Sometimes it comes in waves

Oh hell yeah, Kaija was the queen of charisma. The grumpy wolf complied with her request that he go first, which was only fair since he'd been the one to lead her here in the first place. Sure, she'd followed, but that wasn't the point. She let out a little victory cry that was cut short immediately as he scruffed her, carrying her across the bridge like an actual pup. The audacity. She grumbled and groaned but made little effort to confront him, because he hadn't said anything to her yet, so why would he start now?

What lay ahead of them on the other side was a cave that opened up to... more of the same. Lava, which looked dangerous as all fuck, which was flowing from the walls. There were some stones that sorta led across the lava pool, and a few paths around the edges that maybe were wide enough to walk on but Kaija wasn't sure. She was stupid and impulsive at times, but more than that she really, really liked being alive. Screw risking everything on some daredevil move, no matter how cool she'd look if she succeeded.

"That's a no from me, man," she started, shaking her head. "You killed it last time. Show me again how good of a guide you are," she encouraged him, using her charisma to convince him to lead the way.
