If I had my way, Dionysus said, I would cause your molecules to erupt in flames. We'd sweep up the ashes and be done with a lot of trouble. But Chiron seems to feel this would be against my mission at this cursed camp: to keep you little brats safe from harm.Spontaneous combustion is a form of harm, Mr. D, Chiron put in.Nonsense, Dionysus said. Boy wouldn't feel a thing. Nevertheless, I've agreed to restrain myself. I'm thinking of turning you into a dolphin instead, sending you back to your father.
Dionysus expresses his frustration about the campers at the camp, wishing he could make their molecules ignite and eliminate the chaos they cause. However, Chiron interjects, reminding him that harming the campers goes against his duties. Dionysus dismisses this concern, arguing that the boy wouldn't experience any pain from such an act.
Despite his irritation, Dionysus decides to hold back, contemplating a less severe punishment by proposing to turn the boy into a dolphin and return him to his father. This exchange highlights the contrasting perspectives of Dionysus and Chiron regarding the well-being of the campers and their roles within the camp.
