 [Lorelai walks over to the wall of practice weapons in the Dojo. She begins picking through the stuff she knows one by one. She starts with the foil and does a few quick jabs before she moves on and grabs the scythe and spins it around a few times with a flourish.]

These are shockingly well balanced for practice weapons. So boy, weapons or hand to hand. Which would you prefer?

Hold on!

[He dashes out the door, goes to the garden, looks around wildly, finds a pail that was filled with water, grabs it and dumps it on his burning hand. The fire goes out, but the sword is badly charred]

That's not good.

[judgementscythe]

[clearly concerned she drops the scythe completely and approaches Hugo]

It's getting worse isn't it?

[flamesandfeathers]

Looks like it is. [he sighs looking down at his Rune, which is still radiating heat]

[judgementscythe]

[She stays back a few feet. Any closer and the air around him is too hot]

Ok, Focus, see if you can get it under control. Do you not feel the heat around you?

[flamesandfeathers]

No, I don't. [Closes his and takes a deep breath, trying to stop his Rune from acting up]

[judgementscythe]

[She takes a step forward now that the heat had begun to dissipate]

Good, stay calm, take control. You are the Rune's master.

[flamesandfeathers]

[takes another breath and the heat waves stops rolling off if him.]

I don't know what happened.

[judgementscythe]

[She steps closer and puts an arm around his shoulder in an effort to comfort him]

We'll figure it out. We have to sooner than later before something really bad happens. Is it just you so far?

[flamesandfeathers]

I think so. None of the others I know. I'm not even sure if Luc has True Win--

[Snaps his mouth shut]

[judgementscythe]

Well that would certainly explain his attitude.

[smiles a little]

Whatever this is kid, we'll figure it out. I promise you that. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about a solution to this.

[flamesandfeathers]

Caesar's working on it. And Sierra's aware of something going on.

Thanks Lorelai.

[judgementscythe]

That's good to hear. I wasn't sure you wanted anyone to know so I kept me knowing vague around Caesar when we spoke. I guess I didn't have to.

[flamesandfeathers]

Oh. Thanks, but you don't have to worry about that. Everyone from Tinto to Harmonia, and even as far as Dunan, know I have True Fire. I never kept it a secret. Others like to keep theirs, and I respect that.

[judgementscythe]

Good to know. Still I thought it best to keep it to myself until I knew for sure.

[flamesandfeathers]

Thanks.

Sorry about setting things on fire.

[judgementscythe]

It happens.

[she squeezes down a little on his shoulder]

We'll pick this up again once we figure this out. I'm still one point behind.

[flamesandfeathers]

I think we all are.

[judgementscythe]

Good to hear. Come on let's get out of here and I'll treat you to lunch at the cafe

[flamesandfeathers]

Sounds good to me!
