We'll start with that. [She did say she had her flying and fire back yesterday.]

We just need to go somewhere nonflammable. The beach should be okay for that.

Oh, well, that's easy enough.

[ and why bother waiting for the train? he'll just go ahead and open another, yellow-green portal straight to the beach. ]

There we go.

That's so useful.

[This is what real fast travel looks like.

She'll pick out a bunch of metal to be used, along with some shaping tools.]

No kidding. I've missed it while we've been stuck here.

[ the portal stays open until they are both fully through. he will not be chopping off any more limbs today. ]

It's strange to be without something you've had your whole life.

[She doesn't love her armor, but it's strange to be without it.]

I never even used it for most of my life... only recently.

At all? Did it just not come up before?

Well... I tried when I was really little, I guess, but that's it. We're not allowed to use our abilities in the Tower - you get in trouble for that real fast.

[ She understands this tower less and less every time she hears about it... ]

Okay...

[ Do you want to leave, buddy? ]

...I'm glad I can practice again.

[ if she doesn't actually ask he can't answer so. oh well. ]

Anyway. If you're melting the metal, then how can you shape it? Isn't it just... melted?

... Do you want to leave the tower?

[Curious.]

It melts and then it cools into whatever shape you make it. I can touch it when it's super heated like that, but you should use tools.

...It's complicated. But - yeah. I guess I do, when it comes down to it.

You can just touch it?

Maybe you can choose to go to a different world at the end?

[And as for why she can just touch extremely heated metal. Well.]

It'll be... easier to show you.

[She holds out her device and now that it's not nerfed, translucent green wings sprout from it, before Firefly is enveloped in flames one moment. And in the second, there's SAM with her voice modulation.

This really sounds like some other person.]

When I'm like this, I can.

Well, no, I can't do that. At least not yet. I still have to go back and help Iris somehow.

[ tilts his head as she pulls out the device... and yelps in alarm as she's apparently consumed by flames?! even knowing that fire is one of her abilities, what the hell?!

once they die down, he stares blankly at sam. ]

A-A little warning next time!

Seems like a lot of people need to go back to their own worlds.

[ She understands. ]

I'll keep it in mind.

Don't we all have things to go back to?

[ you, too. the trailblazer awaits. anyway, ]

Uh... So. If we're making it for you, you need another firefly charm, right?

We do.

[The Stellaron Hunters, the Trailblazer, her friends. Can't abandon them.]

Unless you want to make it something else.

[She'll pick up some metal heating it up it in her palm.]

What else would it even be...? [ thinks. ] A tulip, I guess? But I don't even know if you liked that.

[ since he sent her one a few weeks ago. ]
