"Salamanders?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow. He'd heard something about new arrivals today too, but for once something that girl said actually rang a bell: ninth grade English, reading about firemen who burned books... He smiled at the thought. "That remains to be seen, doesn't it?" He followed her as she walked to the fence, where a bus was pulling up. That had given him an idea. Hadn't his mother taught him to welcome guests?

The flames leapt off his fingertips and coalesced, growing larger by the second while he tried to remember what those creatures looked like. Eventually he settled on a picture he'd seen once in an encyclopaedia. The fire-salamander, nearly a metre long now, scurried through the fence. 

A brief glance to his right and he remembered. Jack was photophobic, wasn't he? Oh well. Anyone approaching from that direction would have to settle for a slightly worse view. 

Twin streams of blue and orange fire erupted in midair, entwining to spell out simply, "Welcome to Smile Asylum!" At the same time, the fire-salamander exploded into several dozen smaller ones, each of them speeding towards a different person getting off the bus. Some were at the limit of his range, dissipating a couple of feet away from them or as soon as he averted his eyes. Others were closer, and those could go within an inch of their skin before dying out. He didn't send any in Jack's direction. Anyone there would have to be left out too. 

The words hung in the air for a moment longer, then twisted and dissolved. Sebastian watched the new patients intently, wondering what they'd thought of it.
