[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.]

Then why call it flint? It is a rock. [Humans. Always complicating things.] I do not see how these actions become fire. [Not that there's doubt that she's being told something wrong. More confusion. She knows humans can create fire. She's just only seen it with magic or lightening.]

Why do the trees in the forest not catch fire as their branches rub together?

It's called flint because there are different types of rocks. Shale, marble, pyrite. Those are just a few. [She's from a quarry district. Stoneworking and weapons are her thing.]

And the trees don't catch fire ["idiot," the tone implies] because you have to create a lot more friction than occurs naturally.

Rocks are not.... rock? [Does not compute.] Is flint a rock that is... red? [Fire is red right?]
