Emily pondered for a moment, trying to think of a long-term benifit of Torrens coming. One that allowed him to be productive, coming along. Then she scoffed.
"Mortals don't see what they don't want to, or can't understand. Runes do not properly exist in this world until that which they are drawn for is cast. It's the same reason they can't percieve Death when he comes, before they human brain refuses to percieve that which it can not immidiately rationalize. Or though, I guess there would be an execption to that. Say, if Death was in a play, and people expected him to appear, then they would see him. Just, put away his appearance as good costume work" she then gathered herself, getting side-tracked again.

"But, as for productive, I guess it is a risk. I have  a feeling that the Kitsune could grant you a greater understanding of the nature of your element, but it is possible that nothing could really happen. So, if you want to go on a raid, then I guess that would be the better of the two. I don't mean to offend, but you don't seem like the scholourly type who would seek enlightnment or absolute knowledge. Just, setting things on fire" She then remembered something, and held out her hand, a small, white flame blossomed into existance. Or rather, the casing of a flame, the actual casing was empty for several seconds, until a spark caught and filled the container, small as it was. The flame was also white, rather than the usual red or orange, which made it clear this was no ordinary fire.
"I don't expect any trouble now, but this is more of a future investment. If you ever run into any trouble, eat this. I am not sure how well it'll go down, butwhen it activates, it'll certainly outweigh any bad" she then held it out to Torrens, for him to take.
