Focusing on the angle of his strike he continued working away until at last a series of sparks landed on the kindling and the fire took hold. It grew and grew until it blossomed into a beautiful fire. Aureus glanced at Eliphas, watching how the fire illuminated the other mans face, casting a gorgeous glow that fixed him in Aureus' sight.

Aureus blinked as he realized he was staring and he quickly looked around as if taking in the scenery before turning back to the other man. "Well, there we go, it looks like it should be going good for awhile. So, what made you decide to practice healing?"
