[He fists his hands in Nate's clothing, holding tight as they move. Guilt and grief war in his chest; Nate's going to forgive him, he knows it, and he doesn't think he deserves it. The honorable end for a Warden is going down to the Deep Roads.
Nate's phrasing lights a spark in the darkness of his thoughts, though. Illness. It's an illness. And he's a healer. Sure, he's done some research into curing the taint, but it's been more poking at it than actual digging. What if he can fight this?]
I'm a spirit healer.
[His voice is choked, and the sound of it likely confirms any damp spots Nate's feeling on his chest.]
I'm a spirit healer, one of the best the Wardens have likely ever had. If it can be, if a cure can be found...
[In a way, it's a relief to have a straightforward cause again. Not much of one, due to the context, but he needs even the little bit.]
I'll chase down every chance and rumor. I can't...
[Lose Nate, or deny him an honorable end. He doesn't want to think he could do either, even though now he knows better.]
