[video] UNSEELIE LOCKED;

[fulminants]

So, guys. You remember when we lost all the fire magic in the world to the Void because of reasons?

Well, we've got some hope here. Well, a small, puppy-like, really adorable hope, and his name is Kaio. He's a new god forged from some god of the forge and a shardbearer, and I'm sure some of you have seen him around, because I sure have.

But more importantly, he's going to need shrines, and offerings. I know a lot of you lost those powers and want them back, or even if you just want to get the ability to learn those powers. He's our chance to bring back fire magic into this world again.

I've currently got one in my castle, and I'll be setting up a large shrine to him at Spire Four itself, but he'll need more. So if you guys can set up something of your own, burn offerings in his name, spread the word, you know the drill.

And hey, if he comes by, remember to give him plenty of tummy rubs and ear scratches, he really loves those.

[ But what if Johnny adds in some lines from Die Hard and Independence Day? Those movies were cool. He kisses the hand that's placed over his mouth, too, smitten with Jack, before he pulls it away and tugs Jack against him, an arm coming to wrap around his waist. ]

You've changed, you know. You're different from the man I first met.

Good.

[It comes out before Jack can think about it, but he doesn't regret it, wouldn't call it back after he does.]

That man was broken. This one, less so.

[And Johnny is to credit for much of it.

But absolutely no Die Hard.]

I like both.

[ The first one was hard to swallow, but Johnny is fond of Jack either way, drawn hopelessly to him in ways that might not be healthy -- but that's the way they work; making something good out of wretched things.

And Jack, well; Jack's to be credited for it, too. No one can change if they didn't want to. He takes his hand, leads him to their room. ] C'mon, let's go snuggle. I've got a few hours before I have to get back to work again.
