If H asks me about it again, I will have a better answer prepared for that.
