[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. It is not. It is in a room that one enters first. In the fire box.

I think you are referring to a fireplace. Does it have a place to vent the smoke?

Yes. The place for fire. Only it had no fire.

Did you think to bring some logs of wood?

Yes. This one has wood. It is the flint that this one is missing. Or so it has been explained.

I see, and do you have something for fanning air a bit and something to poke it once you have it started?

A fan? Fire requires a fan as well as wood? [Wow, what a demanding element!]

Yes, air is required for fire. Fanning the flames is important in spreading it amongst the logs.

Air. [She repeats it. Still having trouble understanding it.] Does not the fire burn the logs?

The fire burns the logs, the air provides another component necessary to fuel the flames.

Fire is a very demanding element. This one did not realize there would be so much to start a fire.

Magic does simplify things.

This one does not have fire magic and thus wishes to learn how to create fire.

However, this one was unaware that it would be so difficult.

Anything you have never done before seems difficult. Those who are experienced travellers know how to make a fire, it is a matter of necessity.

I do not like fire. [It's annoying. Very annoying.]

To be expected.

[Also good to know]

It doesn't mean you should give up on making it though.

This one shall not. [If humans can do it; then so shall she!] A rock is needed for fire. Have you heard of the same for the creation of fire?
