Sharon
*He smiled at her before going to grab some spices and giving her a peck on the cheek as he went passed her*
Warner
*She'd giggle as she watched him* "I can't wait for cuddles later"
Sharon
"I bet you can't" *After a few minutes, the stew would be done* "OK, all done, you can go get Juna"
Warner
"Alright I'll be right back" *She'd say hopping off the counter and running upstairs after pecking his lips. Once she got to Juna's room, she'd flop on the bed while giggling*
Michelle
*Juna had remained still on the bed, gazing out of the window while her fur kept standing on end. As Addy would hop up on the bed, she'd let out a sudden gasp as if being tugged back into reality only to realize it was just the Macen. Taking a few moments to try to relax the Canifor would offer a light smile to her.*"Hey Addy..."*She didn't seem to really match the Macen's giggly mood, but maybe that was just to be expected.*
Warner
"Oops sorry did I scare you" *She'd say as she sat up with a look of worry on her face*
Michelle
"No no... I guess... I was just a little surprised..."*She said, scratching the back of her head.*"It's fine really... Just been, a little distracted-"
Warner
"Is everything okay? I'm here if you wanna talk about something" *She'd say as she reached over and held her hand*
Michelle
*Juna fell silent as Addy grabbed her hand, soon turning her head back towards the window.*"You ever... Get the feeling that... Something's happened...?"
Warner
"Sometimes yes but is it to do with Eggbert?" *She'd say as she turned to look in the direction Juna was looking*
Michelle
*Her ears would lower atop her head, her fur dropping back down alongside it.*"Yeah... Yeah it's about Eggbert..."
Warner
"Do you think you need to go?"
Michelle
*Juna would open her mouth to say something, though considering how far they had come to get here just for her to want to turn back around and get on the road again, no words came. She'd simply find herself nodding in response, curling her tail back around her.*
Warner
"Do you want me to go with you or would you like me to come later?"
Michelle
"You don't... Have to go... Traveling gets harder the longer winter goes on for... And... I wouldn't want you to get caught in it..."*She'd say, sliding off the top of the bed.*"Besides, someone will have to keep watch of Jace... Someone... He can trust..."*Juna offered a light smile towards her before walking over to grab her bow and quiver.*
Warner
"At least stay for dinner? You can leave first thing in the morning" *She'd say as she got up off of the bed* "And don't worry, I'll make sure to take good care of Jace. After all, he does seem to have a new friend" *She'd say with a smile*
Michelle
*Juna looked between Addy and the window, seemingly in debate before eventually placing her weapons back down with a sigh.*"Alright..."*She had to admit, she might as well eat now while she can. There was no telling how often she'd be able to find food out in the forests while she traveled back to Lymia.*
Warner
"Come let's go downstairs" *She'd say as she headed downstairs* "You can have a seat at the dining table, I'll just get some dinner for the pups" *She'd say once they reached the kitchen*
Sharon
*Kibaru would have set up the table and served the food before pulling out a chair for Addy* "Took you guys long enough"
Michelle
*Juna would make her way over towards the table, pulling out a chair for herself to take a seat in.*"Sorry for the wait..."*She said, sitting down.*"Just been... Keeping busy..."*Jace would appear from down one of the halls, quickly bounding over towards the table with the scent of food leading him.*
Warner
"Yea sorry we were just discussing some stuff" *She'd say as she gave him a look that would indicate she needed to talk to him about something later. She'd then head over to the kitchen and see what meat they had left over that she could give the pups. Once she found some, she'd put some bowls on the floor filled with it. Azura would dash over to Addy and give her a quick nuzzle before digging into her food* "Jace come get dinner" *She'd say as she pointed to his bowl before heading over to the chair that Kibby had pulled out for her* "Thank you" *She'd whisper*
Sharon
"You're very welcome my love" *He said before pushing it in a bit and going to take his seat* "This looks delicious, do you guys think?"
Michelle
*Jace would run a quick circle around the table, sniffing at everyone before looking up at Addy as she pointed over to his food bowl. Eventually he'd turn away from them, sniffing around his own bowl and taking small bites from it. Juna would gaze down at the stew, tilting her head a bit at it. It had been some time since she's had venison stew. It was quite a change.*"Yeah, looks great-"*She'd say in response.*
Warner
"It looks amazing and I'm sure it'll taste wonderful" *She'd say as she began eating it* "Mmmm this is really good! Thank you guys for hunting earlier"
Sharon
"I take more pride in the dish served, truly outdid myself here" *He said as he continued to eat the hot stew*
Michelle
"You're welcome..."*Juna would say simply under Kibaru's more prideful statement. With the food in front of her, she would slowly eat at the warm stew, deciding to savor its flavor for the time being despite with weighted feeling in the pit of her stomach.*
Warner
*Addy would continue to eat in silence as she savoured her dinner* "Kibby and I will take the pups out for a walk since we were planning on going on one ourselves. You can go to sleep since you'll have an early start tomorrow" *She'd say as she looked at Juna*
