[ * Oh no.
* Completely unwittingly, you have uncovered my shameful secret.
* So shameful I spun an outlandish story of being a soulless ex-human instead...!
* Isn't it a more interesting tale that way?

They'll match that sardonicism with their own. But for a moment their focus turns back outward, and ... hmm.

The path they're on, it is no longer quite so level, is it? Given that it is beginning to slope downwards, they must have crossed a decent portion of the plateau by now, though ... was their objective not to thoroughly map the entire thing? Or merely to mark out a single safe path?

(* Onward you forge, across the erupting plain of an active shield volcano.)
(* Ahead, the caldera awaits.)
(* The thought of unveiling those shapes in the haze, and what else might possibly be found there... it fills you with determination.) ]

[Kris snorts, nearly choking on a rock in the process. Their body pauses afterwards, as if waiting to see if they'll say anything more before it finishes making its little rock pile near the edge of the caldera.

They're still not keen on possession, but maybe it's fine if it's just stuff like this. Someone to talk to, without any filters. Someone who maybe gets it. They bury that thought in the back of their mind.

Thoughts of determination make their posture straighten, staring ahead pointlessly.

* (Smells like ash and dust.)
* (Leaving the geysers behind, your mouth already feels drier.)
* (You're filled with the power of remembering to stay hydrated.)

...

They actually do stop for a second, gnawing at the bag under their mane to get a drink from their water pouch. Holy shit. Gamification actually works?

Once that's done, it's back to the mission. They take a straight path towards the nearest shape—Chara will no doubt have something to say, but whatever it is, their reaction will be the same. Kris succumbs to their draconic instincts and immediately bites the object.]
