Current Mood: confused

[Voice]

[Xzana was not liking this new time period. Not from the lack of technology. In fact she liked less technology as it tended to just confuse and scare her in the end. It was from the cap on her powers. It leaves her feeling weak and worried if the droids are still in this time how much worse it will be to run into them. So once again she's trying to avoid falling into her hibernative state this winter.

So she finds herself now missing the technology. The way it kept the apartment she would claim for the winter warm so she'd stay awake. Fire is not something she had to worry about in the past. Xzana knew the basic idea of how it worked. You pile wood in a special area in the home and then... then... then she's not sure what to do next. Maybe the magic book knows!]

Humans. How do you create fire without magic? [She knows it's possible. She's seen humans do so in her own world. Oh wait! Wasn't it something about banging sticks together?]

BANG! BANG! BANG!

[Stupid fire.]

Those sound like the words of someone who's used to creating fire with magic.

[Were the barrier's restrictions hitting so hard that even the smallest flame wasn't possible?]

I do not call on the power of fire, but water. [BANG! BANG!] In the other land the houses were warm all year. This one is cold. [Not that she feels cold in the same way as most. She knows the idea of cold as it makes her sleepy.]

Fire shall warm this place.

[He certainly hears that banging sound.]

Well, I see some people are giving you ideas on how to start a fire. But do you have any fuel?

Fu-el? Is that another word for flint? [As humans have a weird habit of having multiple words for the same thing.

Also, that would be a no.]

[That definitely sounded like a no.]

Well, if you know what fire is, I assume you know what things can burn with fire. "Fuel" is anything that will burn, basically.

[...] In most cases, wood.

[Oh. It just means wood. Stupid words meaning more than one thing.] This one has wood.

Well, maybe you'll be lucky and you won't have to start a fire more than once. Just get it started and keep putting wood in so the fire never goes out.

To start the fire. That is the part this one can not move past.

Do you have any neighbors or roommates who can help with that? It's definitely something easier to show than explain over the journals.

No. I do not. [BANG! BANG! BANG!]

[His ears twitch each time he hears those sounds, and he barely represses a long sigh.]

...Well. If you need help, I guess I can try to help. Maybe I have matches around. That might help even more.

Yes. This one may acquire assistance. [She's not too proud to ask for help for things she thinks it's not an embarrassment to lack understanding in. Which is most human things.] This one has been told that matches are sticks that make fire. Is that true?

This one...? [The words are murmured, basically under his breath, before he continues at a more normal volume.]

That's a basic way of putting it, yeah. A match has the components needed to produce a fire with friction.

[...Why is he explaining this now?] Never mind. I'll explain in person. Where can I meet you?

This one is in the large human home nearest the forest. On the highest level.

[If she could read names then maybe should could give a number.]
