This may seem like the right thing for Stigend to do, Nogrod, but I'd like to suggest something. Before I do, let me make clear that I'm NOT telling you not to do what you've planned.

What I'd like to suggest is that CONFLICT is always good for a story. Makes it more interesting, raising the "stakes" higher. By rectifying this little child scuffle here and now before it becomes something more .... er ..... interesting, you may be short-circuiting story writing possibilities. Though no fun in real life, conflict in stories is GOOD.

Seeing as Celuien started this general subplot, I'm interested to hear her thoughts on the matter.
