Racheal
*Adeliza would be taking a casual stroll through the forest, enjoying the sounds of the nature around her*
Bradley
*From high up in the trees, a Canifor would rest atop a branch with an egg nestled securely in her arms.*"Do you like it better up here...?"*She'd ask it despite knowing very well it wouldn't respond. The Canifor wasn't aware of another wandering close to her camp as the ground was far below, mostly being patrolled by her loyal Jackal.*
Racheal
*She would continue to stroll but she would ensure that her guard was up. Every once in a while, she would stop and observe her surroundings for any signs of life*
Bradley
*Down far below, Jace would pace along the ground, his ears soon rising as picked the sound of someone walking nearby. The Jackal lowered himself to the ground, slinking his way through the underbrush towards Macen. It was only but a growl that signified his presence as he drew near only for him to suddenly dart out of the bushes towards her with a bark of warning.*
Racheal
*She would stop moving and as she didn't want to anger the animal further, she would remain calm and turn to face it, trying to calm it down*
Bradley
*Juna's ears would raise at the sound of the barking as she gazed down towards the two from where she sat. Her eyes widened slightly, soon finding herself scrambling to put her egg back in her bag and get her bow off from around her. Jace meanwhile didn't hesitate, coming to lunge at the Macen, more so going for her clothes as he would try to drag her down to his level or perhaps it was simply an easier grip for him.*
Racheal
*She would dodge before he could jump on her and she would look directly at him as she sat on the ground, trying to engage in a peaceful encounter* "Easy buddy, easy" *She would take out a little bit of meat jerky from her bag and she would lay it out on the ground in front of her* "See? I come in peace. I mean no harm"
Bradley
*The Jackal stood his ground, his teeth bared at her. However with the scent of Jerky soon reaching his nose, the Jackal would stay where he was. Juna watched the scene below her, carefully climbing down from one branch to another until she had managed to find a more low hanging one that was stable enough for her to stand on.*"It's not very safe here to be wandering the forest..."*Juna would say in a quiet voice from where she came to sit squat on the branch. If Adeliza were to turn her head quick enough she'd be able to see the features of the Canifor, however if not, she would find herself having difficulty of making out Juna as her camouflage kept her practically impossible to see with any lack of movement.*
Racheal
*She would quickly look to see where the voice came from and she would indeed spot a figure* "Well i was only here for a little stroll" *She would turn her head back to the Jackal and she would place more jerky on the ground for him*
Bradley
*The Jackal would slowly trail forward to pick up the jerky and snack down on it while he eyed Adeliza. Juna remained where she was, considering Jace calmed for now.*"It's probably safer if you stay in the Capitol... There's been a lot of crime here lately..."*The Canifor warned. Though she figured it best to stay in a city where many others were around, she was aware that crimes most likely happened there just as much, but Juna could only assume it was better than getting attacked all alone in the woods.*
Racheal
"Seems like you know your way around these parts" *She would look at the jackal with a warm smile on her face and she would hold her hand out to him for him to sniff it so that he could be at ease that she really wasn't going to do any harm*
Bradley
*Seeing the lady reach out her hand to him, he would quickly back away with a growl of warning.*"Jace."*She'd say with a click of her tongue.*"Come."*The Jackal turned away from Adeliza, trotting over to sit under the tree Juna was resting in.*"I know it well enough to get to Salvania and back..."*She said in partial truth.*"If you would like I can... Escort you out of here... But you shouldn't try coming back..."
Racheal
"Actually... I don't really want to go back... At least... Not at the moment" *She would remain where she was as she didn't want to anger the jackal any more*
Bradley
*Her ears lowered slightly at the decline, but Juna wasn't much of one to debate.*"Well... Alright..."*She said, coming to stand up on the branch.*"Stay safe out here... I've witnessed multiple ambushes around these parts..."
Racheal
"Well actually I did want to travel to a beach and um I was wondering if you'd like to join me? You see... I could really use a friend..." *She would be able to sense that she was sad and so, she wanted to make her happy as she doesn't like seeing those around her unhappy*
Bradley
*One of Juna's ears would raise back up in that look of confusion she usually gave.*"The... Beach...?"*She asked in a questioning tone. The Canifor never favored going near the water, though she had visited the coast from time to time.*
Racheal
"Mhm! I find the beach to be particularly calming, not to mention, the sunsets there are beautiful" *She would say as she closed her eyes and pictured the view with a warm smile on her face*
Bradley
*Juna turned her gaze in a seemingly random direction, her ears raised as she listened out for something.*"I... Suppose I can take you there at least..."*She said in partial agreement. At the very least Jace seemed to enjoy the water, even if the Canifor didn't.*
Racheal
*Addy was very happy with her response* "But will you stay there with me for a little while?" *She would say as she slowly and cautiously stood up*
Bradley
*Juna's eyes traveled to the egg resting in her bag as if lost in thought for a while.*"Yeah I... I guess I can stay for just a little while..."*She turned in the direction she originally looked in before coming to walk along the branch and hop down from it with surprising grace.*"It's this way..."*She said with an incline of her head before she began to walk off.*
Racheal
*She would nod as she jogged to her before walking at her pace. She wanted to engage in some small talk but she wasn't exactly sure how to start* "You and your jackal have quite a beautiful relationship"
Bradley
*Juna seemed to be following a trail through the woods, her sense of navigation mostly being in memory of visiting the coast at least once.*"Yeah... I've had him ever since he was a puppy... He's pretty helpful on hunts but... A bit too helpful any other time..."*She'd respond to her quietly.*
Racheal
"Oh I see but he's also much like a travel companion, no?" *She would turn to look at her* "Oh by the way, I'm Adeliza"
