*Juna would come to sit at a narrow stream of water that swept its way along the forest floor. It wasn't very large, but it mattered little to the Canifor as she would gently run her hands along the feathers or her Airstrider mount. The bird had gotten herself dirtied from the amounts of aimless running she had been doing in the forest which inevitably left Juna having to wash her off in the stream. She was fortunate enough that the bird had tuckered herself out to the point where she wouldn't fight the Canifor while she tried to clean her. Juna would come to take a seat upon the ground, letting out a tired sigh. A staff rested across her lap while at her side was her Jackal companion, keeping watch of the forest while his owner went about her chore of caring for the steed. It was getting hotter out in the forest, Juna could sense it which only meant summer was nearing and her time was running short in this place.*
Joseph
The nearby bush would rustle perhaps a threat has come to seek blood? Nay this felt different this one felt rather thirsty in its aura. After moments of waiting a Canifor Girl would pop out of the woods carrying her giant axe on her back one handedly. She would seem tired and sweaty as she exclaimed "Whew, that was a good run!" Before heading to the clean rivers to wash her face and have a drink of water whilst gargling some later spitting into said river. She doesn't seem to have noticed your presence despite being literally 6 meters away from the group as of now.
Michelle
*Juna's ears would angle to the side as she'd hear the voice, turning her head in the direction to catch sight of the woman. They weren't alone, though Juna supposed she should have suspected as such with the warmth bringing new faces these past few months. She seemed occupied with cleaning herself off, so occupied that she didn't even notice them. Maybe there was still a chance that she wasn't hostile. Juna would keep a steady hand on her staff just in case as she eyed the woman, saying quietly:*"Miss... I...I don't think you want to put that water in your mouth-"
Joseph
She would look at the group in confusion as she sees a bird being bathed upstream she would take another sip of water as she says "Oh yeah you are definitely right..." She would then solemnly and silently head upstream from them to take some clear water from the river still staying close meanwhile in her mind she thought ```"I hope I don't get any diseases" Worried of the dirty water she just washed her face in and drank "``` she'd then continue to do the same as she did before but now noticing the group she would tell her whilst doing her business drinking "Thank you stranger?". Of course she had her guard down since she thought she could take em all on if they were hostile as she drank.
Michelle
*Juna would stare back at her with a loss of words, mostly from the disgust feeling within her. Instead she'd simply turn to her Airstrider and would whisper:*"Let's... Clean you off later..."*Standing up, Juna would help guide Juniper out of the stream, the bird soon taking heed in preening her own feathers in the meantime while Juna would pet her.*"My name is Lady..."*Juna would say quietly in answer to the woman's half-question. It wasn't her real name of course, though she hardly gave it nowadays with all that has passed through the forest.*
Joseph
Would chuckle a bit as she says "Heh, Lady? No offense but I'd that what you want to be called just lady like royalty? If that's your style then sure." She would then get up slowly facing her as she puts down her GreatAxe with one hand for a moment as she reaches out to her with her other hand for a shake "My name is Softs-kull nice to meetcha lady!". She would say so with a smile as bright as day in fact summer was close enough.
Michelle
"No..."*She'd murmur in answer of her question.*"Just lady like... Any other lady..."*Juna supposed there were better names for it. She could have just called herself Canifor after all, not that many could tell anyways. Maybe that would have helped her situation coming to think of it. Juna would look towards the woman's hand as she held it out to her, slowly reaching out her own to shake it after some hesitation.*"It's... Nice to meet you too..."*She'd say with a lot less enthusiasm. Juna drew her hand away once more, turning to glance back at the stream.*"I haven't seen you around this forest before... Are you... Lost as well...?"
Joseph
Would accept the handshake as she drew her hand away she would answer her question with enthusiasm "Yep, I am lost!". The lack of fear from her is startling I mean why would you be excited when you are lost right?. She'd then say "I was trying to find some food but guess this woods doesn't have that much to offer so I'm here for some training.". She'd then flex her muscles a bit indicating her "Training".
Michelle
*Of course she was another lost traveler in these woods, though she seemed to enjoy it as much as Hilmar did for some reason. Strange.*"Most food is typically found in the Capitol... Out here it's better to know how to hunt if you wish to find anything..."*She'd say in answer to her question before eventually coming to stand up.*"You are... Training on your own...?"*She'd ask in a more questioning tone. It seemed odd for something to practice fighting alone unless they had means of practicing on someone or something. Maybe she was attacking a tree, but even Juna was skilled enough to hit an unmoving object.*
Joseph
She would nod at the question of her training alone as she says with confidence "Mhm, training is not about just fighting you gatta work up your stamina too or else you'll end up just laying down tired in the field!". She'd then look around her as she searched for somewhere as she made a gesture with her finger circling the entire forest as she says "It's good to run around here sometimes. Sometimes you even find a good fight to partake in usually they start first!". She was probably clueless about bandits or she is just insane when it comes to battles.
