"Are you going to stay here?" I asked the Salamander after watching it melt rock for a while.
"Yes," Ignis replied while stomping the ground happily with its scorching hot paws. "I'm going to complete this as fast as possible!"
It was so rare to see the Salamander expressing its happiness openly through action and energetic responses. Ignis had been acting like a proudful juvenile trying to not indulge itself in what it considered a childish act, but in its own element, the Salamander forgot about all pretenses. I could easily picture Ignis happily swimming around the pool of melted rock once the place was done.
"Hmm..." recalling the volcano in its glorious state and the moment my body turned to fire, I suddenly thought about a certain impending schedule. "Perhaps I can have my lesson here later?"
