Clearly, Atraxa's hands on approach wasn't working. Her hands, though cold, didn't seem to do it for this one, not this time. Maybe, his receptors weren't working quite rightly? Fleshbags always had whatever receptors in their skin malfunction at times, especially whenever they were unconscious, or worse. Perhaps he might be dead, and this was close to being pointless. Fleshbags usually had some form of engine that pumped blood in their chests, right? Were they supposed to be accessible? Her tails coiled in thought, trying to wrack her thoughts into order on how most living creature's biology worked. Her thoughts were interrupted, her tails shooting straight out in surprise, when a new face had challenged the status quo, balls of fire in her hands and at the tips of her tails.
Asides from the immediate smell of the crackling flame, she sensed something else: magic. Real magic, not the type that she had grown accustomed to, but the type rebels used against her and her people. Dangerous magic. Koth of the Hammer is a geomancer and a living leader of the mirran resistance from what she remembered, and he bent earth and flame to move mountains. The smell of fire wasn't something she was entirely fond of, and this magic user introduced herself as everything that fire was: ill-tempered, unafraid, and unwilling to step out.
She hated her.
But she had to remain composed.
She stood from Vilgax's side, and picked up her spear. "You'll-" It came out in phyrexian, a language of chittering, clicking and incessant gnashing, an intensely unpleasant thing to listen to, but it was only a word. She cleared her throat. "You'll put out those flames first, then we can both worry about a fight later." She held her spear close to herself. Not leveled at the mage offensively, but not passively either. She made it clear that she was more than ready to fight, but wasn't willing to cast the first stone.
"Ah... you've summoned me?"
Her attention drifted to the little creature. He seemed puffier up close. He would make for a nice pillow, but that would have to wait for later.
"Take this body, bring it to..." She shook her head. "...wherever you previously were. Ask for help if you can't drag him all by yourself, I just need him breathing to ensure his survival." She ushered him along with her tails, the lithe things gently pushing Vilgax's unconscious body away from the fight ready to break out. Partly to protect them both, partly because she didn't think the little ball of fluff had enough strength to do more than slowly drag Vilgax, so any sort of aid would probably go a long way.
"Even if he was the one who started the fight, he still deserves to live. You are not going to stop me from waking him up. What he does afterwards is not my responsibility."
