"Does that make you a newbie?" Auryn asks, though the question lacks malice, just humor. He wasn't actively looking for this place, but now that he's here, he'll let it pull him in.

"I am," he answers honestly. "But this wasn't the place I was looking for, exactly. And yourself?" He raises an eyebrow.

"It's handy. I have an ease with luminescence and fire," he says, and asks gently, carefully to summon light back. The easiest way to do it is to change the speed of the atoms around him: it produces harmless radiation and it's that that hovers, glowing. It's easiest for Auryn to control things he can understand, though if he let go and trusted the result he's sure it would be the same. The little light, starting slowly from the tips of his fingers, coalesces into a ball, and he tosses it forward.
