[Well, that was an exciting night. Sanji's in for an exciting morning too, whenever the drugs run through her system and she finally confronts her crew. If she knew the truth in store for her, she'd willingly trip into something and net a concussion strong enough to put her in a coma.
Unfortunately, she's completely unaware. And when she does find

Except not. Instead he's scurrying out of the forest and catching his breath, while cursing the most colorful vocabulary possible. The ends of his shirt are singed and making some nice fog in the air.
...When Xion said he could learn magic from spirits, he was not expecting that. But he is shaking a fist like a champ, despite this recent turn of events.]
Y'shitty-whatever ya are!!
[He yips at another little pop of fire and scurries away some more.]

How... oddly familiar. And the reason why is clear enough when he bursts from the foliage, shaking a fist at the air.
Oh lord, the hell did they do?]
Oi oi, Nicholas. What happened now? [She takes in the singed clothes, the slight fog, and then she hears inside the forest a voice that's not completely there]
Damn it, Eferin! You shithead, stop picking on kids!

A huff and a pause, as he catches his breath.
And then he folds his arms.]
I was gonna learn how to make fire.
[Except he and Eferin weren't exactly getting along.]

It can take months, depending. [As she talks, she rolls up one of her coat sleeves and shirt, revealing skin to the chilly air. Near the bicep, there's the faint markings of a nasty burn already healed over] You gotta be as stubborn as he is, first off. And not be afraid of a little fire.

...Th'asshole shouldn't have to burn people who just wanna learn somethin', though.

But he's not bad all the time. Only when he's in a mood. [rolling the sleeve back down now]
You'll be fine; just take it slow. If he gets pissy, leave him alone and practice on your own for a while. [she glances around the ground until she finds a stick, and then picks it up]
For instance~ [The very tip of the branch lights on fire. Sanji hands it right over] Try and put it out before it reaches the bottom.

Well, duh, Sanji-chwan. Nicholas tries to blow the fire out with his breath. Fire ain't that spectacular, amirite.]

Urge it down with what you know from Eferin.

[Damn it. 3_3
He'll just. Sort of stare at it for a minute, because like hell he knows how much of this works. The fire nearly works down to his hand before it goes out in a pathetic little 'pifff'.
Wolfwood looks down anxiously.]

[Is that normal, or is he lame? :'(]

It takes a lot of practice.
Nearly a week before I managed. Don't get discouraged.

[A week is a long time to him, man.]
You know a lot of magic, huh?

Well, I've had plenty of time to practice.

[Give him a minute-]
D'you got a... brother, or somethin' like that....?
