[Ky isn't wearing his uniform -- the official police one, the only one he has -- because his boss had made it very clear that he thinks superheroes are absolutely an asset to their line of work, regardless of the rules and laws they flout, the procedures that they utterly fail to appreciate.]
It's all well and good to want to help people.
[That should be the appropriately conciliatory note to start on, right?]
But sometimes to blindly rush in without understanding the situation can provide a fair amount of harm that could have been easily avoided. For example, such actions can destroy evidence that could be used to convict, can endanger civilians by putting a glamour on the topic that shouldn't be there, and can lead to ridiculous amounts of property damage, just to get started.
[Ky looks set to go on for a while, consulting the papers in front of him, when something more interesting happens: some smoke comes billowing in from a room behind him.
Ky continues, for the moment oblivious, as the signs of fire grow.]
I'm sure the last thing people wants is for those guilty to go free, but you can't tell if the masked figure is supposed to be a friend or a foe, it endangers the appropriate party that ought to be responding, and it complicates the--
[Ky's cut off as someone drops heavily behind him after coming in from a window, tosses him over a shoulder, and jumps right back out that same window to land quite a ways farther down. The visual's blurred between the speed of descent and the wind, but what little isn't is the colour red. Ky's rescuer seems to be covered in it, though it's really just his coat and a few pieces of look like the most basic armour.
It also catches the first explosion. Flame reflects off shattered glass that come raining down to their left.
The man in red (and black, now that the device has stopped bouncing) walks a ways further so the fire's more visible and a safe distance away, twists around to set Ky down a little less than gently, and points the cop in the direction of it. He watches it lazily without sign of concern, gloved hand on Ky's head to make sure he doesn't look away.]
Better pay more attention t'yer surroundings, kid. Just 'cause yer hot doesn't mean yer fireproof.
[And with that quip and a smirk, the man's dashed forward and scaling back up the building--presumably to hunt around and make sure anyone else in harm's way gets out. The fire doesn't look like it's going out any time soon.]
[Ky stares flabbergasted after him for a moment, hand on his chest as if to check that his heart is still beating. Then he takes a breath, carefully turning away to make sure he doesn't inhale smoke.]
I'm sure some assistance would be appreciated, if anyone is free. Obviously any methods used shouldn't put even more people in danger, but beyond that this isn't the sort of situation that benefits from refusing help.
[And since Ky's a bit useless for this, useless for lots of things without his power, he'll be doing his best at coordinating things until the fire is out, and then he'll re-approach his philosophical points.]
[ooc: Red is Sol, blue is Ky. Feel free to catch either of them after the fire's out, or interact however makes sense while it's burning. (And please note which it is if your tag doesn't make it clear)]

action;
[Ky's been running around too, is hot and sweaty and tired, but he understands his limits, and his body won't let him go past them much.]
action;
I would like that, but I'm not sure where any of the best places are.

[He's not really thinking of how it could sound, mostly just worried that she doesn't collapse or anything like that.]
action;
[She felt fine for now, a little drained, but good. Maybe getting something to eat, or drink might help.]
action;
[He smiles at her as she gestures in a direction and starts to walk towards a restaurant. It's close.]
action;
[From what she gathered anyway was what she believed.]
action;
But for all that I consider it my duty, it can still be pleasant to acknowledge when others do it.
action;
action;
Ah, here we are. [He gestures at the cafe, offering a polite smile to the host who offers to seat them.]
action;
Considering where we are, this is kind of cute.
action;
[He moves around to pull out her chair for her, ingrained politeness.]
action;
[She nods her head firmly, quite thankful for the gesture as she sits down.]
I'm sure the food here is wonderful.
action;
They have a chicken with cranberry sauce sandwich that I might particularly recommend. If you like those things.
action;
I might try that actually. I mean why not try something at least once.
action;
[He beams at her, and then looks back at the menu to determine what he should have himself.]
action;
What are you going to have?
action;
[There's a decisive tone to his voice, and he closes his menu.]
Is your magic primarily fire control?
action;
From what I can gather, it's mostly fire related.
action;
Is it new?

[He's trying to understand at the moment, mind a little opened by having seen her in action, having seen her help people.]
