Adrien nodded slightly and shrugged. "I suppose... but... being someone with no powers sounds... uninteresting. Yes, I may lead a normal life... but still... kind of boring." He murmured with a shrug.

Frynn glanced at Adrien, pausing for a moment at his words. Were they true? She stared at the water for a couple seconds more. "Uninteresting, but much more safe." She commented quietly. "Boring is better than dead." She pointed out, then paused, letting her fire get snuffed out. "Plus, you're stuck with water. I'm a fire-maniac. When people think of fire, they think of death and destruction, rather than the new life that springs up afterwards." She murmured, resting her chin on her knees again.

Adrien eyes her. "Tsunami's, hurricanes, droughts, floods, monsoons." He began listing off, with an eyebrow raised. "And is boring really better then dead?" He asked, humming lightly as he picked up some water and coated his hand, them looked at Frynn's hand. Silently wondering what would happen if they touched.

Frynn snorted quietly at his words. "Okay. You've proved your point." She said jokingly, dropping her gaze to the water for a couple seconds longer. "Boring might be better than dead, but I do appreciate my powers- sometimes. At least the ones that have been actually helpful." She commented, popping a ball of fire into her hand and staring at it for a little while, her blue eyes reflecting In the red surface. A small sigh escaped her lips as she reached her hand towards the water and the flame snuffed out.

Adrien dropped the water back into the river and watched it flow away with a shrug. "I suppose." He murmured, going quiet. The silence between them was only interrupted by the running river.

Frynn hesitated before shifting and hesitating again. She wanted to say something, but she felt it wouldn't be taken the best. Would he even care? "You know, I've never seen fire and water mix, but there are so many different types of fire. I wonder if there is a type that'll burn underwater, even if just for a couple seconds." She commented quietly, glancing at Adrien before letting her hand flick with blue flames and lowering it towards the water, where it was immediately extinguished. Again, she reverted to watching the oil flames dance across the top of the water. "This is the closest I've ever got." Frynn tilted her head slightly, stretching out a leg to let the water trickle around it.

Adrien watched her curiously before coating water around his hand again and moving it toward her. "Want to try?" He asked quietly. He too was curious what might happen.

Frynn let her ocean blue eyes flit to Adrien's hand as he extended it. Of course, she was rather curious as well, but worry spiked her thoughts. "What if I hurt you..." she mumbled quietly, looking down at her hands before back at him. She had a feeling that his answer would be do it anyway, so after a second she let the same flame that could go across the surface of the water flicker across her hand, then reached forward to tentatively touch his. The flames jumped from her hand to the water eagerly, as if alive as they rushed around on his hand, but stayed where the water was. Her eyes stared with surprise and wonder. To her, fire had always acted alive, so this was quite interesting. And... well... did this mean she could get close to him? She pushed the thought out of her mind quickly. That would never happen.

Adrien raised an eyebrow. "Woah." He muttered, staring at the fire and water. It was quite pretty, the reflections of the fire in the water. It made it seem to have a series of color. It was beautiful. Adrien watched it for a long long moment. "That's incredible." He whispered.

A flicker of a smile ghosted across Frynn's face as the fire flickered back and forth from her hand to the water on his, almost seeming to enjoy it. The blue of the water reflected the orange up into the trees and around the forest, creating a spinning, dancing scope of color. "That is incredible..." she murmured, an idea popping into her head out of nowhere. She changed the fire just slightly, so small she didn't even think it'd make a difference... but it was like she invented a whole new world. The fire only felt warm, not even hot anymore, and done pretty much straight into the water on Adrien's hand, like it was using the water as oxygen. Frynn blinked, her eyes wide as she glanced up at him. "That's it. That's the fire." Her voice was quiet with awe.
