[She's silent through all this. And for a short moment after it no less. A sound of a held breath being pushed out after a moment, and a sigh. It all made a lot of sense, and it's not like she hadn't heard it before.]

Professor Broom used to say some of the the same things. When I was younger. [she missed him. He died not long ago, for her.] I'm a pretty big runaway kind of person, generally. I can admit to it being mostly out of fear. I don't like being out of control.

I think I've been pretty good about not running so far. It's a start. [She gave a small puff or air after that. Hnng] It all sounds a lot easier said then done though. Others like you are the embodiment of elements? Like... you turn into what you control? It's not mental. Not the same in some ways. I get hit with something? Lose my temperament. There goes an entire city block, and countless lives.

If I don't control my emotions, how does one control the fires that follow? Or that sick, honest to god good feeling of burning everything down? I shouldn't want to let the fires take over, but every time I do, it's all I want to do.

Not to mention a 'slip up' tends to be pretty devastating to anyone around me.

[Her tone isn't argumentative, but more curious to what he thinks. Honestly trying to work this all out.]
