This crush thing could... really make things complicated, couldn't it.
"I don't know," he sighed, scratching his head as he tried to think. "I don't know if I want to find out if she like likes me, cos if she doesn't... it would hurt, you know? To find out." Oh. Oh he was just the king of tact today. Putting one hand over his face, Raiden groaned. He was just... so stupid, wasn't he. "I mean... that is..." Different subject... go back to the candy thing. "I think I know what you mean with that candy thing now though... kind of. I dunno if it's the same thing, though... because..."
He sighed and tried to think. How did he explain this?
"With you... everything's fire, like I said before. Like... dangerous and heat and mysterious... like you could destroy everything if you wanted to, you could burn it all down in an instant with just one touch, but you don't, because someone might come along to put it out." He looked at her. "And with her... it's like lightning. Everything's tingles and zaps and it feels just as dangerous but... somehow it doesn't, and it's less mysterious because there's always some warning... a storm before it hits, you know?"
Possibly it felt less dangerous because Cela had a boyfriend that could kill him, whereas Kiri didn't? Maybe?
"I've never liked anyone that hasn't liked me back." Celandine answered, cocking her head consideringly. She twisted a strand of hair about her finger and looked at him.
"I'm fire?" So... she consumed things and burned things but also... warmed things? And... err... cooked things? So something had to fuel her right? And... contain her?
But lightning... well that made her think of Cope. Not cos he was lightning to her, but because lightning was his boggart and all. "Lightning is more dangerous than fire." Cela told him, "With fire, you might get burnt but with a burn comes a lesson, with lightning... they say it never strikes twice but if it hits you, you'll never forget it."
Aaaand Celandine wasn't intending to be deep or anything, but if it meant something for Raiden, then that was all good.
