Zevlor and Aradin argue, I cast Friends to prevent Aradin from punching Zevlor. After dialogue ends, Zevlor gets angry because he was Friends’s target.
This sounds bad ...
But...
Lae’zel tries to convince Kithrak to take us to the crèche. I cast friends to signal to Lae’zel to play along. It works, Kithrak leaves and Lae’zel get angry because of friends.
This sounds perfectly reasonable to me. O_o
You were trying to persuate Lae'zel, so she lie to Kithrak ... therefore she was your target. O_o
