"What?"

Ha! Oh ha ha, CUTE! Yeah, walk toward the fire, that's a good idea. Battler hesitates, staring at Ace. He honestly expects him to just meander toward him like nothing? There's a funny thing about fire, the fact that it, well, burns. A lot.

Then again, what else are they gonna do? Ace has a point, and there is really only one way to find out. Just how much of a distance and just how much power. Battler doesn't think it is much of either because he's quite close to begin with and he can feel the heat rising from the human pyre. Well, they aren't going to accomplish anything if Battler just stands there. Taking a deep breath, he moves toward Ace, the heat beginning to prickle at his skin like being stabbed with microscopic needles.

"Ace, I don't think-" Battler begins when he's a little too close for comfort and then his words die in his throat. The heat... lessens. No, it's not Battler's imagination. About four feet away from Ace now, the heat has definitely lessened. He can still feel it, of course, but not as intense as it is when he's further back. Now, the heat isn't enough to where Battler's about to reach out and touch the flames but the heat fading a bit is enough to convince Battler that something is definitely strange here.
