I know what you mean. It's hard to leave them when they're in trouble.
[ it's how he had felt with those near quendi, disliking simply locating the culprit behind the murders and being expected to leave them be. he'd wanted to linger, to help them build, and somewhere along the lines, he'd ended up being accepted into the fold. he understands it, perhaps better than most. ]
I don't know if I can do anything about the spirit, but maybe we can scare it away. Just tell me where to be, and we'll get rid of the fires.
Mm. [ Her father had raised her to never turn her back on others in need. She may be Unseelie, but that's a code of honor she abides by. It's oddly perfect, she thinks of her father the whole entire time in this mess. ]
They were not far, north of Caer Scima. So it's understandable that they are desperate.
I tried to tame a fire in La Llorona a few days ago. [ before the station had been decimated beneath the jabberwock's feet. he sighs; fire is one element that's impossible to control, especially without a waterbender like katara around to try and douse out what he has only begun to learn to snuff out with the heel of his foot. ] It's not surprising they've spread, even though I thought maybe we'd have gotten one of them under control.
I didn't know a firebending spirit could exist. Maybe I can try and convince it to light fires that are more useful. [ it's hope, thinking perhaps the spirit might wish to assist rather than ruin. he simply wonders what aang would do. ] It's cold. They'd be cold, too?
[ Actually, Alice needs a moment. She has to get up, and walk around the room, because the image of burning homes and lands are enough to nearly have her in a panic attack. This conversation is difficult and Alice needs air to breathe for a few minutes. ]
I don't know. I can only assume. [ and fire is wild. if there's a fire spirit lighting up la llorona, he can only assume there's a few more areas about to be sparked. perhaps it's a good thing he's settled near quendi. he can easily teleport over and try and put them out if no one else happens to be there. ]
But you'll be okay. [ he feels it's important to say it. he's never been the type to console anyone, but he thinks that's what she might need now. ] I won't leave until it's completely out. And we'll tell the spirit to go elsewhere. I'm sure the Pyrii wouldn't mind it lighting fires at Mount Verla.
[ After what happened to Faolan, there's nothing more terrifying than the pyrii, in her opinion. That feeling of dread returns, Alice is feeling sick in her stomach.
At the very least, she can say she's grateful she contacted him. ]
I've already been. They burned my name into a rock. [ and he sounds perplexed by it, for he is. what will they do with it? will they even remember him? he doesn't think too much on what she's said. he's heard whispers of how the jabberwock was taken down, but he doesn't wish to think on it, given how he feels simultaneously remorseful and relived. ]
[ they're his connection to fire. they had been his only connection to the originators of firebending until druk had been dropped into his lap. ]
If the spirit doesn't go away, I can just ask them for a favour.

There are many spirits of different elements, I've come to find, so it's not surprising, it's still...
[ Terrifying to have put up with a fire and light spirit. ]
I don't know.

[ Poor Faolan; she couldn't see it in him, but surely the poor man must be a wreck. No one can forget burns. Alice takes a shaky breath. ]
I'd rather avoid them, to be honest.

[ he sounds uneasy. his voice drifts off. ]
They can be a last resort. I'm sure the spirit will listen if we make it.
[ and if not, he doesn't particularly wish to think of what they will need to do then to make sure it stops lighting fires near these people. ]

Alice breathes a sigh of relief. ]
If we make it -- well, I certainly hope so, it doesn't sound very benevolent.

When do you want to put out the fires? I can teleport. There's a good chance I may have been there before — if not, I walk fast.
