he always liked  the  candles.  the  look  of  them  &  sometimes  even  the  smell  of  them  depending  on  the  make.  there’s  something  calming  about  the  flame.  the  way  it  would  flicker,  the  warmth  it  would  give.  fire  was  a  part  of  the  wildmother’s  gifts  too  &  caduceus  did  his  best  to  appreciate  &  respect  all  aspects.  fire,  thankfully,  was  easy.  it  wasn’t  his  element,  but  he  knew  ashes  &  dust  as  well  as  anyone.  caduceus  smiled,  not  turning  around.  just  steps  aside  to  let  caleb  stand  next  to  him.  ❛ caleb——would  you  like  to  do  the  honours  ? ❜
