"Lil' Baem and Maworm, stay here and make sure this mess is cleaned up. The rest of you, join me in the TSR Tower meeting hall," I ordered, ignoring Lil' Baem's indignant hisses, which seemed to say, 'You're not the boss of me.'

Yes, Lil' Baem had suffered for nearly a millennium under Belphegor and Agony. But if Corey continued letting everything slide, Lil' Baem would eventually grow into a spoiled brat who would one day get herself killed.
Corey loved Lil' Baem too much to let that happen. It was time to stop being the fun friend and start being a responsible parent.
