Valo eases up, since Matt won't take the same approach. So he opens his eyes, relaxing, when -

"SON OF A-!!"

He's incredibly surprised by that, and Matt might feel a huge sudden heat wave wash over the immediate area. The pot of oil bursts into flames, and Valo stumbles backward in response. His hand is also now on fire!

Matt backs the hell up!

"Sorry!"

Valo waves his arm frantically to get the fire to go out, but it doesn't! The oil is also very clearly lit on its own, so... Mission accomplished, in a sense.

"Crap man, that hurts!"

He's clearly more concerned with the dislocated finger, since his body temperature just increases to match the fire.

"I can fix it, but put that out!" Matt kind of hovers around him, not eager to get burned!

Valo stifles the arm with his shirt, and the flame-retardant material seems to put the fire out. He waits a moment, then releases his arm, and then -

"OH CRAP I DID IT! YOU DID - WE DID IT! AUTOIGNITION!"

The arm is still on fire due to the high temperature, so Valo just keeps stifling it and trying to cool himself again. He's much too excited, though.

"All I have to do is break your finger!"

High five!

Valo high-fives! Then he cries out in pain and falls to his knees! This isn't going so well!

Matt grabs the hand and finger and resets it! It'll probably hurt!

Valo groans, temperature fluctuating violently as the finger is reset. His face hits the floor, and he just coughs and wheezes for a few seconds. Finally, he pulls his arm out of his shirt, and thankfully it's not on fire.

"Aaaagggghhhhh," he continues groaning, before flopping over onto his back. He's rapidly trying to cool down to deal with the oil fire.

"I almost prefer getting impaled..!"

"I still think this was better than shooting you."

He looks around, now hoping no one watches the video feed of this training. Might not look great to be seen drowning and breaking a students finger.

"I'm just saying it under stress. I'm glad you didn't shoot me."

As he settles down, Valo is finally cold enough to be able to affect the temperature of the oil, so he stumbles over to it and sinks his hand inside. It takes a while, but the fires go out.

"I have a feeling your training experiences aren't always this chaotic," he laughs.

"The last one I did an animal boy tried to rip out my throat. The one before that we accidentally summoned a robot from another dimension that blew a hole through my chest..."

There may be a pattern here.

"What the - are you - you're kidding, right?"

That definitely seems to have calmed Valo down enough.

"So, you're a magnet for bad chaos. I'm curious how you 'accidentally summon a robot from another dimension', too, but the hole through the chest sounds bad enough without having to explain it."

Valo keeps laughing, and he starts putting his stuff away.

"Sorry for adding to the list, Mr. Stevenson."

Matt starts to laugh, despite himself.

"You're beginning to make me feel like I'm the problem..."

"It could just be some side-effect to your power. Inherent bad luck, or something." Valo grins, putting the rocks away and now just holding the pot of oil in his hands.

"I hope the misfortune doesn't carry onto things outside of training. That's the point where I'd get genuinely concerned.

"Ha..."

Now he looks worried!

Valo almost drops the pot.

"You're kidding me right now."

Valo just chuckles, shrugging.

"Maybe I don't need to. Let me repay you for helping me out later, yeah? Maybe there can be one thing that isn't absolute mayhem in your life one of these days."

He arches an eyebrow! No student has offered anything like that, save for maybe Murdoch who just likes to hang out.

"You don't have to do anything like that...!"

"I know I don't, that's why I started the request off with 'let me,' or why it's a request in the first place."

Valo shrugs. He figures it might be awkward, especially because these two don't know each other, but it's the least he can do.

"Nothing at all, considering I asked it out of the blue."

Valo shrugs.

"Lunch, on me. That's the best I got without knowing anything about you, sir."

He chuckles, putting his hand back on his shoulder.

"How about you pick out a place, I'll buy. We'll call it even seeing as I make a salary here and you don't."

"That sounds a little funny, don't you think? 'Here, I'll teach you control, and to make it up to you I'll buy you lunch.' Win-win for me, but nah, I owe you this, this one time."
