it does not bother me to say this isn't love
You too are shedding as you go. Your scarf, hat, mittens are first to be shoved into the bag you wear, followed by the pants you've worn over a pair of leggings. Dressed now in just those and the sorts of elastic-y t-shirts you were under your scrubs, you follow Sera's lead in tying your hair up. Already sweat has started to bead around the base of your neck, and every so often you can feel a drip run down your spine.
"That's what the reports say." You agree, thinking about pulling out the map you brought with you but deciding against it. There's really only one way in and out that you can see at this point, and if this isn't it, you don't want to traipse all the way across this lava-filled mantle. "Make sure we don't die? Is that too much to ask?" You quip back with a bright smile of your own.
Nudging her shoulder (it being far too hot for anything more), you make your way down into the system of caves. It's significantly cooler here, though..much darker. And you haven't thought to bring a torch. "You...didn't think to bring something we could use to light our way, did you?" You ask with a laugh that's half embarrassed, and half hopeful.
