"Well maybe he didn't, and he just ran out before you got there," Leia pointed out. "You don't know. So not having sprinkles is no reason to yell at somebody." Though she considered that for a moment before conceding, "Well, maybe to pout a little bit. But not to yell."
"And sometimes it's important to say sorry even if you don't really feel sorry," she said. "Like this one time, my mommy and daddy were having a party for some important people and I had to go too, and this lady in a really frilly dress' false eyelashes fell off and went in her drink. She didn't notice til she went to take a drink, but then she made a really funny face and dropped the drink all over her dress case she thought it was a bug or something. I laughed, but she got mad and Mommy made me say sorry so she'd calm down."
"I wasn't really sorry for laughing, cause the face she made was really funny!", she said giggling slightly even now at the memory. "But it helped anyway, and all the grown ups got to go back to talking about boring stuff again. So it might help you to say sorry too, even if you're not really."
"Besides," she said, "if you say sorry but you're really not, then you'd be fibbing. And I bet that's something demons can do, right?"
