"I look forward to not having to discuss it a second time."
In a small and pointed unkindness, he touches Cade's shoulder briefly, familiarly a second time as he passes by him to leave - there is plenty of space for him to do so without passing so near at all, but Martel can be a real piece of fucking work, and that's all there is to it. The message has plainly been received, but he isn't ashamed of driving it home as hard as he can without explicitly issuing any threats.
He isn't proud of it, either; the man is barely that, and it isn't as if it was a particular challenge.
It's just something ticked off on his to do list for today. Now that that's done -
He's humming as he walks away. He has a lesson to oversee.
