Ooc- Sorry I've been gone (though i'm pretty sure no one really noticed).
Ic- A teen girl sat in the corner of the courtyard, a small, struggling fire set neatly in front of her. It was surrounded by blackened stones; suggesting that that she did this often. Small animals, especially reptiles, crowded around the heat source. The girl looked and seemed to be at peace, as the animals did not run away at her presence.
No, fire nor all animals were Laurel's power. The fire was just to attract her cold-blooded friends: reptiles. Her own pet Deimos, a rainbow desert skink, rested on a stone rather close to the flickering flames. The young student sat cross-legged next to the fire, a little cold-blooded herself. She was hoping to train with the local lizards; maybe a student if one happened to come across her and the tiny campfire.
