[Mako's onto a winner with that sort of thinking. He can put that into a logic he can work with. Like his leg, okay.
He's nothing if not a good student. He does listen to everything Mako has to say to him, filing it away in that big brain of his. He watches Mako's movements with the flame, snuffing it out and bringing it back like it was nothing. Varian's experience so far has been panicked mistakes. He never meant for any of his fire to happen, it just did- wild and uncontrolled, and that's exactly the problem he doesn't want to have to deal with. ]
Yeah, that makes sense. So instead of expending energy to walk or climb or talk or...well, anything, you're expending it on creating and controlling elemental forces?
[He's genuinely not trying to be a smart ass about it, and that's evident in his tone. He's just making sense of what Mako says to him in the only way he knows how. If he can science enough at this maybe it'll stop making him want to crawl out of his own skin.]
