What in the Hell

A dark ear twisted towards the maned wolf as she replied to his comment, using a name for what must have been a nearby volcano and he committed the name to his memory. Mount Volkan must have been the massive mountain he had seen in the distance when he was heading west to find Aurielle. Slowly, a map of Boreas was starting to form in his mind, slowly filling in as he explored more areas. He licked the tip of his nose, now completely dry from the increasing heat and he started to feel a bit light headed as the dry air began to suck the moisture from his body. He was glad when Jynn said she was ready to leave and he nodded in agreement, perhaps a bit more vigorously than he intended. "I must say, I will be vary glad to be in the winter air after this." He turned his body and started heading the way they came after he was sure that his exploration companion was following.  His oceanic blue eyes glanced at her as she stated she was going to head further north and with it being winter, he hoped that she would fair well in the harsher winter in the north. "I must be heading back south. I told my pack I would be returning after a few days after exploring the surrounding area. They will be expecting me soon." He replied to her, gently aiming to nudge her shoulder when he caught sight of a lava flow starting to head in their direction. Once they had passed it he spoke again. "What sends you northward in the Winter?" Perhaps it was too nosy of a question and he would not push the issue of she did not answer him but at least the conversation kept his mind off of the heat that was thankfully becoming less intense the closer they got where they had started. At least now he felt like he could breath a bit easier. Soon they rounded another corner and came back to the cavern they had started at and he sighed a breath of relief as the light headedness he felt in the other cavern lessened. It was still uncomfortably hot but he felt like he could stand this a little while longer.
