*The sound similar to a large body dismounting from its horse is heard. A heavy landing and gentle clanking from armor, followed by approaching footsteps.*

"And I you. Your name, maybe not, but your face..."
*The footsteps get closer and closer, till they stop, seemingly inches away from Juna's resting place.*
Carrie
*Juna paused, her ears shifting in turn as he got closer. The sound of his voice was getting all the more familiar in time and, in the back of Juna's mind, she could practically envision the friendly grey wolf walking alongside her as she spoke of her troubles. It seemed real, almost.*"Yes... We were... Friends...? You were a friend-."*She stated with wavering certainty.*"You are-."*She slowly opened her eyes, instantly met by the beaming rays of sunlight. However, upon looking up, she noticed the wolf towering above her. In the rays of light, he practically looked ghostly, unreal even and her ears went back instantly as she let out a yelp.*"Grey??"*She suddenly said, all ambience of the moment suddenly dropping as fast as her heart did.*"You're... You're here? Or... Is this dream-? You- aren't dead are you?"*Many thoughts began flooding her mind at the thought of the wolf suddenly showing up here after years of not seeing him. Even at his decline of visiting her, the message in the watch now felt ominous to his sudden appearance. Did something happen? Was he really a ghost visiting her? What did that even mean?*
Mary
*The wolf blinked idly as Juna exploded into a thousand questions. As she asks her final one, he thinks to himself on the all the thoughts she expressed. He strolls beside her, slowly letting himself down onto the grass and dirt and breathed an aged sigh.*
"Let's see... If this is Runra, than I'm here. A dream..." 

*He glances at Juna and reaches out. Gently pinching her arm and blinking at her expectantly.*
"Not a dream either. As for if I live..." 

*He gently takes the same arm he pinched bringing it up to his furred neck. He positions her to find his pulse, and waits for her to answer the question herself.*
"So?"
Carrie
*Juna sat frozen in place for several moments as he moved her arm around his neck, feeling the light thudding of the wolf's pulse while she stared agape at him. He was very much alive and here, now of all times. She had asked the spirits for a sign of what to do and they had sent her him. Now she was more confused than ever! A single tear ran down her face. She wasn't really sure why. Did she actually miss him that much or was she just glad he wasn't dead? Maybe a little bit of both. Eventually the Canifor moved her arm away from him and she wiped at her face. Lowering her gaze away, she eventually answered him.*"You're alive..."*She confirmed.*"I... Didn't think you'd come here... Of all places... It's... Very far from the mainland..."*Her shoulders drooped as her previous thoughts for the reasons of him not coming at her invitation began to surface again.*"...What are you... Doing here?"
Mary
*Grey blinked, unintentionally staring as Juna seemed to cry. He didn't know why, or really what to do. Deciding to do nothing at all, except sit with her for a while. The wolf looked across the landscape the hill overlooked, thinking about what to say.*
"Yes it is... It's a strange place too." 

*He looks down at Juna then, pausing in thought.*
"Well... I came to see you. To see if you were okay out here. Your letter was a little shocking to get... I'm sorry I didn't come sooner."
Carrie
"...You did?"*She blinked up at him, a little surprised that he did end up coming out to see her after all. The Canifor had almost figured him to be here on some kind of business or something, though she was never really sure what Grey did in his past time. Regardless, the idea of him actually coming over in wanting to see her got a small wag from her, but it went away just as quickly.*"I am fine... I mean... Sometimes the others worry about me but... I'm okay... I'm better than I've been in a long time-. Just... Maybe a little crazier I guess-."*She rubbed at the back of her head, giving a half-hearted laugh at the partial joke. When the moment faded, she fell quiet again and looked out at the horizon.*"I feel like I've... Finally got a direction to go in... Even if I'm... Not really sure why I'm going in it, but- it must be leading me to something nice, because I got to see you again-."
Mary
"It sounds like you've made some friends out here." 
*He smiled, admittedly raising an eyebrow at her crazy comment. He shook it off however, listening to her words. She must have figured something out in the time they were apart. He smiled at her once more, reaching out and gently petting her head.*

"That's wonderful to hear, Juna. It pleases this old wolf to see a youngling happy to see him." 
*He chuckles to himself.*

"May I ask what you're doing out here? It's a long way from the next town, and traveling alone can be dangerous."
Carrie
"Oh-. I'm never alone. I have the spirits following me-. And also Jace and Juniper-."*She says, gesturing down to the two animals chasing one another around.*"I've... Been trying to follow what the spirits have been telling me... I've been heading northwards for as long as I can but... I'm not too sure why yet. They haven't given me any hints of what to do outside of that. I thought I'd... Take the time to... Meditate and see if I can reach out to them..."*She looked back at Grey paused for a bit before continuing.*"Although... I'm not too sure if they've answered me or... Just tried to distract me from asking questions..."
Mary
"Spirits...? How do you mean-"
*Grey looked... Admittedly concerned. Maybe she had gone crazy after all. He glances over at Jace and... An oversized bird. Had these been her traveling companions all this time? He felt like he'd read about something similar to this.*

"Are you okay, Juna?"
