Kieron pulled the stick away just slightly. "Careful, man. The fire's real, even if it's not the right color sometimes."

At the question, he just smiled a little. His eyes never left the tip of the stick. "I just wanted it to happen enough, and it did." He began tilting the stick to the side as he talked, allowing the fire to spread along the side, still cycling through colors. "It used to be a lot harder, of course. But after enough practice, it got easier. It's probably kind of like your light trick, too, isn't it?"

And that, hopefully, would get him the answer he thought he was going to get.
