[And there's the bite. Maes definitely approves, and is taking special pleasure in watching that little shithead shrink into his boots (or try to) and look sufficiently cowed.
It's more than enough to get the rest of his group to forget about trying to be brats. On the end of the other people in the troupe, the smart ones (because Maes is now sure that they're the smart ones) have kept their expressions carefully schooled - it's probably because they take no interest in being part of any of this, since they're around to learn. Some of the others are looking relieved, and shooting the brats looks of open disapproval. They learn fast.
A hand is going up from the smart ones. From the look on her face, she has considered her options and believes her question will be worth Brigade's while. If it isn't, she also looks like she'd be willing to take shit from him if she's wrong.]
