for our safety

Eliphas had no shame in giving his name, how else would his fame spread? If he was going to start building wealth by trading his potions the public needed to know his name. He also needed the Volcano to cease its raining fire and death. The thoughts were long gone as the woman spoke, now to be known as Rose. She was a newcomer to these lands as well, she wouldn’t know much more than he did.

”I’ve only just arrived on this island. It seemed safer to stay after the volcano.” He hadn’t stepped foot on the mainland, he was debating about it when the volcano erupted. Then he’d been attacked by the bear… The she wolf opposite him likely couldn’t smell Zola on him. The scent of ash was everywhere, even here so far away from ground zero. ”Judging from the ash and smoke clouds above us,” Eliphas couldn’t really see much of the lands past the coastal mountains. ”Some of the area would probably be about as safe as we are here.”

Not that they could call the ‘dormant’ volcano they scaled very safe. The activity of the other volcano could disturb this one’s slumber if they were unlucky enough. ”Or maybe even safer.” Eliphas added as his dual toned gaze was shifted to the peak of the mountain. There hadn’t seemed to be any quakes starting beneath his paws. Most of it had been aftershocks from the problem child. ”I won’t be lingering for much longer.” Eliphas didn’t go into specifics here, no need to reveal more of his hand.

The Klein descendent remained polite and kind in his words and motions as they spoke, ”Did you come this way from the east?” He asked curiously back, she said that she’d been disrupted by the eruption, had she fled an easterly land?
