Playing With Fire

It was certainly hot so close to the Raging Volcano. And probably not too safe for a normal human such as Almyra, but that was part of the adventure, really. Still, she was quite comfortable, despite the heat. One did not survive the scorching deserts of her homeland without having learned to adapt to such a thing. The enchanted cloak she wore at nearly all times didn't hurt things either. So Almyra walked along, playing a bit even, jumping among the rocks, but being careful to avoid any lava that might be in the area. She picked up a small piece of obsidian to keep. It was a pretty rock, jet-black and shiny. She sat down on a boulder, surveying the scene. There wasn't much around really, as it has all been destroyed by lava flows and such coming from the volcano. There was something fascinating about it though. Rocks that had not seen the sun for probably millions of years. The prospect of new life returning eventually, after the volcano goes extinct. She smiled and relaxed as she thought of such things.

Nuria had finally been in a place that suited her. She wald around the hot place that was the volcanoe, and for once smiled. It was pretty boring but it felt good to be in a place that was warm and nice, and she didn't have to burn anything down too achieve that. "That hits the spot..." She started walking around, looking for other flame spirits like her, not to find any. "I guess no one else likes it here. Whatevs." She shrugged her shoulders and then lay down on the hot ground, staring at the sky. Naturally, her hair defied the rest of her body so it looked like it covered her face, and the spirit just lay there in peace, despite the slite boredom that for once she didn't mind.

Almyra noticed someone walking as she observed the scene, though this person was different than most. They glowed like a fire, and seemed to be made of it. Well that was quite interesting indeed. Almyra decided that she should meet this person as she watched the figure lie down on the ground. She hopped off her rock and walked over to her, her boots crunching a bit in the volcanic gravel. Nuria would be able to hear her coming from a fair distance away. Should the spirit look at Almyra, she would wave in a friendly manner and continue approaching until she was within ten feet or so. She gave the other woman a smile and simple "Hello." In greeting.

Nuria opened her eyes. "Uh... 'Sup?" She said awkwardly as she sat up. A person, a human at that. She realized with the heat up here not many people would be able to stand it. "What is a human like you doing up here? You don't want me to teach you fire magic, do you?" She narrowed her eyes, signalling distrust. A random person walks up to you and greets you and disturbs your peace, DEFINITELY someone to trust. Nuria stood up and took a step back, then readied herself for anything. Nuria didn't wanna fight on such a peaceful day, but she was so paranoid sometimes it is inevitable.

Almyra tilted her head. A bit confused at Neria. "Not really. I don't have interest in learning fire magic right now. You just seemed interesting and I wanted to talk." She smiled at her in a friendly manner. Everything about her manner and body language would show that she just wanted to talk to the pretty fire girl. "I also just came here to explore." She looked around. "It's pretty up here."

Nuria saw how this girl ment no harm, but she couldn't help but feel disgusted with how nice she was being. She sat back down, then lay on the ground and her hair went over her eyes again. "'Snot so pretty up here, nor is it worth any exploration. What's so interesting about me anyway?" It was evident that Nuria was serious about her peace, with all the combat, jobs, and a lot of everything she's been doing lately she never really got this time. Then another person takes it away.

"Maybe not to you. Lots of things are pretty for me that people don't normally think are pretty." She said, "I just see things differently." She sat down where she was standing and smiled to Nuria. "People are interesting, and you're the only person here. You also seem different from most people, so that makes you more interesting. You're also pretty." She said, still smiling up at the person. "You don't seem very happy to talk though. I'll leave you alone if you want."

"No you won't. You're obviously trying to guilt trip me. Even if I did say "then go away" you'd still stay, you're just trying to get me to feel all mushy inside because I am being "mean" or whatever. Also sucking up to me won't work either." Nuria smiled, then let out a small chuckle. "But since I'm bored what the hell? I've got nothing else to do and you're the only one available to talk to. So... yeah." Nuria sat up and looked at Almyra, waiting for whatever it was she'd say next.

Almyra tilted her head in confusion. She wasn't trying to guild the woman into talking or anything. Sure, she wanted to talk to her, but not if the girl didn't want to talk. It wasn't fun talking with people who didn't want to. Still, she seemed willing to. "Are you from this place?" She asked her, looking around. It certainly fit her. "I'm Almyra. What is your name?" She shifted a bit. She wasn't very good at talking, despite how much she enjoyed it.

Nuria looked around, a volcano? She'd probably see a few earth elementals who took up magma instead of average rock, but not any true fire elementals. "Nah, honestly i don't know where I'm from. I was born from a fire somewhere. Where that "somewhere" is, I dunno. Name's Nuria, by the way. What's someone like you doin' up here?" Nuria studied Almyra intently, perhaps she was a fire mage? A magma mage? Otherwise she had no idea why someone like her would be up here in this heat.

"Oh. Interesting. It's nice to meet you, Nuria." She replied. She looked around a bit more. It was pretty up here. She checked to make sure there was no lava moving towards the two either. It probably wouldn't harm Nuria at all, but she certainly wouldn't want to get too close. She smiled at the elemental's question. "Exploring. Volcanoes are interesting." She looked up towards the peak. "Even one volcano can affect the world a lot, and I like to study those sorts of things. It's also pretty up here, at least to me." She turned back to Nuria and smiled. She wrapped herself up in her cloak a bit tighter to block out some more of the heat.
