Subject: ...the nothingness that cloaks each world in shadow.
In reply to: Noni 's message, "Or meet with nothing but endless dusk and ambiguity..." on 10:10:59 07/31/03 Thu

Atumi watches in observant silence, the flames reflecting liquidly in his own teal gaze. "Good," he says simply, eyes flicking down briefly. The shriveled leaves are about used up, and the fire goes out naturally, unable to reach the protected tree bark for fuel. Clear eyes half-lid, then drop in a deliberately slow blink, a deep breath inhaled in near-silence before the eyes open again. "You understand how I got the leaves," he states, no questioning in his tone. "Fetch some more and get them down here... without moving. I'll dry them out, and this time you make the fire... with the energy you have now." A challenge more than a lesson, this; the possibility of any Korat being as naturally skilled as Noni has proven herself to be is very low, and with the unusual exercise she's already given her talent, surely she won't manage it. And keeping a hold of that mass of fire-energy she has now, while mentally bringing down leaves... well, it isn't an easy task to begin with.

But there's always that chance...
