Rodolfo
*One of Juna's ears rose while the other remained flat on her head in that questioning look she tended to give off. Her tail flicked to the side, picking up the nervousness he gave off with a light twitch to it. She wondered if he ever grew scared of the dangers that lied at every waking moment out here and perhaps this was just his way of keeping his spirits high. It seemed to be an odd method, though even she couldn't stop herself from stifling a laugh at his goofy statements. He was trying at least and in response she gave a lop-sided smile, responding:*

"I think I'd test my luck with that over half the dangers we had to face outside the forest." *She boasted it more confidently, allowing herself to give in to Jester's humorous tales.*
Chad
*Jester, looking a bit relieved* "Oh ho we have a brave one!" *He laughed as well. He stands up on the branch, releasing some of his energy* "Sorry gotta keep myself moving" *He picks off a piece of bark and twirls it in between his fingers or passes it from hand to hand. He sighs, content* "It's around now that I realized i haven't really talked to anyone since I been out on the road. I kinda missed it"
Rodolfo
*Her ears perked up slightly as she watched Jester, never really sticking to one place in contrast to Juna's more lax position on the branch she laid on.*

"You said you used to have a Tavern you'd go to... Or something like that... What was that like?" *She can see those working at a Tavern being used to socializing with people though it did leave her wondering why he left in the first place. Juna didn't always have the best memories at Taverns, however, she wondered what could have been so big to have caused him to leave that life behind. Adventure most likely or maybe there was something else.*
Chad
"It was great! I worked there for my uncle. Mainly as a security measure but I helped around when things got busy. I met so many people there, almost got a girlfriend once" *He smiled at the memory* "It was mainly big burly guys coming in for drinks and stuff but the people that came in for the food were the nicest. Luckily I gave out the food a lot because of the extra cargo I can carry" *His ponytail swished around to emphasize his point. He trailed of a bit* "I wonder how my uncle's doing?"
Rodolfo
*Juna watched his ponytail with a look of curiosity, though she decided not to say anything about it as Jester continued telling about his great time at the bar.*

"So... If you liked it there so much... How come you left...?" *She questioned. Her reasons for leaving her home never had much more intent than wanting to see the world, though perhaps it was the same for him.*
Chad
*Jester thinks for a bit* "Ive always wanted to explore the world. I wanted to get out there ya know? The bar was actually my escape from my old place" *His smile wavered in the slightest bit* "My old man did somethin stupid so I left and went to live with my uncle. He was ok woth takin care of me but didn't like 'all that explorer crap' so we made a deal. I stayed with him and worked in the bar till I was 18, then after I can do whatever I wanted, just as long as I was outta his house. I moved out, worked at the bar and switched between hotels and the streets, then after about a year" *He gestures to the woods around him and the sea close by, grinning* "I decided I shouldn't throw out my childhood dream"
Rodolfo
"So you just wanted to explore?" *She asked with simplicity to his explanation as she eventually brought herself to stand up on the branch she was on.* "I always liked exploring too... It's why I came here..."

*Juna kept one hand pressed sturdily on the trunk of the tree and gazed out towards the sea. The view from here was quite nice, though going out there was a whole different story.*

"There are so many things to see and learn out here, but... Sometimes it can be difficult."
Chad
*Jester smiles* "My mom used to tell me that if you wanted anything worth while, it wasn't gonna be easy. That's why i'm gonna keep fightin until I can get out there. There's a whole world out there waiting for you, you don't wanna keep it waiting to long do ya?" *Jester takes off some more bark and starts carving into it with his nails, careful not to break it apart*
Rodolfo
*Juna tilted her head to the side.* "What if you don't know what you want, but still have to fight anyways?" *She asked. It was true, Juna wasn't exactly sure what she was looking for or what she wanted to find, but despite it, hardships still came. Maybe she simply wanted to adventure and have fun, but nowadays that wanting alone seemed like a childhood fantasy with what adventuring truly entailed.*
Chad
"Maybe, if you look at it a certain way, you know exactly what you want. Clarity. Sometimes trying to know yourself and what you really want is the biggest battle anyone has to face. Most of the time you never know what you want until you go out and get it. And if you don't know where to look? Try everywhere." *He keeps on picking at the bark. So far he has the letter J carved in*
Rodolfo
*Juna flicked her tail back thoughtfully.*
"Wise words coming from a bartender." She teased at him. Down below her Jackal had began to grow impatient. He hopped up onto the trunk of the tree, his front paws planted on it as he barked up at the two of them in their ignoring of him. Perhaps he sought attention or rather the hunting that they had came out here for. Juna would look down at him and say sympathetically:*

"I'm hear you Jace... I'm sorry-" *She said in quiet voice as she looked to be readying herself to hop back down.*
Chad
*Jester chuckles and looks down at Jace. When he sees Juna get ready to go he does the same. He falls back, clutching the piece of bark. His ponytail grabs a nearby branch and swings down. He lands perfectly and cheers* "Hell yeah!" *He pumps his fist, accidentally punching a tree* "AH!" *He shakes his hand, laughing at his own stupidity*
Rodolfo
*Juna lands down onto the ground nearby, lacking the extra acrobatic show for something less dramatic. Seeing Jester accidentally punch the tree with his fist, she shook her head in exasperated amusement before saying:*

"Careful, you might bring the entire forest down with that much excitement-" *Jace quickly ran towards her as she made it to the ground. He moved in a quick circle, sniffing at the Canifor in investigation before redirecting his course to Jester where he stood barking at him defensively.*
Chad
*Jester stands still, hoping not to set off Jace anymore* "Hey you never know! That coulda been a tree spirit!" *He then looks cautiously at the tree* "You arent a tree spirit right?" *He shuffles a little bit away from the tree. His tail swishes around. His ponytail swishes around, as if looking for something to fiddle with. Jester finishes his masterpiece on the bark then drops it. He scratched his name into the bark with big block letters*
Rodolfo
*Jace sniffed at the area around Jester's feet and upon him dropping the piece of bark on the ground, the Jackal picked it up in his mouth as offering to himself before turning away and walking off with it. Juna watched him go, slowly running her fingers along the string of her bow before she looked back at Jester.*

"Looks like he wants to go hunting... Want to come with us...? Wouldn't want to make the 'tree spirits' angrier from lingering too long." *She said in a silly voice of her own to emphasize the tree spirits.*
Chad
*Jester releases a breath he didn't know he was holding when Jace walked away. When she proposes the question Jesters tail swishes around a bit aggressively. His eyes light up* "YESYESYES!" *He clears his throat and leans against the tree* "I mean uh.. Yeah sure thats cool"

"Now Ive never hunted before so bear with me, but I may have a bit of a useful skill to help"
Rodolfo
*Juna smiles slightly, not having seen this much excitement in the idea of hunting since she was just a pup. Even with Jester's lack of experience with hunting animals, at the very least maybe she can potentially teach him how. He may not have a viable hunting weapon, but if all else fails he could probably scare the prey out alongside her Jackal. Juna stared off into space at the funny thought before she refocused on Jester. She didn't say anything to him for here on out the hunting would begin and he would have to learn how in similarity to how she did. She held a hand up to him, the signal to stop as easily comprehensible to Jace as anyone else. She would slowly move her hand to her mouth and hold up her index finger, pressing it against her lips to ensure silence before turning and walking off.*
Chad
*Jester stops at her command and nods when she motions for her to be silent. As she walks off, he takes a second to let himself calm down before following her, making sure to avoid twigs or anything that would make a loud noise*
Rodolfo
*Juna unstrapped her bow from around her, walking light on her feet. A few strides ahead she could spot where her Jackal had discarded the piece of bark he had stolen, obviously losing quick interest as he went on the hunt for prey. Juna's ears rose up atop her head, listening out for any rustling of prey and, instructionally, Juna pointed towards her ears to indicate for Jester to listen. The first portions of the hunt was simply knowing what to look for. A sign of life from any small creature of the forest could provide a decent meal.*
Chad
*Jester's ears pricked up and he listened. He suddenly became hyper aware of his breathing and made sure he quieted his breaths. He looked around, his tail finally calming down. Jester looks at both Juna and Jace, seeing how serious they were, and copied their movements, only stepping where Juna stepped and staying low like Jace. For a second he gets low enough to go on all fours and crawls after Juna like ~~like spiderman~~ like a spider. He mentally kicks himself and gets back up*
