Second Flame | Video
[Rin has been in Vatheon all of a week. His first day he got in to a fight with Masaru and was chastised by Zelda for nearly brawling near the coral, but since then it's been quiet for him.
And he's already bored.
He's staring at the SFC, chin in his hand, tapping fingers on the table off screen. Eventually he lets out a sigh and straightens, running hands through his hair with an additional huff.]
So. I can't train here, not like I can back home since Shura is gone again. And I'm pretty sure I can't go to school here either.
[Oh please let that be true. Please please please.]
So... what the hell else is there to do? Like... can I get a job even though I don't need money?
[he slumps back in his chair, hanging over the back rest with his arms down at his sides and his head tilted back. He spins around in it so he's facing the SFC again, though now looking at it upside down.]
Just... gimmie somethin' to do! Please! I'm gonna go insane if I take one more pointless walk to the plaza again...
[Help a demon out, Vatheon.
Or torment him.
There's that option, too.]

Eventually he starts pulling in and letting out slow, even breaths, and with those breaths he can feel the heat of the flames rising in kind.]
[Action]
[Action]
And it seems to be exactly what he needs. One more breath out and there's a very small burst of power with the flames flaring up, much more controlled than last time.]
[Action]
[Action]
He forces out a little more power, taking it slow to keep it from overloaded again.]
[Action]
[Action]
Nn...
[He knows if he keeps trying it's just going to backlash on him again, but he's too stubborn to quit while he's ahead.]
[Action]
Part of learning control is learning how to allow the power you've gathered to dissipate harmlessly. Let it go slowly. The residual heat from what you have done already may have been enough to create glass.
[At that, she begins to play the same song she was playing before, but this time - it's backwards, a gentle unwinding of the same concept.]
[Action]
[He's built up a lot of power doing just that, and he knows he could just... grab his sword and seal it all back away. But... Zelda's right. He can't just go the rest of his life relying on only his sword for control.
More breaths, slow, even, trying to bring the power back down bit by bit.]
[Action]
[Action]
Shit. That's not good.]
[Action]
[Truthfully, she has no idea if the suggestion will actually do anything or not - sometimes, though, all people need is a strong voice directing them. It's worth a try.]
[Action]
AHH! FUCK!
[There's a bright blue flash behind the barrier, and a whoooole lot of flames. When they die down, Rin's clothes are a bit singed and smoking, but he's otherwise unscathed.
Just... very sulky.]
[Action]
Rin.
[She indicates down towards it, smiling.]
[Action]
Ehh? ... is that--... [he blinks at it] No way! I did that?!
[Zelda? The icon.
That is all.]
[Action]
That's right. I think that your powers are of the sort that can be controlled with training.
[It's a gentle reminder. Maybe a bit too gentle, but oh well.]
[Action]
Good training! All Shura ever did was put candles in front of me and bitch at me! Hah!
[He's practically bouncing.]
I'll be in the defense force in no time with this!
[Action]
[She stands, momentarily distracted by his tail.]
There is only so much I can do to help, too. I'm not familiar with your race, I'm afraid.
[Action]
Oh. Wait. She would be the drunk chick.
Not that he doesn't consider her at least somewhat a friend, and after the crap with Satan, a valuable ally, but a good teacher... Shura is not.
His expression goes decidedly grumpy at that, but he doesn't argue, and it's forgotten a once the comment about his race comes up.]
Oh. Uh. ... demon. Half, actually...
[aaawkward cough]
[Action]
[Other than that, she has no reaction to this pronouncement.]
[Action]
Earth. ... well, technically "Assiah". See... there's two sides to our world - Assiah and Gehenna. Assiah is the normal world, the one I was raised in, but Gehenna is the demon world.
It's kinda like two sides of a mirror, yehknow?
[It's a weird way to explain it, but that's how Shirou told it to him.]
[Action]
[So he's a mixture of the two, is he?]
Assiah. Gehenna. I will look up the terms.
[Action]
[he perks up again, tail moving behind him more. He's glad she gets it, and it's interesting to know his world isn't the only one that's like that.]
I'unno a lot about it... I tried to learn but uh... [scratches at his cheek, glancing away]
Me an' books, not the best of friends.
