*Juna watched Lucrum try to get the Jackal's attention, her ears flicking every time he made the noise.*

"Well... He knows how to sit and... And stay... Usually..."*She began as she turned her gaze to her Jackal. At Lucrum's request, she would take another piece of Jerky from her pouch and hand it over to him.*"He can go find things and... He knows to return to me... At least... When he's not trying to attack someone..." 

*Jace watched the exchange, looking from Juna to Lucrum, back to Juna again as if debating who to go to. His tongue hung out lazily until eventually he had decided to switch his gaze back to Lucrum. Jace's leg muscles would bunch underneath him as if he were looking to lunge at the Macen. His ears shot straight up at the sound, soon responding to it with a series of barks which, for a Jackal, sounded more high pitched than anything.

He would spring up into the Macen's lap, planting his frontal paws atop his shoulders as he aimed to get to the fistful of treats. Seems like the Jackal was aiming to take the quick route rather than walking all the way around him. Stubborn dog indeed.*

*Lucrum mentally and physically preparing for the worst watches as the hound that was sitting prior looks ready to pounce, paying attention to his ears can assume Jace isn't likely to hurt him. He lets his opposing arm not block the way of Jace.

"Mhm...?"

*Lucrum keeps his view set on Juna as she explains everything needed to know about Jace. . . It is then when Lucrum starts to think of even better idea to get the Jackal to become more passive.*

"You know...? What would probably be a better way to teach him?"
*Lucrum exclaims with a raised eyebrow*

*As he awaits for the Jace to finally jump onto him. He is prepared prepared enough to not become panicky but is still weary of the Jackal's aggression, as Jace barks at him he stares the Jackal down. Before speaking firmly*
**"Caaalm~ Dooown~."**

*Lucrum not wanting to test his patience gives him a treat for now, before raising his prize above Jace's head and dropping only one to calm his aggression down, before closing his hand into a fist. With that? Lucrum seizes the opportunity with the jackal now on his lap his isn't hesitant in picking him up. As he begins to stand up right, holding the doggo with one arm seeing how it pans out with the jackal. Lucrum begins to spitball ideas with the jackal sitting on his arm*

"Another Jackal, or another timid dog. . . If you reward that dog for being calm maybe he might realize that he should act that way to? Kinda liked seeing someone do good and seeing them get rewarded, makes you want to be good too. Ontop of that!— You'll have two dogs that'll protect you!"
Michelle
*Juna tilted her head, wondering where Lucrum was going with this as he asked if she knew of a better way of teaching him. She wasn't quite sure what he meant by that, so she simply shook her head in response only to have the question answered as Lucrum would turn to her Jackal and tell him to calm down.

Jace paused for a moment as Lucrum spoke to him, staring back at the Macen with that one expression most dogs have as if they were trying to process something. The barking stopped at least though after a moment's wait, Jace would nip at the Macen's nose. It was less out of aggression, more so defiance. As he was handed the treat, the Jackal would eat at it while Lucrum decided to pick him, not really caring so much about it.

Juna couldn't help but stifle a laugh at Lucrum's way of going about taking care of a dog. Was that how they taught dogs how to protect the livestock? Simply telling them not to? Juna was sure Jace's comprehension of things only went so far, but his nature usually spoke otherwise.

As Lucrum suggested that she get another Jackal, she took the time to ponder over the idea. Should she get another Jackal? Her eyes would look over to Jace before slowly turning towards the egg nestled in the stick tent, debating to herself. On one hand, a companion for Jace would be nice. On another, how would she be able to take care of three animals? 

She turned to look back at Lucrum before asking:*"Would an... Airstrider work...?"*Juna wasn't sure how much a large bird could teach a dog especially with Jace's previous reaction to the animal, but perhaps the reward system worked all the same.*
