Irhya holds her breath, and then exhales in defeat. "Yeah... I guess I can't deny that. But..."

She still wants to protest. There was so much that went wrong that she's almost determined to blame herself for something. If nothing else, it's the tendency of her mind to turn traitorously inward when bad things happen eating another piece of her away.

"I've managed in situations where we were vastly outmatched before. Creatures and constructs probably as big as the giant, if not bigger. Literal gods driven by faith and prayer. So why...?"

Maybe she just forgot what it feels like to lose. Gods know she's overdue for a humbling.
