"Who?" Laur smiled at the tiny cute walking fires.
They had tiny feet and fire arms. Their head are dancing fire, circle black eyes, and no mouth.
"This is Udd,"-a walking red fire jumped up and down-"This is Ox," a walking pink fire jumped up.
"They're cute." Laur tried to touch them but Cyan warned her.
"They're gonna burn."
Laur stood up. "Tell me more about these creatures."
"Oh, i can assure you, it's going to be fun."

Laur yawned. "That was great."
"Are you sure? You're sleepy." Cyan's hair was on fire but she was a Red Mistser who is immune to fire.
Udd and Ox were hopping on her blonde hair.
Laur laughed at the sight. Even if Cyan had her face black, people would still think she's pretty.
She's out of this world. It was maybe, her pointy nose? or her bony cheekbones? or her natural plump lips? or her eyes that sparkled everytime?
Laur is not even sure about anything anymore.
"Udd, Ox. It's time to calm down." Cyan commanded. She probably noticed Laur's stare at her hair.
Udd and Ox did stopped and they jumped down to Cyan's hands.
"Now, where do we sleep?"
"Not in a bed. Obviously."
"Yeah. I should have made them a bed."
The two walking fires flew to Cyan's shoulders in which the fabric burned.
"What are they doing?"
"They're talking to me."
"What?!" Laur narrowed her eyes.
"You just said in your lecture that they can't talk."
"I know, this is the first time."
"Anyway, i forgot, what do you call them? In your lecture, you forgot the most important thing."
"They're called Functs."
Laur recalled the lecture she was just given.
Something about their emotions. If their fire is too big they're angry. If their fire is almost to going out they're sad.
Well, as she can see clearly. The red funct seems to be angry from its eyes and fire, which had reached the ceiling.
"Cyan, the ceiling's burning!" She panicked.
"Oh no! Udd said he's mad because there was no bed for them."
"That's why," Laur panickly filled a bucket with water.
Then, she remembered. Cyan said functs can handle water unless they're too cold.
She face palmed. This water was the coldest in the house.
"Udd!" Cyan shouted and the tall fire started to lower down. Udd was back to normal.
Or was he?
Udd's fire lowered and lowered. Now, clearly, he's upset.
"Sorry, Udd, for shouting at you. But you leave me no choice. If you continued, this house would've been on fire." Cyan stared at Udd.
Ox patted Udd who smiled at her back.
Then, Udd's fire got back to its normal size.
"He's fine." Cyan sighed and turned to Laur who was still in the sink.
But Laur was on the floor.
"Laur?"
