He didn't argue with her quiet statement; it was true. She left first. But that didn't mean she was rational about the whole thing either. He honestly didn't think any of them could say they were objective in the matter, not a single one who took part in it. Everyone had a bias, as in everything.
"Wildfire." He confirmed with a nod and a slight smile, somehow not surprised he'd been given a partial truth on their first meeting. Stranger danger was apparently not as dead as he'd imagined. "It suits you." A compliment, in his eyes. He enjoyed that she took his words without argument and genuinely seemed to consider them, despite the fact that they weren't one hundred percent in line with her own family's take. It showed him a lack of bias that was surprising, especially considering whose offspring she was.
"Anytime." He took a beat, then decided to keep the truth train rolling. "Talking about things like this, it helps sometimes. Especially with those who weren't around to have much of an opinion already." Her views were unbiased, unlike those he would normally talk to. Blue Willow and Lasher would never attempt to belittle him for an opinion, but he worried at times about offending them should he say the wrong thing. They had felt as strongly as he, and some of those emotions he knew they differed on. With Wildfire, the chance at an argument was definitely there. But the stakes weren't nearly so high.
