Fire?

[Ask him slow, like he's a dumb himbo too focused on getting his hair softly petted.]

[Okay, pausing in the hair petting.]

Or . . . firefighters. [Well, his face screws up at that, because he doesn't have that same knowledge, so it can't be that.] Something like that. That we both know. I've been thinking about it - I can't think of anything else we wouldn't notice.

Ah! That's really smart, Lio! Ask me some tough questions about fire, maybe, and I'll ask you some tough firefighting questions, and we'll see!

Okay - what was the first organized fire department in America?

[BLANK.]

I have no idea.

[God, okay, thinking of a fire fact . . . ]

Ah. Can you start a fire with ice?

It was the Union Fire Company, the volunteer fire department which was founded by Ben Franklin! Though the idea of volunteer fire fighters was something most countries had even before then. But it wasn't usually as organized, except in Japan!

[Just explaining this all to Lio even though it's clearly not relevant. Then, considering Lio's question.]

Oh! Yes, you can! But I don't think I knew that before!

Correct. You can make a, ah, lens. I've done it before, you know.

[Galo . . . . . . . . your irrelevant facts are cute. Kissing him, because he's kind of relieved that Galo seems to know the facts. Good enough for him. Pulling back long enough to spit out his own fact:]

Most flame is yellow because of soot. A blue flame usually appears near a purer source of flame - it is not burning impurities in the air.

Mm! That's right!

[Kissing him right back, in awe of how clever Lio is.]

You figured it out, Lio. I'm so glad.

[Going back to petting through his hair, staying leaning close against him - sighing out in relief.]

I just want you to be safe.

I'm going to be safe. And I'm gonna keep you safe, too. I keep telling you that!

[There's no bite to what he says, though.]
