I know just how 4 year old us should handle it.

1) Cut some of the hair.
2) Look around at the everyone
3) Did we cut some of the hair? Good.
4) NOW we can start crying because honestly WTF!

Edit: May as well count this as a vote for C.

B is making the most sense to me. Uncle Jorah has obviously done something to calm Dad and now Dad is fairly calm in comparison to a few moments ago and is showing a form of genuine concern for us even if we don't fully understand why.

We're obviously gonna still be upset from what happened but Dad is paying attention to us now and wants us to do something and we've probably heard him going on and on about this Asherah fish guy quite a lot given his position in the village and he's worried we've upset them so best to ask for some forgiveness and do what Dad says.

I'm with this, so B. Why is Dad crying? Is fish guy going to cry too if we don't cut the hair? No one else start crying! :saddowns:

E. It's more realistic for a four-year old.

If it wasn't too out of character, I'd want to vote to cut our own hair with the tooth just to gently caress with Dad though.

Voting B. It seems like something we could do, and it looks like Dad will help us cut her hair. Also, it seems like the best option to diffuse the situation and score some points with Dad. Also, many of the other options seem like they would have harmful consequences to us/others. We need to chill Dad the gently caress out. Stop crying, Dad.

Also, this is a lot of heavy poo poo for a four year old to handle.

Voting B, but instead of screaming 'Ashera' or something, mumble out "Sorry Mr. Fishy"

Possibly like any 4 yr old would do after everyone's been crying cause Dads angry, but now things have calmed down slightly and Dads now asking you to apologize to his friend, who is a very important giant fish.

Frankly, I don't know anyone who likes Chinese bronzes, but I have one of the finest collections in the country.
C: I think the options are pretty clearly between C/B or just freaking out and doing nothing. We're 4, freaked out, and the guy who's pretty much the big man in charge of our life has told us to do something. Gonna cut that hair like we've been told, because we don't know what the gently caress is going on, so we'd better do what the adults are saying, but we're too confused and shaken up to do any crying out or pleading of our own accord. Try to stay mute, cut the hair and hope everything works out.

Unless it's common practice here to call out to Fishgod for things, and we're familiar with doing such. Then B, I guess, as it would be common sense.

Going with option B because Dad is angry and yelling and everyone is mad.

We're 4 and very small and rather helpless overall. I think having a major figure in your life beating the hell out of another major figure in your life would be terrify.

I also personally thing that if we were to refuse to cut her hair, Father would kill Jalitha.

Option B
This is gonna end up badly no matter what we do. To be honest it's kind of annoying having so little information.
Losing your hair in our fish religion means dying/damnation. So probably we cut Jalitha's hair and that marks her as a human sacrifice or whatever.
But it's the least bad option in the list.

I think it's just as likely that Papa here is using stone-age logic and thinks that if cutting our hair will defile us in the eyes of Asherah, cutting HER hair will defile her in the eyes of HER god.

Meh, I'm going to go with B. I guess it's the scream/cry at the big fish to not beat other people up option? I figure it's making amends for whatever. Clearly dad thinks cutting our hair is wrong. While two wrongs don't make a right, cutting her hair seems fair.

"Grip tightly my son and CUT! Beg that Asherah will not hold you to account for the crimes of this witch!" your father says as he kneels over Jalitha and pulls her strange and pretty hair out straight for you to cut.

Jalitha's eyes open and she looks at you, she is still alive. She tries to smile but her face is badly bruised and her lips are bleeding. "It will be okay Sweetling" she says to you in a gentle tone.

Oh god.... Dad never said anything about cutting her hair. He just pulled her head back by the hair and said cut... NOOOOO!

Eh...yeah, but in fairness, Jalitha did pull a seriously dick move cutting our hair when she knew it was prohibited in the faith of the village. The whole thing was a bit Edgardo Mortara for my taste. Absolutely we need to keep her from being beaten again, but I don't feel any reason we should avoid crying out to our god on her behalf.

Well, that gives an interesting perspective to things. Still, let's give Jalitha the benefit of the doubt for now, since we're, you know, four.

I think if we cut her hair instead of killing her, it would show that we're also basically a heretic, and we're going to be exiled along with Jalitha.

There are no actual deserts in the local region!

Even north where it is more arid, but, it is not really a desert and there are actual forests near you, such as the one you currently live in, near the beach.
