Lashan’s feeling a stab of envy about this boy so casually going over the fence. Her body doesn’t let her do that anymore, even calling on the Twins to help it along.

So she’s caught off guard a moment when he pauses to ask. What’s with this insect-catching imagery? Wait. “Hunh. All right, in ancient times when the gods walked the earth, we used to say someone obsessed with flame was a ‘firebug’. Ours is mostly reformed - she’s the tall one with the burns, you can’t miss her.”

The tall one with the burns doesn’t know she’s being discussed and is participating in a serious conversation with the twins. She seems to be holding her own, or at least, doesn’t seem chastised like the other two not dismissed to go about their days.

“She’ll be there soon enough, she knows the way.”
