For the record, if Athessa were trying to attack Benedict (but not kill him), she would wait until they were smoking together and just tap his junk or something. Or she'd find him while he's working for Byerly and get him in a headlock, or kick his legs out from under him or, or, or.

But Ben doesn't know that.

"Hey, hang on a sec!" Is what she hollers across the courtyard, jogging towards him.
