Chase grimaced. "The recent fight aggravated my injury, but it's nothing that won't heal. My injury can wait; let's explore first."
Cloris protested, "No way! I'm not skilled in combat. What if we encounter a high elemental beast, or worse, a group of mid-elemental beasts? We can't explore with your injuries."