Michelle
*Her ears would give a confusing flick to the side.*"Wouldn't it be easier to just run around an empty field...?"*She'd ask her, knowing full well how easily one can trip and tumble about the forest if they weren't light footed enough. Juna was hardly sure if this woman was as dexterous as she was making it sound. She'd eventually give a quick shake of her head.*"It's best not to fight in the forests... Hardly safe if you... End up getting yourself into trouble... There's... Already enough fights that's happened here... To need people to get involved as well..."
Joseph
She'd rub behind her head as she says "Oh really I'm sorry. But yeah I suppose so.". She'd then continue her regular laxed stature as she says "Anyways fields don't give me the right training most of the time you need to feel your surroundings do you get what I'm saying?" She would try to explain her point in a wide variety of ways later on. She'd then say besides a few trips and tumbles aren't that much of a harm you'd notice a piece of twig in her hair the entire time.
Michelle
*Juna gaze would look her over as she spoke about getting a feel of the locations. Part of her was dubious of the idea, but what did the Canifor know about training? She only ever had a couple people teach her and even then she doubted her skills.*"You didn't... Grow up in the forest did you..."*She'd eventually say, making an assumption from both her words and the way she went about things. The woman was definitely new around these parts that's for sure, but Juna doubted what knowledge she may thought she has obtained from being out here.*
Joseph
She'd shake her head in disagreement as the lady was curious of where she was from now as she explained "Nope, I'm from a tribe can't quite remember what it's called but I'm not really from here to be exact." She'd then see a herb plant as she exclaimed " Ooh a herb." She went over to pick it storing it in her pack as she came back as she asks "Is there anything else?".
Michelle
"So you've... Never hunted before..."*Juna would say, slowly connecting the dots only for the woman to suddenly dart off in collecting an herb she found. The Canifor would give a quick shake of her head, asking:*"Wait... You know about herbs...?"*Maybe it was the surprise or a underlying feeling of excitement that made the sudden fact catch her attention. It was hard to put a finger on it, but the idea that there may be someone else out here with knowledge on the medicinal plants gave her a bout of hope.*
Joseph
She'd droop her ear confused at her as she tilted her head a bit as she says "Of course I know about herbs and hunting. Herbs are plants that look normal but are actually good for health while hunting is you hit beast with big stick while running at it right?" She would make a swinging motion in the air for hunting as if holding a bay. She'd then explain as she held her arms out in pride praising herself "Anyways I usually know about these plants so I can make my brew that makes me invincible sometimes and helps with my wounds.".
Michelle
"Can you show me??"*Juna would say, her voice raising a little before she'd quickly shy away from it.*"The herbs I mean... Sorry..."*She'd absently rub at her arm.*"I've just been... Trying to find alternative healing techniques... It would be great if... You could show me different kinds of herbs... If... If you want to that is..."*It was probably the most speaking she was going to get out her really. Rare chances like these, Juna knew better than to let pass up in knowing there weren't too many that carried such knowledge she wanted to obtain.*
Joseph
Softs-kull would be impressed that someone wanted to learn how to find herbs like she would as she says "Alright then! I'll teach you a few that I know.". She'd the gesture Juna to follow into the woods from where she went before as she knew where some are from her sense of smell.
Michelle
*Juna would perk up slightly, her tail giving a light whisk to the side. She'd give a click of her tongue for Jace to follow after before having a steady hand on her Airstrider to help guide the bird along as she would follow the woman.*"Thank you..."*She'd murmur to her, a warm feeling of gratitude emanating in her.*
Joseph
They'd walk by the first plant she wanted to show her it looked like lavender she would say plucking it up as she showed it to her "This one helps you regain some stamina after a long day it's usually good for long hunts and walks usually.". She'd then head over to another area plucking another one that looks like a strange reddish fern as she says "This one would usually help with the healing process sometimes if you Brew it long enough it can even cure stomach aches!". She'd then Curiously look at a mushroom for the last one as she says "Now this one... Is either a tasty snack or a deadly poison... Snack... Or Poison..." She'd look at it furrowed eyes trying to think if this one is actually edible or not as she wagged her tail curious at it.
