"Because flinging spells and giving a rage demon pep talks like a child was going so very, very well." If she could roll her eyes any harder then they'd roll out of her damn head. They only had to react because their solutions failed to do anything but enrage him further.

If she was less in control of her emotions then rage might have blossomed in her chest as well when Anders speaks to her as if he had any say in her actions. Fine. They wished to reach him? Then she'll hit it square where it hurts. She wasn't going to swaddle a demon and hope for the best.

"Hey, kid." There is nothing but bite in her voice as she approaches closer to the child and the fire. Unlike Raylan, there is no praying. "And after you burn this place down then what is going to happen? Do you think the demon will just let you go after it gives you what you want? You know that isn't true, you know it's lying to you and you're scared. You'll leave here with that thing and all you'll know is screaming and pain but you'll be the one causing it. You'll do to others what they did to you and those you loved."

What the hell was she playing at here? She couldn't get through to mages more experienced than this kid at Weisshaupt... what chance did they have here? "Do you really think the ones that died here wanted you to bear all this pain and rage?"
