The heavy volcanic air was beginning to get to Yuri. He coughed, trying to ignore the unpleasantness of his surroundings and focus on the problem at hand. Flapping his wings seemed to help. Not crazily, but a gentle breeze kept the smoke away from his face and his airways clear.

"Hmm, I'm fairly sure the walls were metal," He screwed up his face and sighed. Rae had a good way of thinking but hundreds of places had metal walls.

Both of the Yonyuus had good suggestions about the location of this 'lab'. He paused, wondering which to pick. The swamps did seem more likely, but what if it was the rainforest? They both made sense, but both were so far away...

"I think...we should get out of here for a start," He smiled weakly, still shaken slightly from his memory, "You both make good points, and Tengel is kinda near Baian so maybe we should go to both? You know, to make sure." He glanced up at the volcano and shivered, despite the obvious warmth. They'd have to leave pretty quickly if they were going to go to such a far place...

Rae sighed, feeling exceptionally useless for time being. Yonyuus, he decided wryly, were too smart. Although...he twitched his ears, nodded in agreement. "Wherever you go, I'm with you," he said stoutly. "I've been to Tengel before," he added. "On a Moonling Hunt. Perhaps we could start there? I'm pretty sure I can keep us from being lost." At least long enough for you to find something else out, he thought desperately. Tengel Rainforest was definitely not a fun place to be...

"Who packed the maps?" he added thoughtfully, remembering at last the pack on his back. "They could be useful for now." The Kuhna was distinctly ruffled, what with the combination of heat and agitation. The sooner they got out of this pit of death, the better. He winced as gooey black liquid flushed over his paws, lifting his feet quickly and springing to safety on a rock nearby.
