"Much, thank you," he smiled at his friend for her healing, a warm and genuine expression after the subdued mood he had arrived in. He chuckled at the picture she painted of Remi, but nodded agreement. He still didn't understand what had happened between the alchemist and the captain, but it was none of his business, and if they were more than friends... well, more power to them for finding happiness in such troubled times.
His amusement faded to rueful bitterness at the mention of Edrei and Zariah, and he gave a slight shake of his head. "Unfortunately, I'm not in good standing with the, ah, current leadership," he admitted wryly, reaching up to tap the flipped-up eyepatch of his disguise. "Normally Edy would have been my first thought as well... but for the moment I'd prefer to keep both of the Launceleyns as last ditch options. I didn't realize Zariah had life draining magic..." He frowned for a moment, eyes narrowing at the new information, but there would be time for that later. "So yourself, Remi... perhaps Rory? He might not be Edy's match in fire yet, but he is stronger than he was, and growing more so." A night at the Stonesong, a creature of water and fire, and boons given to both of them that they had discovered as they made their way back to the farm. Magic and mystery, both, and what a strange turn his life had taken... "Though wasn't there some sort of explosion at some point? I thought I felt vibrations in that earth-shield Delah made, but we were fighting with vines at the time and I wasn't sure what had happened."
"The only other magical Healer I know is Sascha," he shared, pulling his thoughts back to the task at hand. "But he is recently arrived. Though he is enthusiastic and kind... I don't know if he's strong enough yet to face the dangers in that Spire." He had seen Sascha at work during the rebuilding of the Atheneum, and though the young carpenter brought eagerness and cheer to his work, well... he made the bard look almost buff in comparison. "I don't know if Isla and Zuriel could make it into the room with the plants, past all that rubble, but perhaps if they waited at the base of the stairs they could help heal people who needed to recover, so you wouldn't have to use both wind and healing magic and tire yourself out faster?"
