"Alright," the man said, "first thing's first: it's important to know that Radly has an elemental connection to fire."
I felt my face scrunch in confusion. "Mister Forester, what does that mean?"
"The house is fitted with a top-of-the-line sprinkler system--"
I leaned toward Scraggy and whispered. "Scraggy, what did he mean by that?"
Scraggy looked up at me and shrugged.
"On a scale of one to ten," the man continued, "how comfortable are you dealin' with fire?"
My braces snagged on the inside of my cheek as my jaw dropped. I winced and reached a finger inside my mouth to try to pull the bracket free. "Uhh... two?" My cheek snapped back into place with a sharp pop as I pulled my finger away. "We fought a lamp one time," I added. "That kinda sucked, if you ask me."
Scraggy nodded in agreement.
The man offered a strained smile of sympathy as he tried to process what I said. He cleared his throat. "Well, I don't blame ya on that."
