The way Ahnasha escalated the situation only caused Fendros to set off his own temper. He exploded, interrupting her before the end of her last sentence.

"That doesn't make it right!" He shouted. His body turned to her with his face laced with fury. "You think this is about who had the greatest pain!? [i]No![/i]" He spread his arms and only shouted louder. "It's about crossing lines! If someone stabbed a blade in Rhazii's hand for the sake of making us talk, I would call it nothing short of callous and cruel, Ahnasha!" He gestured to the cabin. "That girl is going to have pains and nightmares for the rest of her life! We could have left her completely out of it! We didn't!" He pushed Ahnasha roughly in the shoulder. "[i]You[/i] crossed a line in there! It was [i]your[/i] decision! And having experienced worse doesn't make it [i]any[/i] better! Not enjoying? Getting results?! it doesn't make it [i]any[/i] better!"

Fendros had not shouted into Ahnasha's face like this in years. He kept his anger on, even when the twinge of potential regret set in. This was an issue simmering from a long string of Ahnasha's behaviour over the past few years, and only now had it forced Fendros' hand.
