[Polnareff's not in any danger of having his mouth zipped shut, but Bruno does roll his eyes with a slight smile. Only a slight smile, however. He's in no way encouraging that tomfoolery.]

Honestly, I tried not to get involved that much with those sorts of things. Some things are simply a family matter. So, for example, if it was something like cutting school or shoplifting, I might give them some advice on how to address it and the family could do with that what they will, but I would never directly involve myself.

But if it was something serious like an adult beating a child, their spouse, or their parents or grandparents, they'd know what the consequences would be if I heard about them raising their hand even once.

[So, they weren't really implied threats so much as an expected immediate end to the problem with no room for negotiation or testing the seriousness of the quite explicit threats. Polnareff will also likely notice the tone Bruno has now is the same one as when he was talking about the men that tried to kill his father. Bruno is an exceedingly patient man, but there are simply some things he won't tolerate.]
