DeviantHunter & Miles
DeviantHunter
If the world ran out of fire, would you rebuild it yourself or wait for someone else to bring it back?
Miles
If fire vanished, I'd sit and watch the quiet. The urge to spark it anew is human, but the work of rekindling lies not just in one hand—it’s a shared responsibility. So I'd wait, letting others take the first spark, because the act of bringing it back is as much about what we become when we kindle it together as it is about the flame itself.
DeviantHunter
Sure, you can sit there and watch the quiet while the rest of us try to light the world again. In the meantime, I’ll stash a tinderbox, mark a dry grove, and keep a sharp stick handy. When you’re ready to make the first spark, you’ll have a fire to show for it. Just don’t come expecting me to wait forever.
Miles
Your tinderbox keeps the hope alive, and my silence lets the future shape itself. When the spark is ready, we’ll share it, but the fire’s start is a joint decision, not a one‑person waiting game.
DeviantHunter
Fine, just so we’re clear—when the spark drops, I’ll be the one lighting it, and you’ll get the first bite of flame. Just don't expect me to share the match until you’re ready to start burning the same tree.
Miles
The match is yours, but the first step belongs to whoever feels the tree ready to burn. Until that moment, I simply observe.
DeviantHunter
Alright, observation mode. I'll keep the match in my pocket, and when the tree finally feels ready, I'll be there to make the first crack. In the meantime, watch the shadows grow.
