Artaax opened his eyes and listened quietly as Furi explained. His brows furrowed as she spoke, partly out of confusion, and partly out of the usual harsh judgment he cast on everyone around him. The concept of Furi not being the real her went totally over his head, though finding herself wasn't a whole lot clearer. It was kind of nice to feel annoyance like this again... It made him feel like himself. But he sobered abruptly when Wildfire was mentioned.

"That's stupid..." he said quietly, looking beyond her now at some distant plane. He took in a deep breath and held it briefly before letting it go with a sigh and added, "Wildfire isn't worth that." Artaax winced as her name crept from his lips. He resolved then and there to never say it again if he could help it.
