[ He'll claim until he's dust that he's too busy gathering more power to reply, being scolded about this is a bit too close to the quick for his liking, and there's no point to arguing with Lina under the best of circumstances, which these are decidedly not. And, he has to admit, at least inside his own head and nowhere else, she's not wrong. ]
[ Doesn't mean he's about to admit it to anyone, though. No one could ever accuse him of being anything but hard-headed, in all sense of the word. Besides, they'll be fine. If they can't manage themselves one of them will blast through the two dozen layers of rock and sediment above them and get them both some breathing room and a convenient cave-in (not that it's anyone's first choice for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the potential for forbidden magic once they douse the wraiths). ]
Vice Flare [ he tries instead, hoping a souped-up fire spell will at least make a dent. If nothing else it'll hit a lot of them at once. ]
[ A burst of flame and sound hits the center of the mass of ghouls and most of them go down in a mass of shrieking and foul smoke. The walls around them rumble and sprinkle centuries of dust down on them, but the ceiling seems to be holding (he'll claim he was completely sure it would, and will never admit to being relieved.) ]
[ Hopefully Lina can manage for a second, he has to focus enough for another one and if he overpowers it they'll be ghosts themselves. At least if she accuses him of being reckless, he's got literal years of ammunition to bite back. ]
