[ Sebastian is definitely coming to the kitchen once he starts to smell smoke. It's like a conditioned reaction for him, considering the Phantomhive manor's "cook" has such a strong liking for explosives that he really can't be trusted with any sort of flame... He steps into the kitchen with a look of deep concern, and as Tsurumaru speaks to him, his attention is divided between introductions and the near-fire in the microwave?! ]

I—?

[ It's a very eloquent start, but with purpose, Sebastian starts to head over to collect towels and start a pot to filling with water. There's probably a fire extinguisher here somewhere, but he has no idea what that is, unfortunately. ]

Yes, I will do something about it! How did this even happen?

[gravesite]

[ in all honesty, almost no one in swordhaus even knows what a fire extinguisher is. their actual fire extinguisher has probably been sitting in its pretty glass casing for months, untouched as appliance after appliance bursts into flames.

because he's so used to ruining appliances and running away from the aftermath of cleaning them up, tsurumaru will first watch what he does, before moving to collect any spare towels that sebastian misses, hoping that doing so would be of some assistance — and explains the situation along the way. ]

Well, you see... I was making popcorn, but after I went through all the trouble of putting it in the microwave, I wondered if I could make it even crunchier.

[ the popcorn, he means. the microwave looks kind of crunchy now, though... it's crispy and well-done. ]

So I microwaved it for ten minutes instead of two, but then everything kind of went boom, and smoke started coming out, and... that's what happened.

I— No. Goodness, that is not how that works!

[ Why are so many people around him so bad at cooking? Sebastian really has to wonder this, but at the same time, it's something he'll have to meditate on later thanks to the sad state of the microwave. He opens up the door and tosses on the wet towel (since I forgot to mention that detail, whoops), trying to smother the flame. ]

Please at least soak those before throwing them in, lest the fire get worse...

[gravesite]

[ for a second, tsurumaru looks really tempted to just chuck a dry towel in there... but for once, he's going to make the more rational decision, heading over to the sink to carefully run his set of towels beneath the tap, wringing them out just enough to dampen them.

but instead of throwing them in as sebastian had, he's... clutching a wet towel in his hand, sticking his hand directly into the burning microwave in an attempt to pat down the fires himself. following directions and being safe is for chumps, anyway.

does it hurt? probably! so far, though, he looks just fine. ]

Like that?

[cutlery]

I—?!

[ what the heck tsurumaru... Sebastian looks concerned as they work on putting out the fire, and yet, he doesn't actually pull Tsurumaru's hand away. Between his own tolerance for flame and Finny's tolerance for pain in general, he's not quite assuming that it's affecting Tsurumaru as it might a human. ]

My goodness, does that not hurt?

[gravesite]

[ oh, sebastian's smart! which also means that tsurumaru's going to be a bit disappointed from not getting the reaction that he was looking for, reluctantly pulling his hand back out of the microwave and patting down the flames on his glove with a nearby damp towel. ]

I thought you'd be a little more surprised than that...

[ meanwhile, the microwave is still roasting into a crisp, but that's okay for now. regarding whether it hurts or not to just stick his hand directly into a fire, however — ]

Of course it does. I'll have to go to the repair room afterwards — scratches are fine and all, but burns kind of hurt if you leave them for too long, you know?
