Quote #4
Sabriel drew her sword and backed away, determined not to panic as she had done when faced by the Mordicant. Her head flicked backwards and forwards, neck pain forgotten, checking the ground behind her and marking her opponent. Her mind raced, considering options. (12.22)
By this point, Sabriel's starting to get better at controlling her panic—she's learning from her experiences, and figuring out how to think on her feet in intense, life-or-death situations.
Quote #5
But she'd learned to be wary over the last few days, and her conscious fears had become enshrined in subconscious caution. (13.56)
One downside to being in constant danger is that Sabriel's fears are starting to turn into constant caution—is this the road to paranoia? Hopefully her bravery can help her fight back any paranoid feelings.
Quote #6
She felt all her pains come back and wondered why she'd been so hasty to perform deeds of derring-do and rescue. (13.66)
Sabriel takes a significant risk when she goes into Death to rescue Touchstone. Is this courage, or is it impulsivity? When does bravery cross the line into taking unnecessary risks?
