Basically, in each case...the spider-demon, and then later with Ares...you felt you had to do something because only you -could-.""Like, you said if you hadn't banished it, the spider demon would have killed us and so on. Then with the axe, only you were strong enough to hold it."She pushes her glasses up her nose...a strange thing to see, since her glasses are still covered in the glamor of her costume."But maybe one of us could have stopped the spider without you burning yourself up. Or, if I'd known that you might have a bad reaction on touching the axe, I could have just held onto it with my magic. It was strong enough to take it away, so it was probably strong enough to keep him from grabbing it again.""I guess I'm just sort of putting out there, for consideration, the idea that one of the underlying problems is just that you don't have a lot of faith in our abilities...so you feel driven to take bad risks to compensate."</blockquote>
