*Juna would lightly pet her bird, caution in her listening to Softs' every word. At least her words didn't seem to suggest any additional interest to its value and, for that, Juna could relax a little. With the fields in view, Juna would come to a stop and nod towards her question, saying:*"Yes, it'll lead you to the Capitol as long as you keep traveling straight through... The gates aren't too far from here..."*She'd turn back to look to her and would give a light dip of her head.*"Thank you... For everything... And... I hope you enjoy the Capitol..."

She'd raise her hand to acknowledge the bow as she says "Your welcome, maybe we could work together sometimes if that's okay with you I guess. Eitherway thanks again Lady see ya again." She'd continue hauling her axe on her back as she followed the roads leading to the capital perhaps someday you'll get to see her again.

*Juna would watch her go, a light smile appearing at her face before she'd soon turning away from her and would begin heading back into the forest with her two animal companions. At least not everyone seemed to be after her bird. That could at least provide her with hope for the future and now, she had some knowledge of herbs to use at her disposal. Perhaps she'll see the woman again but, if not, she could at least be glad to have met her when she did.*

"Okay... Let's try again..."*She'd murmur to her bird. Juniper would be resting upon the ground, having grown tired of her caretaker's consistent attempts of trying to get on her back only to inevitably fall off again. Juna could never figure how other riders did it so easily and because of that each failed attempt only seemed to discourage her more. She was fortunate that Juniper had least been able to keep still the whole time, though not even that made it easier for Juna to figure out. By now, the sun was sitting high up in the sky and as the heat began bearing down on them, Juna began to feel her own bird's exhaustion as well.

She'd walk over to the Airstrider, considering going forth with trying to hop up on her back now that she was sitting, though in nearing her, Juna would eventually let out a quiet sigh.*"Never mind..."*She'd say, coming to sit down next to the bird and resting her head again its colored feathers. Her tail gently curled around her as she'd stare up at the canopy they were sitting in. Large leaves expanded out from their branches, providing some shade for the duo in them escaping some of the impending heat.

Summer was nearing and to this day, it appalled her how much Juniper had grown from a helpless hatchling just in a number of months before. Now the bird was nearly as tall as she was, though still carrying its child-like tendencies. Juna wondered how long the bird would stay a Juvenile because if this wasn't fully grown, Juna was scared to know what was. Surely the bird wouldn't get any bigger from what she saw of the other Airstriders, but it was something to think of.*"Maybe we can try again... Some other time..."*Her bird would glance over at Juna, arcing its long neck towards Juna as she'd let out a series of chirps before resting her head on the Canifor's lap. Juna would lightly pat the bird, letting out a small exhale of air in her own fails. At least Juniper was still healthy though. That made her feel a little better.*
