Well, this was my overarching idea. As I said before, the kids will have to shed their childish ways eventually, something I'm working towards. When Doc told them what happened, he actually didn't embellish or command them to stay away. So, what if, in an attempt to discover for herself what actually happened, Lucida came and actually found Hound to talk to him?

Doc said what he did to his family because he believed that they deserved the truth, and seeing their reactions was what hurt him more than anything. Not just because it took a piece of them away, but because he questions whether or not he should have. His anger at what Hound did was overshadowed by his anger at seeing them hurt, which is what he was hoping to avoid. So he reacted, as is his norm when dealing with issues that involve them. And given everything that happens through this RP, he would have time to reflect on that, given that it was what Armata was planning all along.

Bottom line is, Doc isn't a vengeful person, and he would realize the hypocrisy of his actions, and apologize. But Lucida wouldn't be satisfied, and would try and discover the truth.
