"No, I mean a lighter." She corrected, seemingly annoyed, before her eyes opened up. The tops of her cheeks tinted a bit, and she nervously chuckled, placing the cleaned piece of flint aside. "I.. am sorry. I forgot. Everyone's got bits and pieces of stuff and they're not always the same. I guess.. lighters don't exist here." she nodded. She looked back up at him, trying to hold a gaze in hopes that perhaps the next bit of information was going to make a little sense. Because she thought it made sense- but alas; the complexities of technology seemed to fall flat on a lot of the people around here. And while some of it still didn't make sense to her? Her limited knowledge seemed above what most people had to offer.
"So.. in my world, there is no magic. None whatsoever. And there was no dragons.. or gryphons, or Wicker Women. And so people made tools for, well, just about everything. Really useful ones. A lighter was one of them. In my world, they were very.. common. Some even collected them, like my brother, because they'd stylize them like some of those brooches and such I see on people around here sometimes." she explained.
"Anyways.." she hastened, becoming a bit self conscious of her own little escapade here. "A lighter is a little metal box, about yay big. Inside the metal box, is two balls of cotton, and a fluid. In my world, we used a thing called lighter fluid which was like alcohol? But lighter. Way lighter. But- there would be a metal 'wick' right here.. " she started at this point to demonstrate on the ground how the lighter work, using a stick to draw it out. The explanation would continue for a bit longer.. before it rounded off to a nice finish. "And thus, you'd get a fire! Any time you wanted, that couldn't be smudged by the wind due to the windshield on it. And you could refill it just by poppin' that off. And, of course, as long as you weren't a dummy with it, the lighter could last ya around 6 months or so without breaking."
"See, I was told that we had to make presents for the capturing the sun thing.." she paused. "I don't have many friends, but a lot of the folks who helped me get started live in- or are going to Halo. And if it's cold, I wanted to make sure they stayed warm. It's the least I could do. So I thought some lighters would go a long way. I still got some pieces to figure out, but that's the big plan. Namely just lookin' for the stuff on this list here." she tapped on the parchment she had tucked away in her belt.
"With all these folks heading out there, maybe I should head out there myself." she laughed.
