The heat was overwhelming, but to Laura it felt like home. Unlike the others she hadn't picked up any protective clothing for the cold trek northward, and did not have any layers to shed. So while the others were descending she observed their merry little group. Aislin had come, of course, and Ama was leading. She was surprised to see that Rowan had joined the expedition, along with a new member she didn't recognize. This cat-person seemed to have convinced the angel into coming, he must be a pretty good talker if that was the case. Laura would have to look into him later. The cat-person appeared to be looking into her as well, with a noticeable look of surprise on their face. Her transforming seemed to have caught their attention, though it had been a long time since she'd seen anyone so surprised about her abilities. Soon enough Ama was explaining what the group was here to find: volcanic water samples, Fruit of Eden, and Stellar stones. From the reactions of those there it seemed only Ama and Aislin knew what those items were. Laura accepted Aislin's directions and began heading down the mountain path alongside her. It disappointed her a little to not get to be around the new person, but she supposed there would be time in the future for that. "So, what mystical object are we on the hunt for first?" the Siren asked, her hands behind her head, as though this was nothing more than a leisurely walk.

Rowan frowned at Ama's description of what they were looking for. Barring the volcanic hot water samples, it sounded like she didn't know what any of the other objects were. Yet she knew they would be here in this reality, just in this volcanic region? Why was she going off to fight monsters in a mine if they were just here for the items on the list? Rowan could not help feel suspicious that Ama was here for more than what she was telling them. Aislin and Laura had already walked off too, which irritated him just as much as Ama's statements. He hadn't seen the direction either of them had gone, but considering both of their sudden absences it wasn't hard to assume they'd left together. Rowan couldn't help feel dejected from this, but he couldn't really blame Aislin. After all he'd taken and read that unfinished letter, which had clearly been private, so it was to be expected she'd be angry at him. Which left himself and Khalua, who had suggested they go help Ama with the mine. Rowan personally had no doubt Ama had intended to go and do it all on her own as was her usual, but at the moment trying to go with Ama seemed much better than trying to go with Aislin. "Well hopefully she leaves some monsters for us," Rowan replied to the cat-man before turning toward Ama and continuing, "Ama, we're coming with you so you might as well let us know what we're looking for on this monster-killing joyride."
