In her enjoyment of the food and casual argument with Kyle, Lin belatedly noticed the shadow over by his....friend? Master? Whatever those two had going on, it occurred to her that Neric deserves more than her fear after having spoken aloud.  

She tried to catch the Void's....hopefully it had eyes. Addressing it directly, she said, "Sorry Nur..Nuric? My culture shock got the best of me.  My name is Lin Yang, I'm seventeen, and my power lets me experience past events I may have no prior knowledge of." 

The girl was acutely aware that everyone could hear her. She intentionally left out the bit about her abilities having a certain range.  [I]Might as well open up about myself before giving people life advice,[/i] she admonished herself firmly.  Turning her gaze onto Kyle, she let a bit of frost creep into her tone. "As for you, you approach your own sister like a problem to be solved. Yes Ivy's power might be dangerous. Yes, just putting My hand on her shoulder burned a little. But I think Ivy doesn't need to change in the slightest. Her energy and enthusiasm would be praised in the correct environment. She could explore and map the innermost parts I volcanoes! She could learn to work a smeltery and Make God knows what awesome stuff!  So damnit Kyle, you can try to hide It's light under a bushel, but I promise IVY," 

Here she switched her gaze over to Ivy, softening her fierce expression considerably. "I promise IVY that I will do everything I can to help you grow as a person, as your own person, and find ways for you to help everyone with your fire. "

Her blonde mane hid cheeks flaming pink with embarrassment. [I]It's your first e.g.. Don't screw this up, stupid![/i]  the little voice in her head told her.
