Hey. You should go to that party. Kid's your age should do that kind of thing. And it'd be good to interact with people from places other than Thorne.
Exactly.
Just... Do me a favor, alright? Don't mention my name. I don't want to be labeled a pariah to other cities when I can't even defend myself, and I'm not enough of a social bee these days to attend.
It's all in the name, kid.
Don't forget even you reacted.
Unfortunately.
I mean, I get it. If someone said they had a Summoned named Stalin, I know where my thoughts would immediately go.
I just want to be careful. Anyone that has my name is because I was willing to give it to them. It's a power that I don't like taken away from me.

Look, if any of those so-called volunteers fall through with helping you with your new Firestarter abilities, let me know.
A bit. It's not my strong suit. Or rather, it isn't my family's go-to, but I have an understanding. More on the control-aspects.
Fire and brimstone are kind of my thing you know.
[ha ha because he's
What can I say, it passes the time.
I hope so.
I know you don't want them to be right, but whoever commented about emotions and anger has a point. But it isn't about suppressing all that--you're a teenager, it's going to be impossible, no offense.
Think of your emotions more like a conduit. A springboard. Use them to do more, influence more. They'll empower you, not hinder.
That depends, I suppose. How are you with metaphor? Or are you more of a visual learner?
Well, okay. That makes this a little harder.
Think of it like this. On your own, unhindered, your default, you're a spark threatening to catch kindling at all times. Put off a bit of heat here and there. Enough to set curtains on fire.
But passion. Anger. You feed into those like you feed any fire. You allow yourself to thrive. It's not about holding back and all that nonsense. It's about understanding yourself enough that you don't become a forest fire.
And even if you do? So what. That's how fresh life grows.
Fire is always seen as nothing but destruction--rarely does anyone acknowledge that it brings new life. That it cleanses.
Strike a match, kid. I'm not kidding, you should actually do it. Without the magic you've acquired. That flame, that spark, that's you. It won't easily catch, not without all the bullshit surrounding it. Your emotions--they're your weapon. They're where you brandish your power. Just sink back into your feelings when you need to flourish and everything lights aflame around you.
Most adults don't have that power. They've shut off. Broken that connection. You don't have that luxury and that might be one of the few things that you can use to protect yourself.
