"I don't know Lexi. I've lived with muggles all my life, and though they read about magic, make movies of it, it is still a fantasy to them. Imagine what it would be like if one of your greatest and most terrifying fantasies came to life. You may be ecstatic to welcome it, or you may try to bury it for all you are worth. I'm not saying the Statue should remain and I'm not saying it should fall, I just...can see both sides and I can't...decide."

With a slow breath out, he ran his fingers over his eyes, just as much out of the stress of the topic as to remove the few tears that had built up and turned his vision watery. "Perhaps it shouldn't matter. Perhaps what matters is just that we do what's right. Regardless of the Statue or not. If a muggle is injured, help them. If they are dying.....help them..." He couldn't help the slight crack in his voice that had it dropping quietly, had him shifting in his seat uncomfortably as memories flooded his inner eye. "Maybe the Statue should remain, to protect us, but allow us to preform miracles....to save that extra life...if we can....."

Lexi watched Sabel closely and realized that her mention of medical advances may be upsetting him. Reaching across the table she took one of his hands in hers and smiled apologetically.

"I don't know if it should stay or go either. But, let's be honest, we could help and that might be worth it all," she said with a little shrug. She was convinced that they could fix the Muggles problems.

Miracles. It wasn't miraculous to Lexi. It was their life. It was natural that they could perform healing magic... Perhaps Sabel thought of himself as more of a Muggle than a wizard. Interesting.

Releasing his hand she patted it once before diverting her eyes back to the Runes text in front of her. Then with a small sigh she shut that book. "What do you need to study?" she asked quite distractedly. She was always focusing on herself. She needed to stop being so selfish.
