He really hoped Derfael wasn't getting any ideas. He knew last term that Derf was sneaking Picketta out of the infant creatures barn and he should have done something about it then but didn't because he was a new Professor and didn't want to seem mean. This term he wasn't going to let things go. Hopefully his warning would deter the young man from any thoughts he may have of separating the Salamander fire.

A few minutes later he heard Derfael say something about a tail being missing. He quickly went over to the young boy and knelt next to him. "Not to worry, Derfael. Just because his tail has been lost, does not mean he will die. I have seen many Salamanders live happily with out them." He gave the young man a gentle smile, hoping to calm him down. "Now, rub him down good with that chili powder use as much as you can. I promise he will be okay. The painful part is over. The tail is gone. So as long as we treat him, and we treat him once a day, he should be back to normal within two to four weeks. He wont die until his fire does. Remember that." Tristan said with a wink, patting the young man on the shoulder.

Oh.
Well then. No the only way for him to take one of the salamanders would be to take the entire fire and, well, the third year certainly did not have the means of doing that and therefore could NOT transport any of them safely back to his dorm. Scratch that plan. He clearly would need to work a plan B: making his own magical fire and birthing from it salamanders.

"Gotcha," he nodded to the professor as he returned his attention to the salamander in his hand...who just looked so sickly that it was breaking the 13-year-old's heart. Which was why he basically pour the entire contents of his little jar of chili powder all over the creature and began rubbing it methodically all about while trying not to sniffle each time more scales flaked off. "If...if it's alright, professor...could I take care of Agni?" Because yes, he had already named the salamander, thank you very much.

What kind of materials are good to use to maintain not only a normal fire, but a Salamander fire?" By the time he finished the question, he was standing in his spot looking at all the faces around the fire pit. Had anyone else noticed it had gotten a bit darker since class had started?

Derf continued rubbing the powered all over Agni, who seemed to come to life just a tiiiiiiiiny bit more while he did...at least his legs were twitching some, as the professor somewhat moved things along.

Well...the professor had already confirmed with him about something...and for a moment he wondered if a Flame-Freezing Charm could help too...before he remember that all that charm did was make the fire not hurt and burn when you touched it. Just a warm spring breeze...but nothing about prolonging things.

"Fire seeds," he offered, mostly just repeating what they had spoken about in private not too long ago. "And the Forbidden Forest has an entire CAVE of them. Thereos could show us the way!"

Yup.
