"Well, do you wish to fight us as well, Parasraya, or whatever your name is?" Tazendra asked. "Certainly ending the life of a man barely alive cannot be seen as a friendly gesture." Yes, she might have agreed to kill Garland for his crimes, or simply to protect her own world. But doing so with an attack rooted in the Calamity, if her companions were to be believed, seemed like an invitation to conflict.

Of course, she could be biased. Many things seemed like an invitation to Tazendra that were not. But the other Heroes were reacting as well.
