Izumo

[kissthegoddamncook]

[From here]

Something with fire is my only guess.

[He flicks with it a bit, but not being a smoker, he doesn't exactly know this.]

...Not that then.

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo is quiet for a moment, trying to come up with any ideas himself, but he's not quite sure how to do this himself.

If Kensei keeps fiddling with the lighter, though, ash may start to appear.]

[kissthegoddamncook]

[When he sees the ash, he blinks for a moment. Okay, he knows lighters aren't supposed to be doing that. He moves his fingers through the ash just to see what he can do with it.]

[toremainbehind]

[The ash follows his fingers, small wisps beginning to form.

It's only then it'll start to take the form of small projectiles, moving aimlessly around Kensei.]

You think this is my power?

[kissthegoddamncook]

Has to be.

[He nods, looking at the projectiles. It's small. Kensei's not sure when he'll ever use it.

But it's something other than his own power. And it'll fit somewhere, he knows it.

He swishes his fingers again, trying to send off the projectiles.]

[toremainbehind]

[As Kensei swishes his fingers, the projectiles flies out, almost like tiny blades.

But then it comes back, gathering into a small mass and curling around Kensei's hand.]

[kissthegoddamncook]

[He nods and removes his finger from the lighter.]

Alright, come back.

[toremainbehind]

[There's a beat of a moment before the lighter turns back into Izumo.

He blinks, rolling his shoulders briefly to adjust to the sudden shift of forms.]

[kissthegoddamncook]

You alright?

[He sighs, and shakes his head.]

Injured?

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo flexes his hand, trying to figure out if there's any sort of pain coming from his body.

When he felt none, he shakes his head.] Nope, feel fine.

[kissthegoddamncook]

[Kensei nodded.]

Let's find home now.

[His temple. They're going to find it now.]

[toremainbehind]

Sounds good.

[He's a bit curious as to how the temple is going to look like, but hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult to find.]

[kissthegoddamncook]

[He starts to walk, expecting to be followed. Again, not sure where he's going but he'll find it quickly.

And hopefully won't get lost, dammit.]

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo follows after him.

He does raise an eyebrow, though. He can only hope they both don't get lost.]

[kissthegoddamncook]

[He's good at not getting lost at least.

It's a little bit longer before they reach a diner, grey on the outside.]

...This is the place.

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo studies the diner.]

Doesn't seem too bad.

[Though, he wasn't expecting a diner to be the temple, if he were to be honest.]

[kissthegoddamncook]

Pretty basic.

[So it works.]

Look around. See if you find anything interesting.

[toremainbehind]

Alright.

[And off he goes to explore what the temple has to offer.

It'll take him a few minutes before he returns.]

[kissthegoddamncook]

[Kensei comes back to the entrance after a few minutes of looking around himself. It looks like a regular diner.

Are they missing something?]

See anything?

[toremainbehind]

Nothing out of the ordinary.

[A glance at the diner.]

It seems like a regular diner to me, though I did find some rooms upstairs.

[kissthegoddamncook]

Then this is the place.

[Nothing out of the ordinary, huh.]

The temple is a diner.

[toremainbehind]

[Eyebrow raise.]

That's interesting. Should we make ourselves at home then?
