[Voice & Written]

[He's going to regret this later, but there's a bunch of excitedly high-pitched chirps like a bird singing a love song.]

[That's okay. It matches the background sounds.]

[But FAR more embarrassing is the scribbles he makes into the journal:]

[So someone has a case of Spring Fever. Or maybe just a fever.]

[And then in big bold colorful levels Marco makes sure to add:]

FREE FLOWER CROWNS FOR EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP NOW.

[Yeah. He's kind of lost it.]

An incantation and some power. I don't want to try it here, with the white mana, but later on, I can show you.

Aye?

I'd appreciate that.

What are they like? Socially I mean. [YEAH HE KNOWS THAT IS A WEIRD QUESTION.]

Like birds. Aggressive, fiery birds. But birds.

[See, she was curious too.]

They're not as smart as dragons, though. I...could summon those. But not here. Whatever it was Jones did interfered with that.

[He arches an eyebrow at the idea of dragons being smarter, but he'll take her word for it.]

This place is messing with it you know?

The bird thing.

The aggressive thing.

Not the fire thing, but my flames have always been different. [Just covers his arm in blue sparkly flames with a shrug.]

[That's 100% the same. The only difference is how much more it makes him want to be fully bird, and eh... whenever he's stressed he wants to be a bird.]

Birdpeople in my world at all are rare. So Leanne and Naesala have been kind of a weird treat for me, eh? [He shakes his head again.] Do you ever wonder how much is yourself or your fire? Or part of your traveling?

[She sniffs and shakes her head.]

Do I ever wonder how much of me is fire? The answer to that one is all of it. I'm not human. Not anymore.

[He shakes his head.] You're not all fire either.

Fire doesn't have will to channel it. It can only go where catches. Like flower seeds or sparks.

Your heiromancer, Gideon, he seems like he might believe that's all you are, but if you were, you wouldn't be here talking.

Heh, that's where you're wrong. I am fire. I've just got a direction.

[She laughs again.]

Fire comes from mana. Mana comes from life. If I'm alive, then I'm fire.

[Pokes her head.] You've got will too.

You haven't used all the oxygen around you or even all of it of the island, eh?

There's still distinction between your fires and Ace's, and if the whole island was on fire, you could both use the fires, but until you made it your own, it wouldn't be.

Fire doesn't have to give it form, someone has to be the will for it, and other causes have to spark it. You have your own will. So you can spark just about any amount of it you want, but you also can choose not to burn what you want.

I...don't think I'm explaining this right, so forget it. Mana's...hard enough to explain to someone that can't see it.

[Flomps back in the sand on his arms.]

Maybe not.

But I can definitely feel it.

[And it's driving him insaaaaaane.]
