He had burned himself cooking before, but that didn't compare to this, the monster's flame was a lot hotter than the average stove.

Kaede tried to dodge the second fireball, but was less successful, and it scorched his legs. [i]Breathe, Breathe. Of course it hurts, you're not invincible, you're not a superhero. Though this would make a good origin story, and with the lightning power I could joke and say I was Thor... and ow, shit, legs. [/i]
