Reasonable, Daniel thought. Too reasonable after what Eva had been like seconds ago. Too reasonable in the face of what just happened and too reasonable to tell a snake convinced it was a god. Sobek read it another way, the first choice his kind would: it was her way of telling him that she couldn't be swayed by the torture or the torture of the others, that she didn't care about herself. She didn't care.
Sobek seethed. The human didn't know. Nothing useful, only the scope of her vision of these events. Of course her view of the world was limited, she was only human caught within a pathetic, human attempt at an assassination. As physically clumsy and limited in the senses as they all were, he couldn't expect too much of her. Ammit had been lost in the struggle. Useless. Dead weight. Only good as another limb to lop off if the others resisted. Maybe fed to the jungle's beasts when he was ready to move on. Without Ammit, he had no use for this woman. In the end, she played her part. He owed her nothing more.
He got to his feet, and just like that dismissed her. The God had given her the chance for glory and she denied herself that. The guards step up and pull Eva to her feet.
"You will face the rot of time, Tau'ri. You will beg for the divinity you denied yourself and it will not be granted to you again."
