Daisy frowned and turned to look at Leo as he stared broodily into the flames. "Leo…why did you freak out earlier when I said to work your magic on the fire? You acted like you actually have fire magic."
He let out a heavy sigh. "Can I trust you?"
She was vaguely insulted but understood what it was like to not be able to trust anybody. "Have I let you down yet?"
"No."
Leo didn't say anything else so she figured she needed to do something to soften him up. "How about this? I'll tell you a secret of mine if you tell me what was up with your reaction. Does that seem fair?"
Daisy had to treat him like a child since he was one. This sort of coaxing method seemed like it might work. She had seen former foster parents use it with varying levels of success on certain kids she lived with but she figured it would be effective here knowing Leo.
