"Yes, my lord will eat mushrooms. He will eat... Mushroom, meat, herbs and vegetables if he has to, I don't think he enjoys spices though. But I know my Lord prefers meat, *Raw* Meat. He's not... A human like you or me, miss." **Mercy dropped the chanterelle piece on the ground in front of Jace, to which she then stood upright, to face Juna more formally. It is about time Mercy began to rid her insecurities to improve on her social skills. After all, being friendly bears no foul on anyone.**

"Blackspire Manor?" **Mercy turned, pointing back the way she came. If Juna's sight wa is as good as her hearing, she may be able to make out the shape and colors of the manor property through the trees. They were about nine-hundred meters away from the limits.** "My Lord is a canifor, sort of like this little one here!" **She smiled at the jackal, eager to break bread with it, moreso than its owner...** "I would invite you to the estate, but I don't think my lord would allow me to have friends visit. N-Not that we're friends. But if we did become that! Maybe he would... Have some leniency. I get real lonely there all by myself, he's gone a lot, and when he is home we don't interact nearly as much as we used to. But the times we do, I cherish it."

**Mercy let a melancholic sigh slip, whilst regarding Juna & Jace with a smile that directly contrasted her inner dejection. It is no secret that Mercy suffers from a deep affliction, it is easily indicated by her sunken, weary eyes and lowered posture.** "I'm a vampire! But y-you don't mind that do you? I wouldn't hurt you, n-not another living body like myself. I wouldn't do that, miss... I promise. I swear it. Won't you help me collect more ingredients for the evening supper?"

*Juna's ears would flit back at Mercy saying her Lord wasn't a human, more so at the fact that she'd consider Juna to be one. Though the Canifor had been raised by Macens, she knew very well what she was, but who was she to think much of Mercy? It seemed like she didn't meet others often which could very well be the reason. Despite it, it did make her wonder what their Lord was if not human. The liking of meat could describe many different species, her own even.

Jace looked at the mushroom as she placed it down in front of him before he would lower his head at gnaw at it. The chewed up bits of mushroom of course would fall from his muzzle at his refusal to swallow it which in turn would be a waste, but at the very least he gave it a try. The Jackal let out a disapproving huff of air before turning away to explore something more interesting.

Juna looked over in the direction that Mercy gestured in, her eyesight in fact being just as good as her hearing. She could make out the distant figure of it which was proof enough that she was possibly on someone else's land. Hopefully they were nice enough to allow her to walk here, though with Mercy's description she wasn't so sure. 

When Mercy mentioned her Lord was a Canifor, Juna's ears would perk a bit only for her to realize that 'he was a Canifor'. To say the least, Juna's encounters with other Canifors were never the best, often ending in aggression from them. It was a wonder how this one would act.*"You know... I'm... I'm a Canifor too..."*She'd say only for Mercy to bring up the fact that she was a Vampire. A Vampire? As far as Juna knew, she had never met one before which of course wasn't the case, but for someone to openly state that they were one was news to her.*

"A Vampire...?"*With Juna's little experience of them, she wasn't sure what to make of that. However, with Mercy soon after asking if she would help her collect ingredients, Juna seemed to be at a loss of what to say to the Macen.*"I... I'm not sure..."

"Yes, miss, yes! A *Vampire.* I hope that's alright, I won't harm, I won't bite. No foul here! No fright~." **A clever rhyme, Mercy let it pass right on the spot, and finished it with a... Smirk of sorts, which was really a half-hearted smile brandishing her half inch fangs!** "Look at them miss, they're too small. They wouldn't hurt you even if I did snap. Just little sharp teeth, that's all. I-I don't even hunt my own food with them, like other vampires do. I like to chew meat more thoroughly with them, right? I thought that made more sense! Why waste my teeth sucking blood when I could be *Eating* With efficiency."

**Mercy let out laughter, bending forward while her chest and body heaved with the giggles. What she perceived as hilarious was often not so in common with what the average person would, for her social ineptitude has given her a false sense of understanding about customs and typical jargon. Mercy has her own.**

"Ahhhhh... That's so nice. It's nice to meet you, miss. Could you tell me your name? Then we could pick a few more mushrooms, and I'll lead you back. My Lord won't mind, now that I think of it. You're not going to cause trouble after all, I think he'd welcome you because you're a canifor too! But he's not like... You. He looks more like your little dog there, if you understand. You'll see, you'll see him, maybe. Come on, let's go before it turns dark."

*Juna took a step back from Mercy as she suddenly broke out in laughter at her own joke, wondering if it would be wise to turn around and run while she still had the chance to flee. The Steward seem off to her, similar to that of the Elf that took her to Salvania once. Her description of chewing meat over sucking the blood out of it didn't help much either. Juna's ears fell slightly at the thought.*"Right..."*She would say quietly in agreement despite her not containing the same train of thought. 

When Mercy said her Lord looked more like Jace, Juna at least found it more understanding. After all, most Canifors tended to appear that way as far as she could see. Juna could only assume that she was a bit different from the rest which was fine enough for her. As Mercy asked of her to introduce herself, she would say simply:*

"I'm Juna..."*She never felt the need to say her last name really, finding it overly formal, though in the land of a Lord maybe formal was all there was to it. As she said they should go before it gets dark, Juna would at first open her mouth in protest only for it to shut once more as no words came. She wasn't one to really argue anyways as she would give a small dip of her head.*"O... Okay..."
