The woman had thought nothing of burning Gray to cinders, much less Horgus. "Are you alright?" she asks the banker kindly, helping him out of the hole if he accepts her hand, and putting a comforting hand on Gray's haunch. The large tiger licks his wounds nonchalantly, putting on an act, but from her long association with the beast Nessa knows that it must have hurt. "Does anyone have healing? Gray could use some help," she says to the others, the calming hand on the beast's flank a sign that he should stay still in case anyone does. Gray appears to ignore it though, continuing to groom himself and lick down the fur that had been singed by the acid.<br/><br/>"You did well," she tells Horgus, having seen his proficiency with the rapier. "I'm just glad that we were able to put down that ooze before you got too hurt to continue." Turning her attention to the others, she repeats adamantly, "I still think we should clear the warren below before we ascend. I'd rather remove any threat, regardless of how minor it might be. Plus, this might not be the only entrance they could escape from, and I'd rather remove one front before we moved on towards the surface."<br/><br/>She looks at the others, trying to gauge their response as she tries to convince them that a threat at their back is far more of a threat. After all, they didn't even have anything on hand that would be heavy enough to entirely block the hole if a concerted effort was made to clear it, much less if the enemy had access to a decent mage who could levitate whatever they placed up and away from the hole. "We should destroy them wherever they are, lest we find ourselves trapped. I'd rather have a sure way to escape from if need be than risk being in danger and being found betwixt two threats with nowhere to run."
