I giggle. "Not exactly..."
I reach down and pat away the fire with my hand, which also doesn't hurt from the flames. "I'm learning lumen, a spell which makes me fireproof. I guess I can also set fire to things..?"
I laugh. "Sounds neat." I say. "I used to do some ice magic. I lost it over the years as those headaches diminished, but I can still do a thing." I flick my fingers together, and a couple of small snowflakes rain down from above Chiyoko.
For a while after, I sit and try to read the ancient book that I checked out of the library when I was learning about lumen, cross referencing everything with another book so that I can work out what all of the runes say.
I eventually give up with trying to read the book. Having to look everything up in the other one is very tedious. Instead, I stare out of the window. Aions is sitting down by the pool, so I flash my lights at his chest, making sure not to make them too concentrated. Setting fire to my sock is one thing, but I'd rather not set fire to one of the only friends I have.
I put my coffee on the ground, and run around the pool, trying to escape the light. I look down at my chest. "What the heck is going on??" I eventually jump into the pool to avoid it.
I start to giggle again. He still hasn't realised....
I make the light follow him beneath the water, then shut it off completely after a brief moment underwater.
The light disappears. I swim back up to the surface and get out of the pool, breathing heavily. I look at the hotel, and see Chiyoko giggling in the window. I remember her playing with her light magic under the blanket. I'm going to kill her when I get back up there! I dry myself off, and go back up to the brute room, coffee in hand.
