EDMUND
Thankfully Edmund doesn't see the manticore, but he does hear the rustling leaves. Turning around to face the general direction of the noise, he does his best to stay calm. For a second he thinks it his imagination, and then Remi appears. The sound of another's voice startles the child and he jumps.
The flame over the lighter reacts to the child's panic and a single sparking ember lazily is given off. The ember floats on invisible wind towards Remi before hitting his chest and fizzling away into nothingness. There's a moment of calm before Edmund panics, completely disregarding anything Remi has said as guilt fills him. "Oh no! Are you ok? I didn't burn you, did I?" Growing flustered the child quickly pockets the lighter. "I'm so sorry! I still don't' know how to control my magic yet!"
