One of the firefighters that was working on the blaze from outside the building, noticed Bastet coming out of the building carrying something large. A drum of some sort. Furrowing his brow at this, he grabbed the hose firmly and moved sideways to where she was standing.

"What is that barrel there? And where did you find it?" he shouted over the roar of the loud blaze and the noise of the rushing water coming out of the hose, deafening some of the sounds around him.

"Pesticide, found it in there, was leaking into the fire. Seems the explosion damaged the bottom of it, but the top is secured tightly, so carried it like so to prevent a trail from forming. Found it at 11 from entering the building.", she didn't look to the burning building anymore, and instinctively averted her eyes from the reflection of the fire.

Basté hated fire. For her, it had become a synonym of something terrible. "I will be over there at my bike for a moment. I swear I'm going nowhere.", and thus she backed away, her aura dispersing in ghostly serpents that disappeared. Her body was still cold, despite having been there in the hell that the firefighters fought to control and stop, she scanned her phone for messages.

It was, in fact, a few hours later when Ivana and her crew finally got the blaze totally under control and were able to start packing up as they cordoned off the area so the cause of the fire could be determined along with whether the building was still structurally sound or not by engineers specialized in each field.

Taking off her helmet as she emerged from the warehouse along with Carl, Ivana shook her dark green hair free. Heading toward where her driver firefighter and second lieutenant were to see how they were doing, she listened carefully, shooting Bastet the odd, but unreadable glance as they updated her on what had gone on while she was in the warehouse.


(I'll let you post something small first before Ivana goes over to talk to Bastet.)

Basté wouldn't flee nor anything that would conceal her guilt. She did involve herself in quite the danger without thinking, things could have been worse and she was lucky they weren't. She kept her head hung low and no longer had her eyes on the phone. The screen of her phone had a family photo of when her father was still alive, someone she knew well...

Would never come back.

Ivana made her way towards the young girl when she was done with her inquiries from her men. "What's your name?" she asked as she approached the young girl. Wondering exactly how old she was too, and what hd compelled her to risk her life like she had.

Out of all possible inquires she expected, and to be scolded until she went beet-red in shame, the one inquire made was... Name. She straightened up, looking straight into Ivana's eyes with confidence. "Basté Rose Bywan, ma'am! 16 years, recently enrolled in Starlight Academy upon invitation.", okay, maybe she overdid, but chances are those questions would come in anyways, so she answered them all beforehand.

"I see," Ivana said, placing her hands on her hips and standing comfortably with her legs apart, hiding a small grin as Bastet gave her her name, her age, and what seemed like one might call her "rank". It was almost amusing in a way.

"And where are you from Miss Basté Rose Bywan?" Ivana asked her curiously, having caught the "by invitation" part.

"Japan, Southwestern region.", once again she didn't falter in her answers, "If more specifics are necessary, I was born in Kyuushu, Miyazaki.". And more wait would follow, for a question or another, holding back on any possible nervousness that could creep upon her.

"Japan," she said with a tiny smile, "I have a brother living in Hokkaido, Sapporo to be more exact," she explained, now thinking about one of her much younger brothers who had married a lovely Chinese dragon more than half a century ago.

"So... Can you explain to me how you knew about pesticide?" she asked curiously, "And where exactly did you find it? I'd also like you to show me where you found it if you can." she explained as she looked calmly at the young girl before her.

Ivana wasn't... Upset? Basté's body relaxed. "Never been to Hokkaido. My father planned a vacation there once, but we never got to.", and for sad circumstances she desired not to show, besides it was unrelated to the situation at hand. Specially because she owed some explanations and had yet to properly deliver them.

"There are two things that made it possible for me to detect it: first is that I can sense things around me. I call it Wind Sense, basically a small field around me where the entire air acts like a sensor for me. When the explosion happened it alerted me to its general direction.", the orange-head would offer to show how it works if asked.

But what was the second one? "As for how I detected it, I'm familiar with bug spray smell, and something much stronger than that entering my nostrils wouldn't pass unnoticed. And the lemony smell trailing it would have masqueraded it well for most people. It was over that way.", unsurprisingly she remembered well where it was.
