Of course... but I was referring to his particular situation. The assault had already taken place. He wasn't preventing anything by retaliation. It would be a revenge attack. Doesn't help anyone. [/QUOTE]From what Sparhawk wrote he was Knocked unconsious so the choice was removed for him. TL wasn't (I'm taking liberties here TL) advocating retaliation after Sparhawk had regained consiousness(sp?), but returning fire while still under fire. Sometimes that's the course to take sometimes it's not, there in lays the question.
