Shining always had an issue with fire. It hadn't been evident in the past, because he could mentally fight off the reminders of what fire was capable of. He had learned to control it, had disciplined himself to only use it when necessary. But now, that mental fortitude and control was gone. The nightmares of past mistakes were now free to haunt him at every opportunity. They had done so during the fire outbreak in the basement over a week prior. And now, the painful reminders would have another shot.
He walked back into the Grand Circle, his avian companion perched on his back, just in time to witness a rather... unsettling scene. Roy held down a stranger with a paw on their head. What was said didn't really cross his mind, because his attention had focused completely on the little spark of fire next to Roy's claws. Shining's eyes went a little wide, and Tabitha sensed the unease growing within her feline friend. "No... Bad bad bad, not again..." He paced forward a bit until he was right beside Roy, trying to get his attention with a small headbutt to the shoulder.
"Don't hurt. Won't let you."
