Sabine and Karl once more exchanged a look. Sabine reluctantly smiled at Rukeewei. "I will wait for a moment, thank you."

"Young people discovering fire spells seems to be a common tale with similar ends," Karl remarked. He slipped at his wine. "I'm sorry your room was burnt. I hope no one was hurt."

Sabine tried to be more encouraging. "It is easy to make magic seem big and overwhelming. It's just another skill. I do not know much about wine and brewing. I know the alchemy. That is true. But, I would have to learn as much as you did to make anything worth drinking, Rukeewei." She grinned. "I think you are also the best cook amongst us all."
