Then I let the bar cool down and, while Ruby follows me, I go back to camp and pick up my weapons. Then we go back to the big cavern. This time, as we enter, I start following the wall on the right. As before, I take my time and count my steps so I can accurately update the map.
Suddenly Ruby exclaims and darts off through the foliage to our left. I quickly turn and follow her, not wanting to get separated. I find her kneeling in front of a bush that is covered with so many red flowers it looks like it's on fire.
Ruby says "Isn't it beautiful?"
"It is, but you like it because it looks like it's on fire."
Ruby says "So what?"
She reaches out to gently touch one of the flowers and, as she touches it, it turns blue like her hair. Then, in a domino effect, all the flowers on the bush also change color. Now the bush appears to be covered in blue flames.
Ruby smiles and says, "Wow, it reacted to my touch!"
"Yes, I admit I wasn't expecting it."
