Geoff should have kept his mouth shut. He really should. It was clear what was going to happen: he would speak up, the angel would turn to him, he'd shout and storm and perform various acts of physical violence, and he'd just keep going, leaving him that much more riled up and Geoff that much more injured.
Keeping quiet until his rage burned itself out and he was left to fume was the smart thing to do.
But Geoff would be damned if he was going to let the angel push kids around.
"We have been summoned to a plane of madness by a god of madness to participate in a game of madness, and for some reason, this strikes you as perfectly acceptable. Am I really your biggest problem right now, gargoyle?"
"A better question," Geoff said from behind him, "is who your biggest problem is."
He whirled again, facing the Hattallan this time. He was still angry, furious even, and he stared daggers at the grey man.
Geoff's crossbow stared back. Hey, he's no genius, but he's not stupid either.
"Really, who's caused you the most trouble here? Is it the insane and clearly malevolent being putting all of our lives in danger? Or is it the group of scared, disoriented beings who have been kidnapped from their homes and dropped into some sort of absurd and nonsensical competition, who have barely had time to collect themselves, and who are biding their time until we're somewhere OTHER than a plane of madness to attempt to escape?"
