[SE] river of fire

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take

The sound of clothing that will not dull sparks a light of excitement in Lyra's brilliant blue eyes, and she grins brightly at the thought. "That would be amazing!" she exclaims, her unbridled joy present not only because of the clothing she might one day own, but because of the exuberance and pride that the young woman displays in her work. There is something to be said for doing work that one enjoys, and it's always a pleasant surprise to find such in a young person with so much zest for life.

Nova has magic in spades, it seems, and she summons a variety of elements that all blend beautifully into a display that has Lyra gasping with awe. Then the young woman shares that she has shifts, too, and Lyra raises her brows. "That's quite rare, isn't it? To have magic and shifts?" The implication being, of course, that Nova must be quite special, and Lyra blessed to have met her.

The wind blows another gust of smoke into their space, and Lyra's smile dims as she coughs. "I'm so sorry, Nova," she says as she recovers. "But I'm afraid I'm going to head back to the village to get out of this smoke. But I will definitely be in touch about those clothes!"

So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid
