Jerrar was becoming frustrated just listening to the two of them.<span style="color: #BF4000">"Yeah, something like that-"</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #804000">"I went on a trop'cal vacation once to a nice island. Met some nice babes dere too!"</span>He gave a dusty laugh.<span style="color: #804000">"They was hotter dan the desert sand. But so wuz their tempers. Whoowee! Did I feel sore aftah that one. But that were when I was a youngin', now I dun think I could stand that sorta beatin'."</span>He gave another dry laugh, as he leaned awkwardly on his broom.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF4000">"Erm..."</span>Jerrar began hoping to grab the old dragon's attention for just a moment, seeing as he was now looking through them rather than at them.<span style="color: #BF4000">"Where exactly is the island, and which volcano? I've heard that there are a series of volcanic islands somewhere on the other coast, but which-"</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #804000">"Da red one!"</span>He called.<span style="color: #804000">"Dat was what I called her the day I met 'er at those volcanoes. Boy was she redder than a ruby, slipping out of that lava like it were the ocean. I weren't young, but I was after her. When I first come up ta her and ask her what 'er name was, she 'bout bit mah tail off." </span>He pulled his long tail up around him and held the tip of it.  It was burnt to where the grey fur that was meant to cover the tip of the tail, hadn't been grown a bit since the day he spoke of.<span style="color: #804000">"Her breath caught flame every time she talk, and her temper shorter than a Tasmanian Devil that just got hit with a rock. I did that too, that bugger almost rip mah face off..." </span>He went on and on about the Tasmanian Devil, then the conversation mentioned some sort of mountain climbing, then being lost at sea, but Jerrar wasn't listening.<br/><br/>Jerrar turned to Kiriei and looked into her light blue eyes and gave a helpless look.<span style="color: #BF4000">"I've only heard of an area called the Melting Islands, which is a group of active volcanoes in the west, but there could be tons of them. I don't know if I can get anymore out of this guy. So do you think you might know where exactly those islands are?"</span>He asked desperately wanting to get out.
