Its a good thing that the girl had immediately reprimanded the man apparently named Kristoff for calling them bandits, for the main reason that upon being called as such Elim's hand clenched incredibly tightly around his spear and a glare of pure hatred formed on his face towards him. That spear he was clenching with a vice like grip in his hands would have moved towards Kristoff, had the girl he tried to shield came forward and reprimand him for calling them bandits. Elim just said nothing and turned away even as Jared introduced them all, still pissed off at Kristoff for calling them bandits, something that was definitely a way to get on Elim's despite list. 

First the blue mage transformed his spear back into a sword, the weapon glowing as he did so, before putting it back in its sheath and then walking over to Kasus. After looking up at him, as Elim was kinda short due to both his age and... well... another reason, for a few moments suddenly he would slap Kasus right across the face, hard enough to leave a mark. It wasn't one of anger, but more like one to get the next thing across that Elim had to say. "If you're gonna act weak and hold us all back, then go back to the ship before one of us who can actually fight gets killed trying to protect you. And let me tell you something...", his eyes narrowed a little bit as he said this before paused, his tone growing a bit quieter as he continued to speak "that person definitely won't be me." 

Elim had his own problems, his own worries to deal with. He wasn't going to waste time babysitting those who couldn't fight, those who would be better off staying as civilians. Those whose weaknesses would get them killed. After that rather very cold and harsh remark, Elim turned away from Kasus and walked a small bit away from the group and began to scan for a way up the mountain, deciding to leave the rest of the conversing to the others for now, Elim clearly not a people person what-so-ever.
