"Yeahuh, that's me. Nature Master." He huffed, watching the kid's hands. Didn't get burned, huh. "Hey, you don't need to be an Adept to be awesome. I'm awesome all by myself, thank you, Adepts have waaaaaaay too many issues to be cool."
"No, though I kinda wish they would." He scratched a pointy ear and adjusted the goggles, flicking a stone into the fire. "Because that would be cool too - I just like collecting dangerous things and making them more dangerous. Like, you know, Fred there."
The horse across the fire from them looks...kinda spikey. And faintly belligerent. In a friendly way.
