"Ignis! Jade miss Ignis!"
"Mm."
A little boy was rolling around on the sofa while holding a lizard-shaped flame with a swaying tail. If people saw this, they might think I was burning my child.
Honestly though, I missed my salamander too. We hadn't seen each other since we split into two teams--which was what? A month ago? While Ignis spent most time in the cave here, it was still easy to visit. But now...we had to be satisfied with this long-distance calling.
And although Ignis would never admit it outright, I knew the Salamander also missed us.
I told Jade to stop rolling around since he could fall, and sat down with Shwa in my arms. "How are you?"
The shadow flame crawled to my shoulder and peeked at the giggling baby who tried to reach out for the bright flame. "Bored," Ignis muttered.
