EDMUND
Edmund relaxes at Sunjata's easy reassurance. The man seems so sure, so he can he not believe him. It's a relief nonetheless that his mummy won't be in trouble with Safrin for having an Abandoned kid. It's just as nice to know that the Goddess won't be angry with him either. Maybe, just maybe...he will get that hug when they turn in the regional quest.
Worried gone, Edmund turns his focus onto the fire. Just as always, he feels the echoes of the flickering flame deep within. A buzzing in his veins as his eyes instinctively narrow in on the fire as soon as it appears. He hardly hears Sunjata's words with how jarring the sudden switch in focus is.
Edmund's blood burns but his heart steadies as he reaches out a hand towards the fire. Almost entranced, he scoops the tiny flame up and out of the lighter, holding it in the palm of his hand. Coming to his senses, the child stares at the tiny flame in his hand, "Oh." His eyes flash up to meet Sunjata's, "That's a yes then, I think?"

I never realized how beautiful
Fires burn under the stars
Fires burn under the stars
