*The danger... Any semblance of a smile seemed to disappear from the canifore's face. The dogged man briefly remembering back to that day, and what had transpired after he departed. He sighs deeply and casts his gaze down at his own lap. A hand coming into view, flexing and relaxing, as if he was remembering the feel of his grip on something...*

"The danger... An attack. On a village, not far from where we were."
Frances
"Oh..."*She'd murmur quietly, drawing her legs close to her as she'd rest her head atop her knees. Juna supposed a village attack was common at this point. Nowhere was very safe for long. It was that dread that never seemed to leave her even in her best moments. Her tail would curl up around her as she'd come to sit in silence for a while.*"Were you able to help them?"*She'd eventually ask in the midst of her staring out at the open water.*

*Grey watches the Canifore beside him curl up more. A slight tinge of guilt coming with the truth he'd spoken...*

"Yes, I was."

*The wolf says, searching a little deeper in his memory. The fire and bloodshed he'd come to... And the faces of those left behind, teary eyed and grateful smiles. It saddened him, yet warmed him too.*

"They'll recover what they'd lost soon enough... Most of them."
Frances
*Lost. So not everyone could be saved. Juna remained silent, pondering over her own losses. Most were repeated memories constantly trying to remind her of why she remained hidden. Even in hiding though, it seemed to be ineffective.*"I wish I could say the same..."*She'd say rather emotionlessly. The Canifor would glance over her shoulder, watching her two pets play amongst themselves despite the mood.*"I worry that no place is safe... Sometimes... This forest doesn't really feel safe even with living in it to hide... I wish I could run from it all... But... It just seems to follow me..."*She'd look back up at Grey.*"Yet you run... Towards the danger... Despite the consequences..."*Perhaps Juna really was a coward by day's end yet how could anyone rush into a fight without knowing what to expect?*
