Simpler Times...

"Darien? Ohhhh Darien?" Claire shouts out loud.

You're behind a few giant hay barrels, playing with your blade, striking it against a piece of coal, trying to light a fire.

"Darien...what are you doing?" she questions

"Just watch Claire, I'm going to start a fire and it's going to be epic!!" you tell her

You continue to strike your blade against the rock, sparks flying into the tinder.

"Stop Darien. Mom and dad want us to come inside for dinner."

"Claire, it's just a fire, stop being so lame." you respond.

"I just don't want..."

*Chink chink chink* sparks start to fly all over the dried tinder bundle, it eventually lands a spark, which bursts into a flame.

"See, Claire!" you explain "I can create fire in this world and it's so amazing...so warm...so bright..so delightful and yet....sooooo, dangerous!" you continue "I don't need any oil lanterns or any dried bark, I can protect you and I on our own! Give me some dry branches and I'll keep us warm forever!" you smile at Claire.

"Oh Darien" she can't help but chuckle to herself "Darien, mom and dad will be so pissed off at you. Please, get rid of the flame and come to dinner or else bad things might happen!" she smirks at you.

"Mom and dad won't do anything..." you pause "I'm their first born male...I'm too important! I'm learning how to start a fire right now and soon enough I'll learn the best ways to farm crops!" you continue.

A few minutes go by as you and Claire continue to play with each other, joking back and forth...
