Twelve Years Earlier...Tommi and Sheren are playing at the edge of the Daggerford wall, where they've been hiding together all day. Their hands have brushed each other a few times over the course of the day, but now as twilight falls, their fingers are entwined and each is smiling privately to themselves. This is not the evening that they kiss for the first time, but it is a moment they both remember. The town constabulary were going around lighting torches on the main streets, a slow process that helps keep Daggerford safe, until the lamps run out. It's the same job Sheren's current team perform nightly, though she no longer has to take part. But back then, that night, hiding in the shadows holding hands, the two of them watched Old Miller struggle with a light, but it always going out. It was being extinguished by Tommi, who had always had the Gift, and could play with flames like this as a lark. Old Miller was struggling to fill the lamp, raise his torch, and as soon as it was lit, Tommi would twitch his nose and snuff it. The third time, Sheren laughed aloud. A warm laugh and a squeeze of his hand, and that's the bit Tommi remembers best. Miller blustered and chased them, and who knows if he finished his tasks that night. It had been mean to pick on them, but  Tommi had made Sheren laugh, and she was still holding his hand, as she pulled him into Jyn's house, where Tommi's mother made them tea.The Present.Tommi stands on the bridge, watching the goblins trying to light the bridge, and all he can think to do is to snuff out the flames. He'll run and dodge, but for now, he starts with the biggest flame he can see, and wonders if he can frustrate the goblins by snuffing their flames the same way he did Old Miller all those years ago. Tommi twitched his nose.[ooc]Since there's no one to help with sneak attack, case Druidcraft, to start extinguishing fires --- the spell works on anything up to a small campfire.  Perhaps the goblins aren't that far along. move and (bonus) dodge to keep out of the way.[/ooc]</blockquote>
