Kinship of Flames

Steven was a sort of organised guy, not down to a micromanaging level but in general terms. Some days he dedicated to learning, reading and trying to discover more about the wide new world of the supernatural since he had arrived on the island. Other days were devoted enjoying himself, maybe a drink, maybe some writing or even some dancing out on the town if the mood took him. Finally though some days were devoted to that which had completely changed his life, devoted to the powers he had first manifested at the beginning of the year. Sometimes it was experiment, seeing just how intricate an object he could create out of ice, or seeing how easily he could break metal by heating and cooling it rapidly. Today though he intended something of a more physical nature.

He headed to one of the power classrooms, he knew would be empty seeing lessons were over for the day. It was also one he knew wouldn't be in use by one of the numerous after school clubs. When he arrived, firstly he glanced in the window of the door to see if anyone was around. Not seeing anyone he tried the door handle. Luckily it was unlocked, and Steven headed inside. Stripping off his light brown jacket, Steven tossed it to the side of the room. What he was planning today was a little more physical then he normally attempted. The jacket would weight him down, and he would probably get to hot wearing it.

Jogging to the far of the room and back, as a small warm up, Steven started to stretch out his muscles. Knowing well enough that he needed to do so. He was almost done, and about to start his little training session when he heard noise from behind him. Footsteps from the door to the room. Looking over his shoulder, wondering if he would get in trouble for randomly using the room. It wasn't like he could have tried to leave without passing who was heading towards the door anyway so he instead called out. "Hello?"

Strven was surprised when it was a face he knew, that opened the door and entered. It took him a second to put name to face, as they hadn't met many times nor recently, but when Steven spoke he tried to sound sure that he remembered him. "Hey Stefan, it been awhile." He pointed out and wondered how he should awnser the question. There was no harm in it. "Na I don't forget things really." He said with a laugh. "I was just taking the chance to try out some new tricks with my powers. Lessons don't really give the freedom to try new stuff." He told Stefan. "I was just warming up, pun very much intended."

Steven finished off doing a last couple of arm streches. "What about you? Wasn't expecting anyone to come down here today." Steven asked flipping Stefan's own question back towards him. Thinking that maybe he had forgetton something himself, and that was why he had thought of that first when finding Steven. However Steven didn't voice the assumption, as he didn't see a need to risk being wrong.

Steven brough an arm up to his face in response to Stefan breathing fire, it was that they were aim at him but the amount of fire was enough to cause a sudden wave of heat. The sort of feeling like standing in front of a bonfire, bareable but not the most pleasent on the eyes. "Those are certainly some flames." Steven said impressed. "Bigger then anything I can normally make, ergo the trying to come up with new tricks." Steven added as an idea came to him.

"If we are both trying to push ourselves how about we help each other out." Steven offered, and started to run his hands over his own clothes. Leaving a thin layer of ice behind as he did. His mind becoming sharper and cool. "This should stop your flames burning me by accident, and what I wanted to test for myself was a indirect use of my own." Steven explained calmly, walking away to put some distance between the two of them. "You see if you can scorch my clothes some." Steven said, leaping backward and holding his hands up. Small brief jets of flames blasted from each hand sending him flying back an extra couple of foot. "And I try and use mine to get close enough to grab you."

The small display melted the icy clothes a little but was small enough he could still make use of his ice. So he applied an extra layer to his clothes just to be on the safe side as he knew once he really started to make use of his flames that he wouldn't be able to use them straight away. His mind grew even colder but he knew that once he started to use his flame it would heat back up some. "So yes or no?" He asked flatly.
