"The mirrors come back every hour, at some point he'll forget. Besides, I'll just send your mirror, I'm sure William will be more inclined to believe him over you. Your William is probably wishing you'd stay here anyway."

It's spiteful enough to get a winded laugh from the prophet, cutting off abruptly when Gabriel's foot connects to his ribs. Immense pain flares down his side, and luckily for William he rolls onto his side, automatically managing to avoid getting his hand pinned. His other hand is already on his abused ribs, and in those few seconds William decides enough is enough, striking out with his dagger in every attempt to stab the foot that had just narrowly missed him. He wasn't delusional, and it was pretty unbelievable that a son of God could even dismiss it as such!
