That leaves us with two possible options then. We're either not at a risk of getting hurt, or that's the point. [He paid attention, too.] Neither of these sound good.
[He jumps a little at being called out, looking back at his hands and nodding.]
Right. Sorry. [Don't apologize? He's thrown off, mostly, but at least this time it's easier to bring the little sparks back. Baby flames rest on his finger tips after trying to concentrate for five minutes.]
...Lili's powers seem to be working for her, too. I'm still finding out what other people have.
[It's a different kind of game. He's used to the teasing that comes from Hikaru and he's usually on the other end of this terrorizing everyone he knows, but being out of his element is a Lot. Nevertheless he's letting the flames sit on his fingers and watching them for a moment.]
Well yeah, that's why I'm going to outsource. If I speak to enough people and others speak to another group, I can consolidate what I've learned.
Nothing else to do, is there? [There's a little grin.] If his show yesterday is anything to go by, Ookurikara's fire, too. Daiba-chan and I were trying to figure out hers but she doesn't know yet. And you know Lili's.
[Yep. Everybody is first-name basis except Nana for reasons we don't actually know.]
[That's really abrupt and Kaoru jerks his head back as soon as there's a little fuel to the fire.]
Hey! [But the fireball grows and he adjusts his hands to hold it, staring at it for a moment.] ...it's staying. And it's not burning my hands. Also? That warning was terrible.
[Axel would then actually be flamesilocks, that's what. Kaoru's adjusting his hands, rotating his wrists to hold this small baby fireball.]
Having perfect control with my hands is part of my job. [Is it, Kaoru. Is it really.] It's getting it to start there that seems to be the trouble right now.

[ he. has. paid attention. ]

[ to make his point he draws an x with the fire and, also, stops drawing stuff to look at Kaoru and gesture at his hands ]
Not that I don't get the urge, but quitting ten minutes into your first lesson is a bit much.

It's fine. I was messing with you.
[ anyway. ]
I think some of 'em are still finding it out, too. And I'm not so sure they'd all be willing to share if they do.

[i.e. Kyoya would maybe be proud of him. Maybe.]
no subject
That's one way to gather the info you need. Well, if it helps, Vally's fire like both of us. That's about all I've got so far, though.
[ because he hasn't fucking asked. ]

[ that's pretty abrupt, but he only adds a widdle bit of fire to kaoru's current fireball to try and make it bigger. just to see. if it works.
kaoru is going to set him on fire. ]

Dunno what you mean. It worked fine. [ it absolutely did not. ] You don't have any real issue with control when its in your hands, so that's good.
[ what if he DID, axel, you IDIOT ]

You think it'll go anywhere? [It's a very, very small ball.]
no subject
[ also it might be better to practice projectile while it is....... tiny ]
no subject
And he tries to throw it! Except it literally just falls onto his foot instead, immediately snuffing out.]
...really?
no subject
Well, that's a no.
no subject
Maybe if it was bigger? Then it'd have somewhere to go.
no subject
[ he says that as a joke, but he makes himself a? decently sized? fire ball? and he holds out his hand like he wants kaoru to try and take it? ]
no subject
That's not burning your hands, is it?
no subject
that's such a dumb question he has to: ]
Yes. I'm in excruciating pain right now. Only you can save me, Kaoru.
no subject
...and hold it. Cool. That's great. Good job.] I hope you have a plan to put out the fire if this goes poorly.
no subject
Yeah, more fire. [ he's joking. maybe. ] It'll be fine, it's not that big.
