"Different traditions for different people," Kaen said with a smile, then glanced at what Arlen was doing. "Hey Arlen, don't give Rose ideas. She has enough problems with fire magic," she laughed, earning a child-sized glare from Rose.
"I don't have problems with fire magics....any more," she said defensively, then stuck her tongue out at her Onee-chan.

"Really? You can do magic too Rose?" Arlen asked as he passed the flame from finger to finger as it danced. "And I really don't have much to do around here other than practice."

Rose nodded. "Yeah, Blay-nii-san and I both do magic, but he's a lot better at it than me." She set her bear down and stared at her hands until a small flame flickered into life on her fingertip.

Suddenly, it was too much for Lily. She had to move, had to do something. "I'm going for a run." she announced, slipping on the sneakers she kept by the door, the foot wear looking rather ridiculous when paired with the skirt she wore. "Be back in a bit." Then she ducked outside, instantly beginning a mad dash towards the lake.

Arlen cast a worried glance at Lily's departure, but looked back to Rose. "Well you seem better at it than I am," he said admiring her work. "I can't make normal fire yet."

She looked up, the flame disappearing. "I used to not be able to control it, but Mister Drakhir taught me how to, and Blay-nii-san helped me too. I've been learning since I was little, about three, I think." She looked at her fingertip and pouted, seeing that her flame was gone. The fur around her fingerpad wasn't singed, but very warm she found as she held them to her cheeks.

"Well to tell you the truth I can't control it that much either," Arlen said returning the flame to the candle. "It just likes me is all."

"It likes you? Like that flame demon thing?" Rose looked over at Kaen. "Remember that flame demon you read to me about? The one that moved the big house?"
"You mean Calcifer? From Howl's Moving Castle?" Kaen offered, getting a nod from Rose. "It doesn't have to be alive for it to like you. Metal doesn't live, but it likes me because I give it life."
"So....if I play with something, it'll come alive?"

((lol))
"I don't think it's that simple, but it is possible," Arlen said. "Just be careful. Fire can be pretty dangerous."

"I know," she said dejectedly, her voice showing she'd heard the lecture before. SHe yawned suddenly, surprising herself with the action.
"Be nice, even though you know to be careful," Kaen said, reaching over to catch Rose as she started tilting from being tired.

Again, Lily had done a few circuts of the lake before returning, flushed and sweating to the Muffin. Breathlessly, she waved at the others, then sank into a nearby chair, looking a little tired, but also relieved.

"Are you sure you're alright, Lily?" Arlen asked walking over to where she sat.

"What? Yeah, I'm fine." Lily smiled up at him, cheeks still pink from the excersise and the cold. "Least I think I am."

Tomo sighed contently sipping at a mug of tea as he listened to everyone. He swayed his tail slowly.

"You shouldn't go running around outside in that skirt," Arlen chastised as he placed a hand on her cheek. "You're freezing."
