Fire's always been a little fascinating to Ilde, but in the same way that a long, harsh winter is fascinating to her; clean destruction, inasmuch as that isn't an oxymoron, and something new.

But that's not what she's thinking about, currently: "She's good with people," she says, in a blithe understatement of the case.
