Don't forget that Abel has lost his family, town, a father figure/mentor, and his life. He doesn't speak about death lightly and understands when force is needed. He's the character who has currently experienced the most death in the novel. Just because my guy is goofy and overly optimistic doesn't mean he doesn't understand war, in my opinion, I think he understands it the most.
Honestly fair. Cute dogs and cats are my weakness too
