"Well, maybe that guy was trying to teach by example." Ryan smirked as he pondered Cassandra's unique situation. It was strange that she didn't have much control over her powers... everyone else seemed to manipulate the elements well. "Maybe we should start with something basic. Maybe you should try burning paper? It catches fire more easily than those logs will."

"Just try and make a small flame again. Maybe if you keep practicing, you'll be able to make a bigger flame. Just stay positive. If you keep telling yourself that you can't do it, you won't be able to do it, simple as that." While Ryan was fine with sitting here and trying to help Cass with her fire manipulation, he really wished there was someone who was actually a viper that could offer advice as well, they'd have more experience in this subject...
