[He might have thought to lock it if he hadn't been so excited with his news.]

Oh my god! Okay, okay. So maybe this place isn't so bad. I got magic. That's apparently my gifty boon thing for getting my ass handed to me by the invading hoard.

[He pauses, blinking and grinning down at the locket.]

I'm actually living a video game now. I feel like I just leveled up. Now all I need's a familiar. But look. Look!

[He waves around a staff, then points the locket at the books that had arrived with the staff, symbols emblazoned on them and looking exactly like what they were; spell books.]

Dude, I'm a freaking magician. Wizard? Sorcerer? I don't really know yet, but I can do stuff. See?

[He'd already poured through part of a book and had memorized one incantation. He repeated it, the tip of his staff glowing before the comforter on his bed caught fire.]

Oh... uh, no. No, shit. No, wait I didn't, hey! Hey! Stop. Finito! FLAME OFF! FLAME! OFF!

[He drops the locket and the staff and goes to pull the comforter off to toss in the fireplace. Have fun watching that debacle.]

Stiles! What's wrong with you? Setting fires? Are you out of your mind?! You could kill yourself!

[teenyoda]

Hey, don't freak out on me. I thought I was aiming it at the fireplace. I guess I have to work on that. But you saw that, right? I did that.

[amplified]

This coming from the guy who didn't even want me to try talking to them about leaving... ( She gives him a look. ) Please be more careful.

[steeledskin]

...So. You've found something.

[ fire. how dreadful. but there are leagues between her and him, she supposes. she is stuck still a long march away from the castle. ] Good. I'm glad for you.

[teenyoda]

Looks like I did? I mean, it's not just that. I got books here with a whole bunch of stuff, but that was the first one I sort of memorized.

[He might need to work on his inflection more. But hey, Alayne, be proud of him.]

Means I'm not completely useless, right? How about you? You didn't wind up getting hurt or anything during the invasion, did you?

[ okay normally korra might get a good chuckle from someone screwing around with elemental powers, but this is fire and while korra's favorite bending style is firebending, she at least has respect for its power. ]

Hey, watch it! [ sorry if that comes off a little snappish, stiles! ] You shouldn't mess around with fire until you learn how to control it.

[teenyoda]

... Hey, it's not like I have a PhD in learning how to use magic, okay? This is new. I'm trying. It doesn't exactly come with full instructions. But there's more here than just fire, so, ah, maybe I'll stick with one of those for practicing.

[There's a novel idea, Stiles. How about not burning down the castle?]

audio;

[liugan]

Already such a professional. You must be very proud of yourself.

[teenyoda]

Yes, because that's what I need right now; snarky condescension. Thank you for filling in that void in my life.

[unclebob]

Don't burn the castle down.

[Has Terminator grown a sense of humor? Nope, he's being dead serious.]

[teenyoda]

I'm not gonna burn the castle down.

Apparently just my bedding.

[showmeyourwreath]

Be careful! That's incredibly dangerous.

[This is just a small taste of exactly what she's afraid of and she can't help but be concerned.]

Are you alright?

[teenyoda]

So I'm discovering.

[The blankets are in the fire pit and the rest of the room is safe. No worries, new person.]

Um... yeah? Maybe a little embarrassed, but I'm used to that.

[ Although Dany is naturally suspicious of magic, well, it's Stiles. The nervous boy from the feast, unwilling to allow her to trouble herself on his behalf. ]

[ teasingly. ] It seems you are a dragon of your own now.

[teenyoda]

Ha, ha, yeah, you're hilarious. And I shall now and forever be known as Stileszilla.

[He was wiping soot off his hands, missing the streak on his face as he looked back into the locket, but he was giving her a smile as he did.]

Kind of wasn't expecting that to happen. Your little guys set much on fire?

[tiaraaction]

[dude she is watching this whole thing for like five minutes before: ]

Try conjuring a lot of water?

[teenyoda]

... Haven't learned that one yet.

[Stomp stomp, that would be the last of the lingering flames, thank you. He don't need no steekin' water.]

[decked]

[oh, god. the amount of pure disbelief in isaac's face is unfathomable. he doesn't know where to start. his mouth opens but nothing comes out, he is too shocked to form words for at least five full seconds until a small hum begins to make its way out of his throat, then the actual words come.]

Are you kidding me.

[it's not a question.]

No. No, this can't be real. I must be dreaming to think that they would give you magic.

[teenyoda]

[Beam. Beam, smile, gloat, beam.]

What's that? Someone's not the only special little boy in class anymore? Aww. I'm so sorry fo-- no, wait, I'm not.

Because once I get the hang of this, people can shove their swords up their butts.

[gamin]

[ That gets barked laughter. Like, a lot. Hey, Stiles, remember this brat? ]

You're a right fool, huh?

But hey--hey, teach me.

[teenyoda]

[Oh my god, who let this kid back in?]

You're a... shut up.

I don't know if I can. Did you get books and a staff? Because it might be a books and staff type thing.

Besides... I'm not sure how comfortable I am with the idea of you and fire, you little molotov rioter.

voice;

[skennen]

[... Well, that's horrifying.]

They gifted you magic you cannot control.

[It was supposed to be a question, but it ended up far more Captain Obvious statement-like.]

[teenyoda]

Hey, buddy, no one can control anything they just get like that right off the bat. I need some practice, that's all.

[Have a little faith.]

[bullhorned]

[He snorts in amusement. He hadn't meant to answer, but. Well, here was his answer.]

You ought to have stuck with a sword, Stiles. Makes me near glad to not be stuck at the castle with you.

[teenyoda]

Yeah, well, you just wait till you get back here. You, me, swords and staffs in the training field. We'll see who wins then, huh.
