When at an impasse, the use of statistics, prior experiences and evidence all factor in to the process for making informed decisions.
But sometimes, even after exhausting all of those options, the choice one has to make doesn't become any easier.
At times like that, it was best to push the hard work of deciding on someone else. Ideally, fate.
"No, you can't use your powers to do that, it might affect the outcome.."
"Oh, yes, you're right… should we toss it up together then?"
"I believe that might be best."
Yesh and Asherah each grabbed half of a shiny Asgardian coin.
Together, they threw the coin up into the air.
They watched the dial of gold rotate and tumble as it descended.
It landed with a metal clink at their feet.
The couple knew the result without turning their heads.
"That's that then. No use questioning it."
Asherah nodded resolutely and she and Yesh moved over to Karliah's face-down body.
Yesh lifted her without even touching her.
