If you want to do anything useful for Sariel [ because she doesn't trust the Witch, she doesn't trust his goddess, she doesn't trust that the dead have their side of things handled, ] then drop it.
[ 'whose side are you even on?' 'i am an ally to the rational-minded, and an enemy to those who would pursue pointless conflicts.
'which one are you?'
not that she thinks he's really in a state for anyone to reason with, right now. no one short of Sariel, anyway. but she'll try anyway, futilely, for a moment, to give the blaze of his anger a chance to burn itself out, because that's what she does these days, she tries, and tries, and tries and tries so that someone else won't have to.
but if he really won't stop, she'll do it for him. you don't need strength to knock someone out— you just need to know where to hit them, and given that she's shorter than him, his jaw makes for quite the target. ]
