On their way back into the barracks, Irene and Felix only saw two goblins. When Felix turned to Irene and pressed a hand against the front of her shoulder, silently telling her to stay put, she let him make quick work of the monsters.

Irene decided to look past his explosive anger. If he needed the relief, she wasn't going to deny him that. If it made him feel better after all he had gone through that day, she felt she owed it to him.
