Sharee did not interrupt Sarel through his rant, but that did not mean she wasn't judging him. She saw him fight when they were taking the ship, and she knew he could do so intelligently, but he was really showing some signs of arrogance here, the dangerous kind too. Once he was done talking, she spoke up, still in a whisper, but with a firm enough tone that he and everyone else could easily tell she was serious. "Oh, so I suppose your plan is to swim out there into the cove, sit in the water, and throw fireballs at them while they pelt you with arrows? Because if you haven't noticed, that's the only way you could get a decent angle on them. If you truly believe everything you just said, then you're a more arrogant fool than I thought. If you're fighting a strong, skilled opponent, then you give it everything you have. You think about every approach and outcome, then use every trick and piece of knowledge at your disposal to kill your enemy. If you're fighting an unskilled, "easy" opponent...then you give it everything you have. You think about every approach and outcome, then use every trick and piece of knowledge you have to grind them into dust. Unless you have a [i]very[/i] specific reason not to. All it takes is one lucky shot from an unskilled archer to kill the most talented warrior. It only takes a single misstep to allow a novice opponent a killing blow. I don't care how good you are, no one can get it right [i]every[/i] single time. It might not happen often, but if you charge headfirst into enough fights, you'll meet that lucky arrow eventually. I don't care if we're fighting mudcrabs, we'll be fighting them smart. We're going to get in there under the surface of the water, establish positions on opposite sides of the docks, then push them from both sides. If you're right and these bandits are pushovers, then we'll just kill them extra quickly." Sharee chided before shifting her attention to Noelle. "Now, if you would, go ahead and apply that chameleon."
