*Juna stood facing the light of the campfire, her eyes squinting at the writing on a sheet of paper as she used her only source of visibility within the dark bamboo forest she had traveled through. She had been staying out here for some time, deciding to make it her home for the night while visiting the city in the day. Prey here was scarce, leaving her to have to live off of what supplies she could gather from the marketplace with her limited cooking knowledge.*"...And... She said to add seasoning to it..."*Juna said aloud as she read the paper, reciting the words of a friend that once attempted teaching her how to cook. The Canifor added in a reddish colored powder to a pot that sat boiling over the fire, soon taking a seat as she did.*"Hopefully that's the right one..."*She uttered. At her sides, an Airstrider and Jackal dozed the night away, only half conscious to the words of their owner. Seems like it was just them for the time being.*

*In the distance, Ivy was hopping from bamboo stalk to bamboo stalk. Her religious charms on her kitsune mask swaying in the breeze. She was using this method as it seemed to usually be the fastest way of travel. She was hoping to leave Runra soon as her knowledge of necromancy didn't seem to have much more to pull from here. Stopping for a moment she took a breather. In the distance she could pick up the smells of food and her stomach rumbled.* "Ugh... Not now..." *She was hoping to make it to the bay where she could possibly catch some fish to eat... It was quite a ways yet.* "Maybe they would be willing to share..." *She almost started laughing at her comment.* "Okay well maybe I can make them share..." *She began to head in that direction, being fueled by her need for food. As she got closer she dropped to the ground, hoping it might make her seem less threatening and began to head towards the light.*
Jerry
*Juna's ears shifted in the direction Ivy was coming from, causing her to look over towards her. Perhaps it was of surprise at finding someone out here at night that made her suddenly gasp or even a slight notion of fear. Her hand lowered down to her staff that sat flat on the grass, keeping it at the ready just in case as she tried to remind herself that not everyone was out to get her. Her Jackal glanced up at the sudden sound, looking over towards the woman and letting out a growl of warning at her. Juna allowed some silence to pass between them, making note of her keeping close to the ground.*"Who... Are you...?"*She eventually uttered in a quiet tone. Her ears lowered flat on her head as she asked, whether from timidity or mild aggression it could have been either with her keeping a hold of her weapon.*
Robert
*She smiled a bit, she told herself it was to seem friendly but she honestly wasn't sure. Moving to a more defensive stance she continued to move towards them. Her black tipped hands out in front of her.* "My names Ivy, I smelled the food and got curious. I didn't mean to startle you." *She hoped the name wouldn't be one the Canifor knew... She didn't exactly have a great reputation as of late.*
Jerry
*Juna took a short pause, allowing her ears to perk up a bit at the introduction. Just someone curious about the food it seemed. Hopefully it smelled fine from a distance.*"...It's... Nice to meet you Ivy..."*She said sheepishly.*"I'm... Juna..."*It took a short while before the Canifor had removed her hand from her staff, instead using it to give her Jackal a light pat on the head.*"...Are... You hungry...?"*She asked the woman.*"Sorry I... I don't believe I'm the best cook..."
Robert
*She relaxed as Juna relaxed. Now walking more calmly towards them she was sure to stay out of the jackals way. It didn't seem too keen on her.* "I am... I wasn't sure if you'd offer." *She sat down on the other side of the fire and smiled as kindly as she could at Juna.* "I don't mind if it's poor cooking... Or rather I don't think my stomach does right now.." *She looked at her stomach with a slight snarl.* "I didn't think I'd be hungry so soon..." *She took a moment just staring at her stomach before speaking again. Supposing small talk would be good since she was offering her food.* "What are you doing out here? I'm heading towards the bay... I'm hoping to set sail to Silnarian." *She looked the other girl in the eyes through her mask. Her blue eyes prominent against the white.*
Jerry
"It... Should be done soon... I...Think anyways..."*She said, watching the water gradually vanish from the pot. Hopefully the food from the marketplace was as good as the food she used to hunt out in Salvainia's forests. Hearing that Ivy was heading towards the bay to set sail to Silnaria, Juna's gaze soon lowered. There were harsh memories of that place, things she could have avoided had she not been so desperate the one winter, now it's just a tainted moment in the back of her mind. She was lost in thought for a while, almost to the point where she didn't realize Ivy had asked her a question alongside it.*"I uh... Well... I was kind of..."*Juna paused, wondering if it was worth giving this woman the true story for her presence out here or if she would just be deemed crazy. She supposed she's had worst to which, after a deep breath, she finally said:*"Looking... For spirits... I...Kind of thought some would be around... At night at the very least..."*Juna murmured the last part under her breath. Each failed attempt of finding what she was looking for out here only caused her to question her own sanity more.*
Robert
*As she finished talking she chuckled which slowly turned into full blown laughter. Anyone hearing it would think it was coming from someone who was insane. Slapping her knee she responded* "And I was nervous to tell you!" *She smiled* "I'm actually practicing necromancy... What kind of spirit are you looking for then?" *Her whole aura seemed to shift to someone else. Not necessarily creepy but strange.*

*Her blackened hands seemed to have a black steam coming off of them, and she was excited. The steam looked cold however like dry ice.*
Jerry
*The laughter seemed to catch Juna off guard, almost reminding her of a harsh cackle of sorts that was enough to cause her to inch away from the woman slightly. Only when she mentioned practicing necromancy could Juna look back at her. She gave a perplexed look towards Ivy, a look that could have been noted as pure confusion.*"..Necro... Mancy...?"*She asked as if the word was foreign to her. If not for the black steam exiting the woman's hands, it wouldn't have occurred to Juna that she meant to use magic of sorts. At least she figured that's where Ivy was going. It was a wonder of what she was so excited for, maybe that's what had Juna the most confused in the sudden shift in aura.*
Robert
*She put her hands down a bit, also perplexed. Shaking it off she explained.* "Necromancy is magic with the dead... Spirits if you will. I can usually sense if a wandering soul is nearby." *She grinned her sharp canines in view.* "So I could help with the spirit thing... Especially since you'll be feeding me... And if you don't mind me asking... Why do you need a spirit?" *The steam on her hands seemed to have ceased for now.*
