"Eh?" Rin blinked a few times before lowering his head. That was certainly a question he'd never heard before. "Uh...well, they're always blue." Could other pyros change their flame colours? He didn't know if that was possible.

[firedragonslayer]

"Ah damn. And here I thought you were able to change their colors."

He huffs, almost disappointed at the possibility of seeing (and possibly tasting) a whole variety of fires. He pauses after that thought, taking a moment to look Rin over, as if appraising him. After a moment, he leans in, his tone and manner almost serious.

"How do blue flames taste?"

[devilsfire]

"I didn't know people could do that."

The sudden violation of space left Rin leaning away a bit. And the question, well it pretty much got the most what the fuck face he could muster. "Taste? Like?" Who the hell eats fire?!

[firedragonslayer]

"Yep. I've never eaten a blue flame before, so I thought you would know."

The reaction wasn't what he was expecting at all. The screwed up look, the shift in distance between them, and the change in tone all cause Natsu to blink curiously for a moment. He had always lacked a certain level of tact, but having met another fire user, however different their flames may have been, he seemed to let his excitement get the better of him.

"Haven't you ever eaten fire before?"

[devilsfire]

Rin simply continued to stare in disbelief. He couldn't imagine someone eating fire. How does that even work?

"No!"

[firedragonslayer]

He scoffs, looking away as he shaking his head.

"Tch. You're a strange one, aren't you?"

[devilsfire]

"Me? Strange? I'm not the one eating fire! You don't eat fire! It has no nothing of value in it!" Fire was only good for cooking and burning things.

[firedragonslayer]

Natsu just crosses his arms, looks at Rin, and in a rather blunt and as-a-matter-of-fact tone says--

"What the hell are you talking about? Of course I eat fire. Why else would I ask how blue flames tasted?"

[devilsfire]

"Ain't normal, dude!" The only response Rin can come up with. And considering everyone in the school isn't normal, that's got to say something.

[firedragonslayer]

"Normal?" He just stares at Rin, as if that was the strangest thing said this entire conversation. "I think you're in the wrong place if you're looking for normal, Blue."

[devilsfire]

Mostly because it was the strangest thing said during the entire conversation. "You know what I mean!"

[firedragonslayer]

Natsu stares at Rin for a moment longer, then begins to laugh, apparently amused by the other young man's reaction.

"This place has been pretty amazing so far."

He raises a hand toward Rin, actually taking the time to greet him properly this time.

"I hope I get the chance to meet more people like you."
