*Her throat began to burn at the thought that some evil thing was out here trying to get them killed. She wanted to whimper, but it wasn't long until Ivy's words made her remember that she still had her companions out there. Her eyes widened in memory of them. She had been so focused on following that thing and fighting off the wolves that she had forgotten about them.*"There's no telling where they are now..."*She whined.*"We could be even further away from them now after following that-"*She got cut off, a flash of movement catching her eye as the dark figure appeared in it. Juna whipped her head around so fast at it, letting out a gasp of shock at its reappearance.*"That-!"*She yelped, pointing towards the small figure of darkness, hoping that Ivy could see it too. The figure didn't make any move towards them, almost like it was conflicted on whether or not to. Its outline, seemed faint yet wolf-like, though it looked much different than the deranged beasts they were fighting before. Juna took a step away from it, too afraid that it would lead her into yet another group of angry wolves. The figure noticeably drooped at that, but didn't take another step towards them.*

*She nodded and then flinched as Juna's head whipped around. Looking towards the figure she squinted a bit and could see a very faint outline. It seems whatever it was, mainly wanted Juna to see them. She still studied it however, extremely intrigued at whatever it was.* "Are they the ones that have been following you?" *She moved closer to it, her eyes beaming with curiosity.* "Can you speak? Can you communicate in any way?....You seem to have emotion at least..." *Not wanting to overwhelm whatever it was she stepped back again and looked at Juna.* "Do they scare you? Have they done you harm?" *She realized how many questions she had asked in a few mere seconds and took a step back again.* "Sorry, got excited... I'm sure it's not exciting for you." *Sitting down she winced a bit as the pain killer had wained a tiny bit, her three tails still with curiosity however as the creature kept her intrigued.*

*The spirit merely wavered in expression, though no words seemed to escape it. Juna looked towards Ivy in confusion, almost as if the necromancer had suddenly changed heart. Wasn't this one of the spirits to worry about? The angry monsters out here that are trying to hurt them?*"I-"*Juna seemed at a loss of words, unable to come up with an immediate answer. She wanted to say yes. The wolf did just lead them into a trap after all, right? She couldn't deny its aura being familiar though. Nothing like the angered feelings of the deranged wolf spirits, but something warm and inviting. Similar to the campfire, yet faded a little. No wonder there was so much temptation to follow. The dark wolf spirit turned away from them, continuing on ahead. Every now and then it stopped to look back at them, its tail whisking in mild anxiety.*"Do you think it... Wants something...?"*Juna asked Ivy in a confused tone after seeing her question it, only for the spirit to walk away.*
Robert
*She stood up and stretched.* "Possibly... It also seems to want you to follow it again... Do you trust it?" *She looked Juna in the eyes, her own blue ones filled with curiosity but also a bit of worry. She thought about what it could all mean, this shadowy creature following Juna. It didn't necessarily have a bad aura... Which honestly was better then a fully bad one in her mind. It did lead Juna to the wolves but she couldn't tell it's intention with that. Maybe it was bad? She couldn't tell... And that was what made her the most intrigued with it. It wasn't clear... It was a mystery of sorts and that can be exciting. Her tails moved in a calming manner, wanting Juna to decide. She was the one being followed by it.*
Jerry
*Juna looked between Ivy and the spirit, its tail now lashing in impatience. Ivy wanted her to decide if they should follow? Juna could hardly believe it. Didn't she just follow it into a fight with more spirits? Why should they trust it again? Juna bit her tongue in thought, feeling a weight on her shoulders as they both watched her. The spirit didn't seem to do any direct harm, but what if it was just cunning like another spirit she figured seeing before?*"I..."*She paused, sitting at an indecision, the wolf gazed back to her, soon lowering itself down onto its belly as Ivy once did when she came into camp. So it had been watching them? That's why it felt so familiar.*"I... Think... We should follow..."*She said after some hesitation.*
Robert
*She nodded and began to move in its direction. Turning around she began to walk backwards and motioned for Juna to follow. She hoped this creature meant well, having another fight wouldn't be super great with the state Ivy was in. The bruises coupled with the demon trying to take over earlier made her a tad uneasy. She would continue to walk backwards until Juna joined her. A small, (trying to be warming) smile on her face.*
Jerry
*Juna gradually followed after her, letting out a quiet sigh in hopes that she made the right choice. The wolf spirit stood back up on their paws at the sight of them following after it. Turning tail, it began to nimbly make its way across the forest floor. Its tense muscles suggested it wanting to break out in a run, but occasionally glancing back towards them, it was clear it didn't want to lose them again. Its paws moved lightly, not creating a single sound, while its only disturbance to the plants of nature hardly being any different than a gentle breeze. They really were following a spirit, weren't they? Did it used to be a regular wolf before it turned into one? Had it died somewhere out here before and was now acting as a guide of this place? Juna didn't understand Runra well, but she hoped this was a good omen rather than the other option.*
