It had been a while since the incident at the bar and the wound on Burner's head had healed significantly. When his mother had seen his condition she'd forbade him from leaving home and made sure he got more than enough rest. It was only today that she'd finally relented and allowed him to go about his usual business of strolling around the city. He eased her fears by saying that he would be careful and try to stay out of trouble. Thus far it was going very well and he wanted to pat himself on the back. There had been several occasions already that had him fuming, but he'd managed to let it go.
The fire calgor whistled a light tune until from the corner of his eyes he saw someone. A flash back gripped him as his eyes landed on the crest on the calgor's shoulder. That crest...he'd seen it before. The smell of blood, scorched wood and skin. That very crest laying on his master's torn and bleeding body.
He staggered back and watched as the man headed down another path.

"Get back here!" Shizuo grabbed a door of a nearby house and pulled it off its hinges as the man he was yelling at ran out of fear. "You won't get away!" He threw the door in the direction missing the man by mere inches. Shizuo growled and chased after the man fists beginning to be engulfed in flames. He rounded a corner at full speed running into a stunned Burner. Shizuo flipped and landed in a heap. "Hey watch where, oh it's you again kid." He quickly stood up as the man he was chasing faded in the distance. "Dammit he got away." He mumbled under his breath. "You okay Burner?"

Burner didn't even care that he'd been knocked to the ground. Heck, he couldn't even remember being knocked to the ground. He was still looking at the spot the calgor had gone with a grim look on his face. He didn't hear a thing Shizuo said up until the last bit. Shaking himself out of his stupor and slowly standing up he looked at Shizuo. His usual mask going back on immediately."Yeah, I'm perfectly fine."

Shizuo was doubtful of Burner but decided it was none of his business. "Sure didn't look fine." He mumbled under his breath. As he spoke Shizuo snapped his fingers creating a small flame that hovered a few centimeters off of his finger. He pulled out a cigarette and lit quickly dissipating the flame with a swipe of his hand. "What brings you to this part of town?" Shizuo offered the kid a cigarette before he put away his pack.

He wanted to get away and chase after the guy, his fists clenched and he gritted his teeth.
"I was just taking a walk," he explained quickly before shaking his head at the offered cigarette.
"I've gotta go." Before much else could be said he headed off after the guy. It was probably a bad idea, heck it might not even be the guy, but he knew him. They had the same crest, so they had to be linked. He wouldn't confront him, not if he could help it, but he'd make sure he knew where his haunts were.

Shizuo knew that look all to well, something was about to go down and Burner was going to be at it's epicenter. He followed him making sure to keep his distance. He might no have known the kid for all to long, but he was still a kid. No matter how bad of a beating he could take. "I'm coming with you." Shizuo shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked. "You might need some help."

The boy about rounded on the man, but refrained. "Look, I'm not getting into any trouble. I just need to confirm something and then I'm outta here."

Shizuo refrained a growl from exiting his mouth. "Getting a little defensive for someone who's not about to get into trouble aren't you kid." He puffed out a cloud of smoke out of annoyance. "I have nothing better to do and this is my neighborhood so I might as well come with you."

"It's my nature," the teen muttered irritated. Seriously, he didn't want an audience. Glancing around he managed to catch the tail end of the man's cloak. Glancing at Shizuo he responded with, "Nothing better to do? How about you take a hike?"

"Sorry kid." Shizuo said taking a deep draft his cigarette. "It's my nature." He repeated the words Burner had just used with a puff of smoke. "You can fight me on this all you like, but I'm coming with you."

If looks could kill Burner would have annihilated Shizuo where he stood, but as it where they couldn't and the young fire calgor found that a pity. Following after his target he staggered back and hid behind a wall when he noticed the calgor was turning back around and looked right where he was. Letting out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding the boy waited a few seconds before even daring to check. Inching around the corner he could see that the cloaked figure had once more turned his back. If he could just see his face...
Then he turned suddenly again and Burner's eyes widened at who it was behind the cloak. A few flashes of a memory crossed his mind and he knew who this guy was. He'd attended a party his parents had thrown, though back then he did not have the emblem he carried now. Burner had been hiding around corners all that night sneaking food where he could and trying to stay out of the sight of the pesky nobles who very much liked to either pinch his cheeks in the case of the women, or try and marry of their daughter to him. Despite making himself scarce he remembered seeing the guy behind the cloak talking to his parents and master.

Shizuo hid beside Burner and looked around him carefully. "You recognize him kid?" He asked making sure to keep his voice low.

He nodded once and watched as the man disappeared into a shadowed doorway. Not good. Burner realized with growing frustration that he would not be able to simply waltz in there. Well he could, but that might end with his head getting smashed into something else. Taking a deep breath he walked out from behind his hiding spot and looked around the area. Glancing back he asked Shizuo, "You know anything about this place?"

"The doors come off their hinges real easily here." Shizuo tossed his cigarette in a nearby dumpster. "I know the general layout pretty well here to." He made his way to the door the man had just passed through. "Should we say hello? It's your call kid I'm just here along for the ride."

Walking closer to the door the boy pressed his ear against it. There were voices but he couldn't really discern what they were talking about. Well he could at least question the guy. "Sure, why not?"
