[she still doesn't believe him even though a small part of her is telling her that she should and that the boy is telling the absolute truth because no one is crazy enough to go up to a goddess and lie to them about their child]
Enter but if you try anything funny, there will be nothing left of you but ashes.
[she lets ethan go and turns around to go back inside, looking for a robe to cover herself with]
[ Some people probably are, but not many. Ethan certainly isn't! He's bold in many ways, but he's generally not suicidal.
He steps inside and stares at a wall in the meantime while she makes herself more presentable, wishing he'd never had this experience. ]
It's not a good threat when you can't burn me. I mean... I'd tell you to try it as proof of who I am, but then I'd end up naked, and I really don't want to go down that road.
[ Ah... well that's unfortunate. He did just say she could burn him, but he doesn't really want to be set ablaze right now.
So Ethan lifts a hand to more or less "catch" the fire, letting it engulf his arm. For a second it looks bad, really bad, but then the fire seems to be "absorbed" into his skin, leaving the tattered and charred remains of his shirt sleeve and a completely unblemished arm.

I don't have a son!
[also, nope. instead, mama dearest is going to move closer to grab ethan's chin to force him to look at her]
Who are you really?

Your son! I came through a distortion in time from the future!
[ A big sigh. ]
Mom, please put on something else. I can't talk to you while you look like that.

He doesn't look impressed. ]
Seriously, mom?
