Xelloss's eyebrows raised as his expression brightened. "Why, what a clever idea! After all, the other two groups do seem to be very focused on the physical aspect of things, don't they? And that new healing group may attract the interest of magic users but not precisely the sort of magical power I believe will help us here. With so many people professing experience in magic, it is silly to all be working separately when we could work together for mutual benefit."

He leaned forward, closer towards Seishirou. "Tonight, I'll be meeting with the leader of the Arts and Crafts group, but I may not spend all evening with him. What were your plans?" As almost an afterthought, he added casually, "It's lucky that you were a spiritual counselor before you came here, since that's just what we need right now."
