Stage fright, is what Jeff offers as way of explanation as to why Pyre looks so uncomfortable. Wanda for her part is not too convinced, mostly because if she had been announced as someone who looks like they're going to be burned alive, she would definitely looks rattled.
She only needs to breathe to know what that is. Gasoline. Something tells her that Jeff has clued in to that, too. Before she says anything, however, the man speaks.
"I will be reborn and rise as the phoenix!"
Her blood runs cold just as he strikes a match, setting himself on fire immediately. Screams break out in the tent, horrified gasps around them, people wanting to leave both shocked and frightened. Wanda stands, her eyes glued on the man who burns, a rise of red magic covering her hands as she considers her optionsβhow to help this man who is burning alive, caught in a pause between reacting and not doing anything, still not quite convinced that this isn't a trick but not convinced otherwise, either.
