lol heads up if you try to make a candle w food coloring, the food coloring will just sink to the bottom of the glass, and when the flame eventually reaches the bottom all the food coloring will catch fire and become one giant tall flame that you cannot possibly blow out and the glass will start to crack and then you’ll throw your tea on it in a panic and then the extremely hot food coloring will boil and sizzle horribly and then the glass will shatter. please take my word on this lmfao.

[ don’t think about a tall flame hot enough to shatter the glass it is in don’t think about a tall flame hot enough to shatter the glass it is in. leslie is probably not going to be using food colouring anytime soon. ]

Are you okay? Did you avoid the glass shards? Were you able to put it out safely? Do you need to see a priest?

I mean to say see a witch with healing magic?

POOR LESLIE SUFFERS SO MUCH

[escardos]

I’m still learning my way around kitchens and crafts, but aren’t you supposed to smother oil fires with lids or sand instead of dousing them in water?

[escardos]

oh

This is why division of labor necessarily exists in a city-state. If you lack a capacity, you purchase from someone who possesses the requisite abilities.

Tch, were my vault here, I should have innumerable candles, enough that I would even spare one for so lowly and hapless a being as yourself. Call it a rare act of royal pity.

Mister King!

[ flat lights up a little at the sight of him. he’s so so majestic. says the weirdest stuff—almost as weird as his own. ]

Thank you so much for your pity and insults, but I don’t need it! This was an experiment! It’s always much more fun to make things instead of buying them, because I get to personalize it to my taste. Next time, I absolutely won’t fail!

[ok he didn't understand every last word of this, but he understood enough to have one question:]

where do you find this food coloring stuff?

[escardos]

stores have it! you can just buy it. they're good for making food into different colors...but not so good for candles.

[oathkeeper]

geeze, are you okay?! it sounds like you made a bomb by mistake instead of an actual candle?!

[escardos]

it seems like it...

i'm pretty good at doing that, it seems? it's not the first time something like that happens.

At least you didn't burn anything down.

You didn't, right?

[escardos]
