The Hothead and the Reckless

It was early in the morning, and Chevreuse had awoken from her slumber. "Arr, nothing like a good night's sleep to make ya feel energized" she said. "Oi, Amber, what were those things you wanted to tell me about again?" "Oh right, I forgot about that" Amber said, as she was a little tired herself. "Ok, you know what Pyros are?" she asked. "Can't say I ever heard of 'em" responded Chevreuse. "Well the Pyros are one of the seven elements that are present in this world, it revolves around fire and the source for our attacks" "So like can you change from being a Pyro to something else?" "Unfortunately you can not, if you have the Pyro seal, you can't use any other attacks besides that" said Amber. "That's why some of our former members left, they wanted to be experimental, but just couldn't" she said mournfully. "Oh my, well I don't know if I want to be a Pyro or not, you think I should take that risk?" asked Chevreuse. "Only if you're ready, which I don't think you are yet" "You see, Chevreuse in order to get the Pyro seal, you have to prove your bravery, resilience, courage, and commitment to helping others" "That sounds like a lot, but I'll think I can take it" said Chevreuse. "What's me first command, Amber" "Well I don't have any more jobs for you, everyone else is busy doing something" "Bennett's fixing your ship, Klee's handling the papers, and Yoimiya doesn't do anything but sit on her butt and lay around" Amber said while looking at Yoimiya detestably. "Hey I could work, I'm just waiting until I could get a job that wouldn't mess up my beautiful hair" Amber just rolled her eyes. "What about the other two lasses?" Chevreuse asked. "Huh, you mean Xiangling and Hu Tao?" said Amber. "Yes, the two that are standing behind you looking all googly-eyed" "Oh right, alright you two, ever since that storm came around, it made the temperature drop, I need you to collect some firewood to keep us warm" "Come on, Amber, you could've gave us something harder" Xiangling said pretty boastfully. "Typical Xiangling, always trying to push herself into doing the most because she's the strongest" Hu Tao remarked. "Listen Hu Tao, promise me that you won't pull any pranks on Xiangling and ruin the mission, ok?" said Amber sternly. "I don't make promises that I can't keep" said Hu Tao playfully while crossing her fingers behind her back. "Fair enough" said Amber, so the two went away to collect some wood. "So all I can do is just sit here and wait til tomorrow for me first job?" "That's what is seems like" replied Amber. So Chevreuse just went back into her tent to rest. Meanwhile Xiangling and Hu Tao were gathering their firewood. "You're awfully quiet, Hu Tao, I don't know if that's a good or bad thing" Hu Tao though of a good prank to pull on Xiangling. "You know, Xiangling, all this work is making me a little thirsty, can you fetch me some water please?" "Sure I guess" responded Xiangling as she went to get Hu Tao some water. So Hu Tao took all of Xiangling's wood and hid it in a nearby bush. "I can't wait to see the look on her face when finds out that her wood is gone, it'll be hilarious" she said. She wasn't wrong though, cause once Xiangling returned with the water, she looked both angry and confused. "What the, where'd my wood?" Then she looked at Hu Tao. "Where's my wood, kid?" Hu Tao tried to act surprised. "I don't know, I was gathering my own wood when I looked and saw that your wood was missing" "My god, alright it's not that bad, I need to figure out who or what stole my wood" "It's just wood, Xiangling, you can borrow mines if you want" said Hu Tao. "You don't have enough wood, therefore we can't keep the fire lasting longer" "Well, Xiangling, I do have one more thing to say" "Which is?" "You've been pranked!" Hu Tao said while imitating fanfare. "You got to be kidding me" said Xiangling. "The wood was right here at this nearby bush, I just wanted to see your reaction, and well I was not disappointed" "Ha ha ha, give me that" Xiangling said sarcastically while taking her wood back. When the girls returned with the wood, Amber started the fire. "You do realize that we can shoot fire from our fingertips, right" "Yeah, but we choose not to" said Hu Tao. "So did you complete the mission successfully?" asked Amber. "For the most part, yeah" responded Xiangling. Then Hu Tao went and told Klee about the prank she pulled. "You know, Hu Tao, I would personally just complete the mission instead of wasting my time pulling a prank" said Klee. "I know, but you just gotta add fun in these sometimes" "Says you" responded Klee, but Hu Tao didn't hear what she said, as she went fast asleep while having a smile on her face.
