Aw shit, here we go again

Aha, victory was his! Bounding from rock to rock had been the key to success, and with enough speed and balance Alastor was able to reach the other side unscathed and also triumphant. Grinning from ear to ear, he turned to make sure his guide had made it as well, and of course he had, looking as unimpressed as ever. Alastor gave a dramatic harrumph and shook his head. "You're just jealous I won," he teased the otherwise impassive brute with him. Some people were just no fun... Ah well, moving on!

The next challenge the pair of wolves came across was crossing a lava moat to a flat piece of terrain surrounded by the molten rock. It almost looked like it was floating in a lake of lava, it was quite impressive! However, there seemed to be no discernible way of actually crossing the deadly magma to get to the platform. Hmm... curious. Alastor pondered their situation for a moment, looking this way and that for any smart way to get over the lava and coming up empty-handed. Dark eyes turned to his companion, who was still silently scowling at his side. "Well, I came up with the ideas for the last two obstacles. Do you have any bright ideas?" He cocked his head curiously to one side. This borzoi seemed so unfazed by their environment, surely he must be familiar with it, right?
