[Obsidian.

Obsidian, stop that.

People are going to need to use the kitchen sometime.

You can't just sit in front of the oven and watch the burner.

Obsidian, no.]

[He spares a moment for the scars -- so that's what they look like, when you use the burn collars regularly -- but he's transfixed by the actual act of the fire eating so much that he doesn't linger on them.]

...practice and...pain tolerance.

I can do that.

[(i don't think "tolerance" is a strong enough word for you obsidian)

He leans forward to swipe one of the sticks off Red's coat and dip it, but then stares at it a moment like he's not sure he wants to attempt this after all.]

...

[pyrrhic_thunder]

Here, watch.

[He lights his torch again and tilts his head alll the way back.]

Fire will always go upwards, so you have to point your mouth up, too. That way you can put th' end of the torch in there without burnin' your cheeks or anything.

Then you exhale and blow it out, or close your mouth around it and suffocate it. It'll go out almost instantly, but don't be surprised if you end up with a bunch of blisters on your lips.

[He slooooowly lowers the torch into his mouth and it never dawns on him how PHALLIC it looks lmao]

[oh. well.

wow

He watches very intently until Red is finished, then lights his own torch and tips his head back, tongue out, eyes falling half-closed. he has practice making things ridiculous and phallic ok

He lowers it slowly -- just as he was shown -- and as soon as the cloth is in his mouth he closes his lips around it, letting out a small noise at the burn. His throat bobs like he believes he can actually swallow the flame.]

[blizzardkaiser]

[He removes the torch and stares at the end.]

...

That was easier than I expected.

[pyrrhic_thunder]

[what's with those icons obsidian]

Don't swallow, you'll end up hocking up.. gh...

[speaking of. He tries to restrain it, but he starts coughing, gripping the edge of a table for balance. He usually does his tricks faster than that, and taking big deep demonstrative breaths pushed his lungs too hard.]

[blizzardkaiser]

[he was maybe trying to impress you a little ok

...Oh. Something went wrong...?

He stands up and moves to Red's side, watching him.]

...should I find help?

[He's more concerned than he looks.]

[pyrrhic_thunder]

[oh... maybe you should call me shishou ;> ]

[He recovers for a moment and waves dismissively, shaking his head between coughs.]

Nhh... No.... I just...

[wheeze]

Breathed too damn much, I guess.

[BITTER MUMBLE]

[blizzardkaiser]

...

...from the burn collars?

[He touches his own throat again, through the fabric of the turtleneck.]

[pyrrhic_thunder]

Collars, cigarettes, occupational hazards.

[His cough falls into a wheezy, bitter chuckle. It takes a lot out of him, though, so he crumples down into a chair.]
