Conflagrative Thesis

Kursten looks around the room trying to remember his bearings in the kitchen, but eventually locates the shelf Destiny refers to. Withdrawing a few dinner bowls, he holds one out to Destiny. "These, right?"

He can't help but feel a little put out, though, when he hears he has an extra fireproof flask. As inconvenient, and likely impossible, it would have been for him to do much in the way of research on the firemetal on his own time, it'd still have been something he might have considered...He knew Destiny didn't mean to leave him out of knowing she had an extra fireproof flask, but that did little to help his mood.

What did help, however, was the smell of the pasta and sauce now that it was fully prepared. "Thanks again for making food for us, Destiny! You need help with anything else?"

"Oh! Alright, then." Aurora laughs a little out of nervousness; she knows she's not the most graceful person ever. But it's just not shattering a flask, right? That shouldn't be too hard. "So, yeah. Only really need one sample to bring back, I'm pretty sure. As long as it's fine with you."

The scent of pasta rouses her to stand up. "And yes, thank you very much! Is there anything I can do to help out here?"

Destiny thought about it while she strained the pasta.

"Cheese!" she said finally. "There's a grater in the third drawer from the right and a big block in the fridge, and it's so good with bolognese!"

She beamed and took the bowl from Kursten when he offered it.

"Exactly that," she said happily. She filled it with a generous amount of pasta and equally generous dollops of sauce on top. She put it down on the table where Kursten had been sitting. "I hope you guys like this!"

Kursten smiles as he takes the plate, and after averting his eyes before he can visually devour every last noodle of the pasta turns back to Aurora.

"Now that we got most of the theory out of the way, I figure we should devote time after we dig in to experimentation. I have some data in the papers, but we'd need to have them verified with someone that has some academic standing."

He grins. "I'm thinking we could get this published pretty quickly, especially if we can get a good reading about the firemetal. I don't know how optimistic I should really be, but I'm super excited!"

"Hm, yes, I agree. The sooner we have some concrete conclusions, the better." As Aurora sits down to eat, she glances around. Clearly not the best place for fire-based experimentation. "I assume there's a place where we could safely perform some experiments? A-assuming it's okay with Destiny, of course."

"Experiment away!" Destiny chirped as she sat down with them, one bowl for her, another for Aurora.

"Just no vivisection, please," she added, "I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here really qualified to do that. Harry would help but... well, he says no more of those shenanigans in the house and we'd never be able to sterilise the backyard well enough. The backyard is fine for other experiments though!"

Kursten turns slightly green, and goes from shoveling the pasta into his mouth to merely poking it around slightly. "I..don't think that was what she had in mind..." A worrying thought comes to his mind. "Aurora, do you think there will be people at the Academy who'll want to perform those kinds of experiments?"

He sighs. "I almost wouldn't blame them if they did, considering that everything I've been able to come up with regarding the source of Destiny's powers has been hypothetical...if only there was a bit more to go on..."

It takes him until now to notice that Destiny is smiling same as always even with a topic he finds as somber as he does. Attempting to stop bringing down the mood, he forces a smile. "Uhh...well, but we'll get to that if it comes to it! I'm sure there's other things we can look into now!"

"Mm, thank you very much." Aurora smiles as she takes her bowl, but simply sets it down for a moment. Eating could wait a few seconds more. "There shouldn't be anyone that tries to conduct that sort of experiment on you, and all experiments on live subjects requires their consent. I mean, forcing subjects into inhumane experiments would..."

She trails off and laughs, before taking a bite of the pasta. "Well, anyways. The important thing is that it shouldn't be an issue."

Destiny did a happy wriggle as she dug in. Unlike the others, she was totally unfazed by the image of her being open while concious and probably unwilling.

"I'll probably comply with most things, honestly, even ones that hurt as long as they don't actually harm harm me," she said. "I don't mind being pushed a bit, I'm not that delicate. And it's for science!"

Kursten sighs and goes back to his food. Still, he looks up at Destiny, unable to keep a smile off his face. "You're a really strong person to think that way, Destiny. I don't know if I could do the same thing...though I might need to at some point." He frowns a bit, looking down at his bag.

"Well, anyway, we've got a long time and more tests to run before that. Aurora, is there anything else we can do to help you get this checked out? I'm all ears!" Things were coming together, and he couldn't help but get excited.
