What happens if both parents are Fire Elementals?
In that case I guess the parents have a real spark between them.

What happens if a Fire Elemental's offspring dies before they suck their parent's lifeforce awaycome of age?

We need to know... for science.

The worst part is that I feel like this is exactly what some of the higher-ups at the Court would say. Are you the Headmaster?

We need a twin study, for science.
One fire elemental marries another fire elemental, the other marries a sugar pill?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Tony continues to be actually decent at heart. I guess hating him is not an option anymore. He's still kind of a dick, but not, like, evil.

He's seen things, man.
I wonder if the tricky people suggesting this have anything to do with the robo-crow things. We never did find out their origin, right?

Or...Coyote. Cause ya know this is exactly the sort of "I wasn't technically lying" dick move that he'd pull. Troll god gonna troll.

This whole chapter has been.....damn. Talk about building up hate for a character, and then systematically breaking that character in such a way that you feel bad for hating them.

I'll quit hating him the minute he explains what justifies everything he's done since showing up, and it's better than "For her own good, to protect her from the vaguely-defined dangers of her heritage".

Oh, he definitely is despicable, which still doesn't make that stuff that happened to him any better.

Nono, I feel bad for him sure, but I don't feel bad for hating him.
