Glancing at the fading "flower" of ice and the lack of a troll corpse, Tiral let a nervous smile creep onto his face as he continued to have the other members of the rearguard fire away at the first troll that he had fired at. Given how the others in that group seemed to be handling themselves well enough, the mage-knight took a moment to estimate the strength of that magic spell. Initially, the spell that had been cast to reflect that blast of magic was far less elaborate that it had ended up actually being... Which made the fact that it had shredded what he had put forth in such an odd manner all the more worrisome. Under ordinary circumstances, that barrier would've remained as is, but given the fact that not a trace remained of the earlier troll, there was a very high chance that this was all a setup by someone else. Well, it wasn't as if he hadn't already figured that out, but even so...

"Ah, I want to pursue, but I'm not sure if I'd be the best choice to combat someone who can fire something that destructive..." he complained to himself before returning focus towards the first troll. By chance, he happened to glance over at the young girl who had accompanied them—the Captain's cousin, if he recalled correctly. Bringing a child to a battlefield was in bad taste of its own, but in a situation like this hesitation and fear was something that group morale couldn't afford.

"To your feet! A healer is someone who brings relief to a battlefield, and more than anyone else it is you who they look to for aid! An 'angel' has no room to cry, to weep, to fear—not when there are people who need their help!" he shouted, hastily trying to come up with something that might rouse her confidence. "If you cannot stomach the fields of war, then retreat to a safer location and return once you are more suited to facing death in the eye—unless you wish to see those who could be saved die right before your eyes!"

He had to admit, the words he spoke were... Harsher than he would have preferred, but in a situation like this, Tiral had no leeway to coddle anyone.
