[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.]

No.

This one would not ask if it was known. [Xzana usually sounds rather deadpan with her slow speech, but somehow it sounds even more so.]

...you're serious. You've never heard of matches.

[Sorry, this is too weird. Quinn isn't a fan of starting fires herself, but matches are as common as shampoo!]

voice

[elongatedsmile]

Were you unable to hear this one clearly? No.

[cuteisawayoflife]

Where are you from?!

voice

[elongatedsmile]

This one is from another land and was born to a clan of dragons of the water.

Re: voice

[cuteisawayoflife]

Oh...um, okay. So you're a dragon, then? [Sorry, she tends to be slow on the uptake at times.]

voice

[elongatedsmile]

Yes. This one is of mixed blood. My mother was of the changeling dragons; my father was of water nymphs.

Re: voice

[cuteisawayoflife]

Oh...um, okay. [She's met stranger people here, but...]

I guess just rub sticks together if you want a fire. That's what they tell you on wilderness shows, after all.

voice

[elongatedsmile]

Rub? [Well, at least the banging will stop now.] What is a wilderness show?

Re: voice

[cuteisawayoflife]

Oh, um...see, we have this thing called TV, and shows are...well, like stories only with cute actors and actresses.

voice

[elongatedsmile]

Teevee. [She practices the word on her tongue.] Why do you need a teevee for stories? One need only speak for a story.

Re: voice

[cuteisawayoflife]

Because it's fun!

voice

[elongatedsmile]

Stories can be entertaining. [Wait. Actor? That means-] You get to see the story? [Slowly getting there.]

Re: voice

[cuteisawayoflife]

Yes! You get to see cute or homely or ugly people act out a story, but the ones with cute people are usually better unless they're plays from the old times.

voice

[elongatedsmile]

Homely? A human who is with in their home?

voice

[cuteisawayoflife]

It's a nice way of saying ugly.

voice

[elongatedsmile]

Ugly. [She shakes her head not always understanding human's ways. Looks weren't important to her species. It was strength and power.]

To see a story, not just hear one. [She thinks about it for a moment.] This one thinks that she would enjoy that.

[cuteisawayoflife]

It's great! Hearing a story isn't bad, but it's so much better when you have nice visuals to go along with it!

[elongatedsmile]

This one would like to see a teevee some day.

[cuteisawayoflife]

You'll love it! You'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

[elongatedsmile]

This one is a good hunter. [Duh. Food = life.]
