Xavier was stunned that the healer would suggest cutting their losses "Aren't you a priest, meant to protect the innocent, I may be a mercenary only here for gold but..." He points the pale blue blade towards the carnage and death around them. "You and I are two of the strongest people here, we can stem the tide, I can't use my magic either but we can easily help these other fighters. Besides maybe the only way to end this curse is dying, and I'd rather it be in battle like this then hunted for sport with so many knowing what we are, best to garner some favor now with the nobles and such that way they don't outright kill us for being what we are." He says looking back at Alteral "Besides wouldn't your gods look at you with displeasure leaving the weak and innocent behind Sir priest?" He asks more as a playful jest than anything else towards the priest.
