*Juna would pace her way to the edge of treeline, overlooking the wide expanse of water from where she stood at the forest's end. The sandy beach was a place she only occasionally visited, never truly favoring the water. However, this place proved to be a nice location for a simple break from things. In her hands was a bag and within said bag, was her young Airstrider hatchling. She'd walk her way down to the beach, being followed by her trusty Jackal companion before placing the bag down on the send.*

"Okay Juni..."*She'd whisper, opening the flap of the bag to allow the small bird to hop out and explore the area.*"Please don't wander too far... This place should be great for you to run around..."*If there was only one thing she learned about Airstriders at all is that they liked running, at least that's what she learned from constantly having to chase down the surprisingly quick bird. Being given new freedom, Juniper would waddle about in the strange grainy sands of the beach to which Juna would simply keep a watchful eye over for the time being.*
Sharonda
*The coast was rarely something he'd seen. He'd heard what it was like but upclose it was a totally different experience. He sighed deeply, it felt nice having a break.*

*He shielded his eyes and looked up. Aurym noticed what seemed to be another traveler with a furry companion? Aurym he'd go and introduce himself since he had nothing else to do. He stood up, rubbing the sand off of his clothes, and walked to greet the person.*

"Hello." He'd say with a subtle wave.
Rodolfo
*Juna's ears would flick at the sound of someone approaching, quickly whirling around as her heart would skip a beat. They were not alone. She'd grab at her staff, pointing it in front of her defensively as one would a spear as she narrowed her gaze at this newcomer.*"Who are you?"*She'd question, making sure she stood guard between him and her bird.*"And what business do you have here?"
Sharonda
"Woah!" He said as he backed away slowly. His hands up, palms facing her.
"I apologize but I'm not here to start a fight. My name's Aurym."

*Aurym spun around to show that he had no weapons on him.* _This woman was dangerous. I should be more careful next time._ *He thought.*

"I am only here to enjoy the beach and I assume you are here for the same reason."
Rodolfo
*Juna would look him over, her gaze narrowing at him.*"Last person to say that came to steal from me."*She'd snap.*"Why are you really here? What do you want from me?"

*It was obvious Juna had grown to be a bit paranoid after recent events, finding herself backing away slightly just so that she could keep Juniper in her line of sight in the event that he tried anything.*
Sharonda
"Why would I try anything? Look at this view!" He said, turning to the glistening sea. 

"I wanted to introduce myself since there was no one to talk to." He reasoned, lowering his hands into his pockets.

*Aurym could feel the tense situation that these two formed. He also felt a bit guilty for approaching her like that.*__Damn it, she probably thinks I'm some bandit.__ *He thought, shaking his head internally.*
Rodolfo
*She'd pause for a long moment, looking between him and the sea before eventually drawing her staff away.*"I'm Juna..."*She would say cautiously.*"I haven't seen anyone like you around here before..."

*The Canifor would plant her staff against the sand, slowly growing lax enough to allow Juniper to continue wandering the beach out of the corner of her eye. Jace would follow after the young bird, finding interest in chasing after her as she continued running with surprising haste for her youth.*"Are you... From around here?"*She'd ask, her gaze focusing more on his own as if the small shift of eyes was enough to suggest his intent.*
Sharonda
__It must be unusual for people like her to see a Ryujin since we live in a much different climate and region.__ *He thought.*

"Well, nice to meet you Juna." He'd say, smiling.

"And to answer your question, I am not from around here. I happened to have heard of this place while I traveled and I decided to visit." 

__I should've visited sooner, it is such a pleasant area to be in.__ *He thought. *Aurym sat down, sighing. He saw the furry companion that she possessed but he did not notice that there were two.*

"Well then, what brings you here Juna?"
Rodolfo
*With Aurym coming to sit down, Juna would eventually relax her hold the staff. The Canifor's head shifted to gaze out towards the ocean waves. They were nice, though she'd never want to get too close to them.*

"A break."*She'd say to answer his question.*"A break from the forest. I figured my companions would enjoy running around out here more..."

*The Canifor would sit herself down on the ground some distance away from him, wrapping her arms around her knees.*"I do not prefer it too much out here, but... It's alright..."
Sharonda
*The warmness of the area reminded him of the climate back home. He wondered how his family were doing. Hopefully business is booming back home, he'd chuckle internally.* 

*The Cerulean kobold nodded his head slowly as she spoke.* __Probably an appropriate place to have a break, I guess.__ *He thought.*

"I see.." He'd respond.

*Aurym turned to look at her, particularly her staff and became intrigued.* __Does she practice magic?__ He thought.*

"Are you some type of mage, Juna?" He asks, gesturing at her staff.
Rodolfo
*Juna would stare out into the ocean, watching the Airstrider and Jackal run out in the distance just short of the waves that managed to reach the beach.*

"No..."*She would say distantly.*"I used to know magic but... I believe I lost my touch after a while..."*Her hand would run along her staff. Its use was never for magic anyways, simply up close combat. She used to be able to heal at a single touch, but now that was gone too as well as her other gifted abilities. Where they have gone, she wasn't sure.*

"I'm just a simply huntress out here..."
Sharonda
"Aw.. That is quite tragic." He replied, his head lowered. Aurym felt a bit of sympathy inside of him as she responded to him.

*Checking his magic, the palm of his hand flickered with a white flame, being grateful that he had his magic. It was such an amazing gift and he felt appreciative of his draconic lineage.* __Some people aren't as lucky as others and I have to acknowledge that.__ *He thought. Aurym's flame extinguished as he closed his hands, he then looked at her.*

"I'm grateful that I can still perform arcane arts. I'm traveling the world while learning magic and honing my skills with the spear but having a break seemed nice." 

"Anywho, let's change to much more pleasant topics. What are their names?" He asked, pointing towards her comapnions.
Rodolfo
"That's... Nice..."*Juna would say in response to him claiming gratitude of his abilities, a sense of envy in her tone as she'd turn her head away at the burning sensation growing in her throat.

Maybe from shame or even frustration, nevertheless she hid the feeling. Only when he'd change the subject would she finally bring herself to look back at him. What were their names? The Canifor would gaze out to her two companions, saying:*

"The Jackal... Is named Jace and... The Airstrider..."*She'd say, using the word with hesitation knowing the value that came from it.*"Her name is Juniper..."
Sharonda
"Juni.. And Juna!" He'd say, chuckling at the names. 
"Well I'll be honest, they are very adorable." He says, tilting his head to look at Jace and Juniper.

*Aurym smiled and thought about getting a companion himself. It would be nice to have good company while on the road. He'd nod internally, considering the choice.*

"Y'know, I might just get a companion myself but I doubt my abilities to take care of one, unfortunately." He'd laugh, imagining what it would be like.
