"I'll go easy on them for now." Followed by "If I die, so be it" really irritates me. I can accept him wanting to go easy on them because they were his companions and he is naturally kind, and I can except the if I die so be it mentality, but they are for opposing mindsets. If you are ready to die you should be willing to give it your all, or you feel helpless and are ready to give up, however it does not go with going easy on someone that has mistreated you. I think I might have messed up my train of thought but hope you are able to decode it. Going back to the story.
