[somewhere in one of camp's fabled open spaces, possibly under a tree, there's a boy. sitting on the ground in front of him is a candle. the flame of said candle is running through a gamut of colors, heights, and temperatures, even though the boy doesn't seem to be doing anything at all besides looking at it

[heading towards the mess hall! but mostly staring at the candle. and you. not at all discreetly. :|b]

[bulletwthmyname]

[looking up and smiling a little]

Hey there.

[putyourheartin]

...Uh, hey. Neat trick.

[bulletwthmyname]

It's good practice. I need to learn my fundamentals.

[putyourheartin]

[leaning down a little and squinting at the flame]

So how are you doing that, exactly?

[bulletwthmyname]

It's pattern magic. The best way I can think to explain it is that I'm changing the variables for the energy that the flame can absorb and give off.

[putyourheartin]

And you can't shoot fire out of your hands or feet or anything?

[bulletwthmyname]

I might be able to if I tried really hard, but it's probably not worth the effort.

[putyourheartin]

All right. Just checking.

[bulletwthmyname]

Do you know a lot of pyrokenetics?

[putyourheartin]

You could say that. But we call them "firebenders" where I'm from, and they're not exactly the friendliest kids in the sandbox.

[bulletwthmyname]

Ah, I see. I'm pretty harmless, promise. Fire isn't really my specialty, this is just good for practicing.

[putyourheartin]

I figured. You don't look like you're from the Fire Nation, anyway.

[bulletwthmyname]

[points at his bright red, curly hair]

A bit too obvious? Although you can't tell what kind of Talent someone has where I come from by looking at them.

[putyourheartin]

You can't in my world, either, but you can usually tell who's Fire Nation.

[bulletwthmyname]

How can you tell?
