Battler decided to walk to Sector 7, needing to calm down. He didn't want to meet up with Ace all upset and worried and on the verge of panic. Even then, he wasn't too entirely sure what exactly he was upset about ( ... )

Ace has no idea the full extent of worry that is filling Battler's mind, but when the redhead reaches sector seven the pirate is watchful and waiting for him. Rather than wave from his spot until Battler saw him, the dark-haired teenager decides to save him the trouble by gracefully hopping down from the tree he was in. That ought to get the other boy's attention ( ... )

Not waiting for an answer (because he knows Battler would want to solve this mystery as much as he did), Ace lights up, letting his skin meld into fire. He’s just one big happy human bonfire waiting for Battler’s move. The pirate is careful to keep his flames contained to strictly around him - after all, there was no use in starting a forest fire, but Ace had total control of his element and wouldn’t let such a silly thing happen. His body’s silhouette, and occasionally a flash of his watchful face, could be seen within the flickering fire. He wasn’t going all out and turning entirely into flame; it wasn’t necessary, as this would more than prove his point.

...Though he’s really hoping that he’s wrong about this and it wasn’t Battler draining his powers at the club.

"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 ( ... )
