This had to be done. XD

Mercury happened to have been walking by the room when she noticed the strange, arrhythmic flickering of the light from behind the doors. Concerned, she hurried inside to find a fire indeed - perfectly under the control of Mars. She gave a smile of relief.

Although she was reluctant to interrupt the other girl, she decided it was best after another moment. "Mars, is everything alright?"

Heee

[hino_hime]

The familiar energy alerted Mars to Mercury's presence before she even spoke. At her words, she allowed a tilt of her head, her eyes to open, but she didn't look away from the fire. "I'm not sure yet," came the reply.

[mizuno_hime]

That wasn't particularly reassuring. Mercury gave the back of Mars' head a quizzical look. Automatically, her eyes glanced towards the fire but she, of course, saw nothing within it.

"Did you see something?"

[hino_hime]

"That's just it," Mars replied, "I don't see anything. I haven't had a single dream or vision since my arrival to this Academy. It's... troubling." After centuries of weekly visions, one could hardly blame her for her concern. Even if the result was foretelling something trivial, she still had them. To suddenly be without...

Cordelia was thankful she did not have a roommate yet, as it certainly helped in getting out of the dorms at night. She held two small sticks with her, wanting to practice some of the moves that her friend Angel had taught her before she left for Starfleet.

She passed by one of the seemingly empty training rooms when something caught her attention. Was that... fire?

Cordelia went inside to investigate. "Oh," she muttered, seeing a dark-haired woman in front of the fire. "Uh... hi?"

[hino_hime]

Interrupted, but not irritated by it (these rooms weren't exactly made for what she was using them for, after all), Mars turned to see the young woman who had entered. "Good evening," she greeted, moving to stand, the fire left alone, for the moment, "Do you need this room?"

[glowingseer]

"Oh! No, not really," Cordelia answered, though she stepped further inside the room. "It was just... there was a fire and I thought... well. 'Arson' was the first thing that came to mind, followed shortly by 'screaming for help at the top of my lungs'. But, um... if you're busy and everything, I can just leave."

[hino_hime]

Mars shook her head. "It's fine," she replied, turning back to the fire and raising a hand over it, "I was near finished." Closing the hand into a fist, the fire immediately extinguished, not even leaving marks on the ground from where it had been sitting, nor leaving a smell. It was like the fire was never there.
