Bright Flame × Thick Loam

Relationship · feeding cycle, Fire feeds Earth (Bright Flame's heat caught by Thick Loam).

Portrait · Bright Flame burns hard and often burns empty, and Thick Loam is exactly the ground that can catch that heat, settling the fire's warmth into something solid so it no longer burns for nothing. Fire brings the ground heat and momentum; Earth gives the fire an unhurried place to land.

Feeding view (Fire to Earth) · what they give is heat and a starting push, keeping that steady ground from getting too stuffy. Their hot-and-cold rhythm robs Earth of security, so when they give, they have to make the other believe it isn't a passing flare.

Fed view (Earth to Fire) · they can catch the other's heat and settle it into results, but shouldn't quietly carry the bottom until they're treated as the background. When it's time to say "I need to be seen too," say it.

How they work · (1) Fire promises smaller and delivers, so Earth dares to trust. (2) Earth says out loud "here's what I caught," so Fire knows whether its heat burned for nothing. (3) Fire lights, Earth keeps warm, and they don't grab at each other's job.

Reverse check · did Earth last name its need before it couldn't hold on, or after?
