she moves and it's fire, fire underwater

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[Morgana is trying to read in the library by candlelight. She does so for some time, paying little mind to the candle as the wax builds up and dulls the light. Until it goes out entirely.

Annoyed, Morgana looks to the candle—her eyes flash gold—and then the candle is lit again. For the briefest moment Morgana looks satisfied, before surprise and fear move in so fast that she starts and knocks the candle over, spilling wax everywhere as it sputters out again.]

It must have been...

[And now she doesn't even have any matches.]

I am fine. [She is still staring at the Technology.] But there is no flame in it.

Good. It is powered by electricity from a battery, which is simply a small, portable power source. [He offers the torch to her.] It's harmless, you may look at it if you wish.

[She looks it over, only just stopping herself from looking right into the light and blinding herself. Then she looks back up at him.] And this is a creation of science, not magic.

[nods] It is.

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[She flashes him a smile as she gives it back to him.] If you said as much in my world, none would believe you and you would be burned as a witch.

I have a gift for persuasion. [he returns the smile as he takes the torch back from her.] But I will remember that.

[He looks to where the candle is and back to her.] Do you have any other way to light it?

[ex_oneiromancer912]

Arthur may have some flint with him. [So, no.]

[best-served-hot.livejournal.com]

I could try my hand, if you like. [he reaches into his inside jacket pocket, pulling out his screwdriver.]

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[She raises her eyebrows] More magic that is really science.

[best-served-hot.livejournal.com]

Precisely. You might want to step back. [He adjusts the settings, aims, and fires. And lo, there is a flame! Yay for technology!]

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[Morgana is fascinated by this. Even though any explanation would go wellllll over her head.] Thank you. I am not sure what I would have done without a light.

I'm only happy I could be of service, my lady.
