Tetradore had little fear, truly, of being beaten within a race against the lupine. Though his species was certainly built for short bursts of speed when they did bother to run as fast as they were truly capable, he hardly had to sustain his capabilities to run that fast. All he had to do was run faster than her. In fact, the were-King was so entirely certain of this singular fact that he found himself voicing all the same that such a race would end in his favor unless she cheated. After all, Tobias was a near master of bending those rules without truly breaking them. The loopholes he was capable of discovering and utilizing to his own benefit was truly astounding and, quite frankly, he hardly put it past Raven to follow that same path. That feminine giggle captured his attention, his emerald eyes fluttering towards her as she insisted he truly should know her better then to think she would behave quite like her boyfriend. A small shrug crossed his shoulders at that teasing gesture of her tongue though that challenge was hardly able to be carried out - not with the sound of others.

His attention turned towards those people that wandered along that clearly worn path, though where that line was going he had little notion. Tetradore's own emerald eyes settled upon them, simply watching them from where he stood. He hardly anticipated the way Raven reached out to take his hand, tugging him along to take up their own position at the rear. That sign that soon declared their destination caught his gaze and yet, truly, he had hardly planned for that convenient location. He'd merely taken the pair to a field he'd seen in a picture upon his initial research of the National Park. His eyebrow rose in surprise as the young woman at his side saw fit to inform him of several facts of that geyser, facts that he certainly hadn't known. She was clearly far more ecstatic about seeing simple water then he had anticipated. A small sound left his lips at that knowledge she'd imparted upon him, before his attention turned towards that hole in the ground they all seemed to be intently staring at. It was that idle inquiry of what the first people might have said in response to the boiling water that prompted a near deadpan reaction from the man. That giggling drew his emerald eyes, his head tilting to the side in consideration. "I'd hope they were smart enough to not get close enough to boiling water shooting from the ground." He commented though, truly, he couldn't deny the possibility that the grisly scene she painted certainly could have occurred.

It was the mention of a volcano, however, that caused his eyebrows to furrow, the man hardly liking that idea of a volcano exploding on the day they were here. "How about we don't jinx it, hm?" He commented, his gaze darting towards her before movement from his periphery pulled at his attention. He hardly oblivious of the fashion she shifted closer towards him and yet the man hardly reacted at that simple show of uncertainty. His own gaze was steadily placed upon that steam as the earth beneath them began to rumble. That sudden burst of watch caught even Tetradore off guard, his gaze following that shooting stream up into the air, his own lips parting in surprise at exactly what he was watching before, quite abruptly, the water fell to the ground and the entire show ended. "That was....dramatic." He commented, his own gaze briefly meeting her own as that grin spread across her features. It was that humorous note to the woman's tone that drew his attention, the man unable to help that snort that left his nose. "No kidding. He'd just refuse to walk on the ground at all." He certainly didn't put such ridiculous antics past his best friend, even if he still wholly cared for the deviant.

He trailed after the young woman as she began to move towards a sign, the girl quite clearly eying that map with the possibility of all the things she wanted to see. Tetradore eyed the map before before reaching out to a place justly to the north of them. "Let's end the night here." He stated, quite purposefully, that request to let their adventure end in the forested portion of the park was, perhaps, his only true request. "So...where do you want to start?" He inquired, his emerald eyes turning quite purposefully towards her.
