 In times like these, Xanthia wished she was a 'Daeva. It'd certainly make what she was about to do easier. But then, heightened heat resistance would also make this adventure much less fun! Knowing her, if Xanthia had been a 'Daeva, she'd try swimming in the ocean, instead. This, however, and under the current circumstances, this would be fun.
She stared up from the base of the mountain, excited at the prospect. This wasn't just a mountain, it was a fairly active volcano. It wasn't doing anything now, obviously, so she would be fine as long as she didn't fly too close to the lava. But how close was too close, exactly? This is what Xanthia was about to find out!
She quickly flew up to the rim of the volcano, which was thick enough for her to stand on comfortably, and she looked down into the bright, hot lava. It was pretty far down, but already Xanthia was growing uncomfortable with the heat. This didn't hinder her resolve at all, though. In fact, it had the opposite effect. Xanthia began to stretch her wings in preparation for this.[Yeah, didn't really know where to stop, so I just ended it XP]

 Avatre sighed, bringing up a paw to rub at her brow. There was soot and ash everywhere here! She didn't like being so far away from home, or at least what passed as her home, but the thick growth of trees made distance necessary if she was to hunt. Of course Odi and Rei hunted sometimes as well, but considering it was two adult normals, one adult Daeva, and two kits to be fed there was a limit to what the two normals could do without overhunting the immediate area.
She doubted there would be anything here, of course. Active volcanos made for horrible places to live, depending on the frequency with which they spewed molten rock and ash into the sky. Sure the ash was good and fertile for new growth...if anything got a chance to grow before being coated with a new layer of fine gray powder or hot liquid rock.
Deciding that she had rested long enough, Avatre launched herself back into the sky. At least the place had great thermals for easy flight. On a whim of curiousity Avatre angled herself to fly near the crater. Not over it of course, but it would be interesting to see the volcano up close. And of course, as close as she was now, it was pretty impossible to miss that bright dot of color against all the grays and browns.
'What the hell is that feather-brained creature doing,' Avatre thought, watching what could only be a female Phim, judging from the curly hair, slim build, and feathered wings, perch at the very rim of the volcano to stare into its depths.

The scent of another fox distracted her from the lava. Glancing around, it wasn't hard to spot the female 'Daeva flying around nearby. 'Ah, interesting,' Xanthia thought, a smile growing on her face at the thought of the coincidence. 'Speak of a 'Daeva and she shall appear.' Abandoning the volcano momentarily, she flew up to meet her. Approaching a 'Daeva isn't the typical thing to do, considering their reputations. So it's only natural that this is the course of action Xanthia decides to take.
As she flew up to meet the 'Daeva, Xanthia wondered what to even say. "Hello, have you ever flown into a volcano?" It was the first thing to come to her mind, and it just happened to blurt itself out of her mouth. Ah well, she was okay with it.

Avatre wheeled around the female, using the thermals abundant in the area to keep her aloft. She could have hovered, but that not only required massive amounts of energy to maintain but was also noisy. Gliding as a lot more effortless, and she didn't have to raise her voice above a loud tone in order to be heard.
"Do I look like a charred idiot-," she retorted in a slightly acidic voice, "-, cause that's all that comes out of volcanos alive. She snorted in disgust--'Fly into a volcano, what kind of drivel is that?'--, then banked to ride the thermal in an upward spiral to get more height. Let the silly Phim go char herself. Natural selection didn't need Avatre sticking her nose in, and she needed to find a good place to hunt.

Rather than returning to what she was doing, Xanthia followed the 'Daeva up higher in order to continue the conversation. "Well, I'm not actually planning on flying all that far into the volcano. Just as far as I can possible get before the heat starts getting to me. I was just wondering that, since you're a 'Daeva and all, whether you can get closer to the lava than I can. I always assumed you and yours were fairly resistant to heat. More so than I would be, anyways. You do have flames on your feet, after all. That must affect your natural body temperature somehow."
Xanthia paused to take a breath, and to await a response. She was probably annoying the 'Daeva. That was another one of those things she had always wanted to do. She wasn't always so talkative or hyper, but if it would get on the 'Daeva's nerves, then why not? Today seemed like a perfect day to toy with fire in as many ways as possible.

Avatre growled under her breath. "Your sense of proportion is horrible. Yes, I am more resistant to fire and heat in general. But comparing a fire to something like lava or magma, you clearly have no idea what kind of power it holds. It's like the difference between a sapling and a forest giant."
She gave the Phim an annoyed look. "Show a little more respect for its power. It's not something for you to play with."
