Astral returned the hug and resisted the urge to rub her roasted rump, making a mental note to avoid giving a Top access to any of her baking utensils if they could sting that much!

"I'm sorry for hiding your didgeridoo. Brat code, you know, but I swear I'll be good forever!" Astral said, sounding so incredibly angelic you could practically see a halo glowing above her head. But she thought for a few seconds before correcting her statement. "I mean, for the foreseeable future at least... Scouts honor!" She held up the scout salute.

Also, I'm not sure what a throne spanker is. I think you mentioned it fairly recently, and I tried to find it in the picture on your blog, but wasn't quite sure which one it was. Also, all my search results just gave me Game of Thrones related spanking stuff. P: And the red embroidered paddle has a metal rod in it? 😱 It looked pretty thin and not too threatening in the picture! I guess I early dodged a bullet there!
