[He waits as understanding settles in, but then there's hope offered up.]
If there's a way to adapt them from pain and death, if you'd not mind, I'd appreciate your time. I'm... not particularly worried about being well-received, but I work with Mercy and I can't see her being all right with that.
[ Setting aside arguments about Mercy's apparent Southern cultural biases: ] No, not that. The other things.
[ Come on, keep up, he's being PERFECTLY CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDABLE HERE. ]
Do you understand what I do? [ Maybe he does. But it's also hard to see happening, exactly, so Kostos will tell him regardless. ] They listen to me, and I can sense what they sense— [ the wisps, obviously, and spirits in general, and once again he is being incredibly easy to follow and there's no excuse for confusion ] —so our flanks are guarded. They attack if I ask. They protect who I tell them to protect. I can't teach that. But we might be able to get more out of the spirit you already work with.
[It's a connection he's not learned, different from that of spirit healer. Very different. He would never use Mercy to attack; that's not in her nature. Justice... but that's the past.]
It would be fascinating to explore, using Mercy for more. I didn't have a full grasp of what it is you do, it seems, but I'd enjoy seeing if we could improvise a little. If we could create something.
