Arthur's HeatWaves had broken out. While this wasn't the first time, they were spurning out of control, spilling out in uncontrolled torrents and raising the temperature of everything around them.
Conrad seemed surprised by the sheer amount of heat the prince was giving off… and so was Arthur.
In recoil to the surprise, the prince hurriedly pulled the waves back in, hoping he'd not caused a scene. Phoenixes were very sensitive to HeatWaves…
Where humans would go, 'It's really hot today!', phoenixes would go, 'Who is that? What is that? Are we under attack by dragons? Maybe the king's scolding the Second Prince again.'
The flame essence obediently retreated to the depths of Arthur's core, erasing the menacing aura he'd been giving off and returning the East Turret's atmosphere back to its average temperature.
The cool breeze of the late evening swept the heated air away almost immediately.
