The brush of Night Sky's thumb over his lip earns her a hooded gaze and a lazy smile, Furfur's tongue darting out as if to chase the touch. With each casual touch between them, the likelihood that they're going to get around to completing the quest goes down, and Furfur? Doesn't mind in the slightest. They can always do it tomorrow, and if someone beats them to it? There will always be another quest later, if this place is anything like Torril.

"Yeah, if the Powers That Be are looking for the kind of people who are up to saving the world, Baldur's Gate is lousy with Adventurers," Furfur replies with a chuckle, leaning a little more against Night Sky as they resume walking. "The entire planet, really. There's always some new world-ending threat popping up every couple of months, so we're well equipped to handle whatever's going on here."

While he doesn't say anything about the comment about knowing someone from someplace similar to him, Furfur does find it... interesting. And a little worrisome. While it's unlikely to be someone he knows - Avernus is a big place and only the first of nine layers - an unknown Infernal with unknown motivations and ambitions can be just as troublesome as one he does know. Well, he'd bangburn that bridge when he got to it.

"My old man's always been obsessed with the sun," he remarks instead, looking up at the canopy with a wry smile. "He's a follower of the Morning Lord, Lathander, so it makes sense, but I never really got it. Even now that I've seen the sun myself, I think I prefer the moon and the stars. I think they make the vastness of the sky really come to life, and everything feels so much bigger and yet so much smaller at the same time, yanno?"
