Rafter was walking around the place. He had a Lymian book in one of his hands and a book about languages in another. Looking through the pages of both books, he was trying to figure out the language that the book was written in. There was a high chance of him walking into someone since he was so focused on the books.

*Juna walked along the roads of Pepor, her gaze lowered as she passed through the crowds of people, heading towards the main part of the Capitol. Only recently had she given up her egg so that it could be properly cared for until it hatched and was strong enough to travel, though even now, Juna couldn't help but feel a bit of a more somber mood at the lightness of her bag where the egg once sat. In her lost of thought, she found herself incidentally bumping into a person, to which she would quickly be brought into reality as she rapidly said*"Sorry sir-"*In apology.*
Jay
Rafter looked up from his books and made eye contact with Juna. If she managed to get a better look at him, she might notice that he was a Qua. "It is fine." He tells Juna.
Edna
*Juna dared to gaze up at him for a moment.*"No no... I should have been looking at where I was go-"*She paused, getting a small glimpse of his face which she figured to be only her imagination which alone made her stammered with her words.*"That I ehm... I...I should have been looking where I was going-"*She finally managed to get out. The Canifor had never seen a Qua before, only ever hearing about these large bug-like creatures that took on a more humanoid appearance and that alone for her was enough to sound like a nightmare. Surely he was not one of those, was he?*
Jay
If Rafter had a human-like mouth, he would be smiling. It can be difficult to show expressions without a human-like mouth or eyebrows. "Like I said, you are fine. I probably should be looking where I'm going, but I need to figure out the language this book is in. If I can't, then I might not be able to sell my translating services here." He tells Juna. There he goes explaining stuff about himself to a random person.
Edna
*Juna's ears would slowly lower on her head the longer she would stare at him, soon finding herself dropping her gaze once more.*"You're... You're a Qua-"*She stated timidly, speaking the name of the species for the first time since her childhood. Juna didn't think them to be real and yet here one was standing before her speaking of translating services it seems. Juna could find herself easily disregarding his words for the sake of the mini panic attack she had felt, but at the very least some bit of what he said reached her even if it didn't seem to.*
Jay
Rafter had a confused look on his face. He wondered why she said it like that. Then it hit him. "I'm guessing you don't like Qua. Well don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you." He tells Juna. The guy is trying his best to be nonthreatening despite being a tall insectoid.
Edna
"No it's not that... It's-"*Juna paused, not sure how to really explain herself without coming off as rude to the man.*"I've... Never seen a Qua... In person before.."*She decided to admit as she rubbed at her arm. Maybe at least then it wouldn't sound the harshest. It wasn't the idea of one hurting her so much as her getting too close to one for it to touch in her in the first place, the thought alone sending shivers down her spine. While Juna was spending her time stammering away, her Jackal would make progress around the Qua, sniffing at the strange insect's legs in wonderment of whether or not it was food like any other bug's.*
Jay
Rafter made another expression that would be smiling if he had a human-like mouth. He was relieved that it wasn't that she didn't like Qua. "Well, that's okay. I hope I've left a good impression on you." He says to Juna. He felt something moving around his legs and looked down to see Juna's Jackal sniffing him. "Looks like your friend is interested in me." He remarks.
Edna
*Her tail gave a nervous flick mostly from anxiousness. At the mention of her Jackal, Juna would say:*"Oh... He... Well he tends to be interested in a lot of people..."*The tone obviously carried exasperation, emphasized as she would give a quiet click of her tongue for him to 'come here' which only seemed the cause the Jackal to look over at her, his tongue hanging out in that goofy expression he tended to do to keep himself out of trouble. Juna sighed, eventually glancing back up at Rafter.*"You... You said you're selling translation services...?"*Juna of course didn't know exactly what he meant by that, but anything to push back the thoughts of her talking to a large bug seemed to help.*
Jay
Rafter looked back up and towards Juna. "Yes, I did. People, usually ones not from the place I'm selling at, can come to me and ask me to translate something for them. I either tell them or write in their language what the thing they want translated says. I also provide services to other merchants that want something translated for their shop. I'm studying every language there is in order to be the best translator I can be. That is it." He explains to Juna.
Edna
*Juna would give a tilt of her head at the explanation.*"Oh... You can speak in multiple languages then...?"*She decided to ask with a spurt of curiosity.*"Which... Which ones do you know...?"*Seeing his opportunity to go unnoticed, Jace would slowly walk his way back over to his owner, sitting down at her side while he left out a huff of air.*
