"I said after we get rid of 'em!" Firo rolled his eyes and wondered to himself if this guy had any sense. Instead of considering the obvious fact that the guy was probably thinking the exact same thing about him.

Firo would keep moving with James even as he considered going back and taking his chances with the monsters. Like it or not, he was locked in an argument with this guy now; he couldn't back down from this kind of fight either. "Who the hell said it had anything to do with ego? Are you sure yours isn't the fragile one if you're takin' this time to argue?"

Never mind that Firo was also arguing. He didn't tend to consider counterargument.
