  We reinterpret a result of Pop and Stix on the $p$-adic section conjecture in
terms of Berkovich spaces and fixed points. In doing this, we see a version of
the result extends to larger classes of fields, which in turn allows us to
prove a valuative section conjecture type result for a larger class of
varieties. This adds to the programme to reinterpret anabelian geometry results
in terms of \'etale homotopy types.
