"I don't think I know enough to properly answer, to be honest, but if you want me to make my best attempt I can try. I would like to attempt to talk them out of it, allow an impartial party to provide their retribution, to give them justice and consolation instead of vengeance and satisfaction. But if justice can't be otherwise served, then I'd let them go about it. I don't think murder should go unpunished, I just think revenge creates additional victims and harm, and leaves behind an emptiness when you get your revenge and realize that it doesn't make anything better."

The man does not respond but something about him seems like he's smiling in a rather knowing way.

“
She makes a very good point.”

Now, the second question.
He points at Genesis.
Should he live?
Edit: just to make sure, the below was said before Genesis gave his explanation.
“
I didn’t see the whole fight, so I can’t be sure about what exactly happened, but I believe it had to do something about the newcomer ignoring our purpose and mission and instead helping himself to the dead Mage…. Elliot I think his name was… Elliot’s possessions. I didn’t see the whole fight, so it’s possible that, …whoever this is,” The Speaker gestures towards Genesis, “
may have acted in self-defense. Then again he may not.”
((After rereading, I think that Genesis may have acted with excessive force which would rule out self-defense. The Speaker, of course, doesn’t know this…))
The speaker then turns to the stranger, “
I wish I knew what the Magi thought of these people’s actions. Is it allowable to steal and plunder like our dead compatriot did? And what about the actions of the other?”, he asks gesturing towards Genesis. “
Unfortunately, I’m not sure we’ll ever meet a Magi, so I’m afraid these question will likely go unanswered.”
Lastly, he turns to Debby and Elizabeth. “
I’d be interested in knowing what your new friend thinks of this whole situation.”
Name: The Speaker.
Description: a small man with black hair that is speckled with gray and a small gray goatee.
Nature: All-Tounge.
Status: I wish a Magi was here…
HP: 10
Inventory: A purple robe with a large red eye embroidered on the back, a pair of white gloves with a similar eye on the palm, and what appears to be a 4 foot long sewing needle made of black iron. The needle’s sides are blunt but its tip is deadly sharp, and the “eye” has knurling around it so that it can be used as a handle.
