On one hand Henri was relieved in the arrival of additional forces, but that alone wouldn't ensure their survival, let alone triumph. There was a great risk of death, especially with Nil, who Henri had taken in his arms in shame of having frozen earlier.

[color=00aeef]"I can fight, yes"[/color] Henri confirmed to Myron, [color=00aeef]"My shield is as strong as ever, and I have plenty of stamina for my neutralization aura. However,  I can't leave Nil exposed to harm. She needs medical attention, or stabilization, or anything that can ensure her survival."[/color]

It actually made sense. Leonidas was an anti-magic Arm, and this building is highly enclosed. Henri would need to act as a front scout or limit Leonidas for melee. Otherwise the field would disarm the group as well as the enemy.
