*The Canifor would be laying prone atop the forest floor, a small piece of paper laying in front of her as she'd place an inked quill to it in preparing to write something. Her method for obtaining these two items, she'd admit were not the most ceremonious. In the months past she had grown to find it hard to go to the city, it's constant bustling noise and overwhelming people forced the Canifor into remaining in seclusion ever since she had stayed away to care for her bird. Now it was hard to go back, even knowing she made the promise to. She was lucky to find the paper casted out on the side of the road in whatever frustrations one has had in what they were writing on the other side. Juna simply decided to make use of it and gathered what writing pieces she could find to capture the knowledge she had previously obtained about the herbs she could try using.*

"She said... One looked like lavender and... It helped with stamina..."*She'd say aloud, trying to draw the plant as the woman described it.*"And another that was more read... That helped with bellyaches... Does that sound about right Juni?"*She wouldn't look up from what she was doing, though in hearing her name called, Juniper would lift her head up from whatever mischief she was getting to from chasing a vole into its hiding den. Her Airstrider had been more active lately, trying to catch her own prey when given opportunity much like Juna and Jace did, Jace being her Jackal that dozed not too far away in the faint sunlight. Juna wasn't sure if that was typical Airstrider behavior, but at least the bird knew how to get food for herself. Give or take some failed attempts.*

"Hm... I know there was another... One that... Looked like a clover I think... That's roots are supposed to be for helping..."*She'd trail off, trying to rack her brain of the memory of the lessons before they could fade too far away.*"Hm... I'm not too sure... Maybe I should just try using the ones she gave me as reference..."*The Canifor seemed to be distracted by the task in the meantime, as she'd get up to head over to the small pile of herbs she was given. Juna had been trying to take the time to learn them after her losing her ability to use magic over time. With healing no longer an option, this was her next best thing.*

How long had it been since she had ventured into a forest? Manju reminisced. It had been childhood, a place distant past. One unburdened by both responsibilities and... Adulthood, simply put. A small smile crossed her face. There was no doubt in her that she still carried such childlike wonder; after all, her eyes trailed through every edge and curve that it could perceive. Of course, she was searching for something. Something... Of great colour and scent. A flower. Outstretched, her fingers trailed the rough bark of trunks she passed by. Her feet slow to carry her from meter to meter. Both in hopes to make sure she didn't miss a single flower through her pass-by. The ones she did find were a quick pluck into her small glass bottle- one with a small amount of rain-water to keep the rooted flowers fresh. Currently, her assortment was few, and she was still fresh on her bout forward. It was a nice start to her adventure! Her mood was good, and she had not encountered a single problem in her so-called route. Nothing could be going better, really- and if something did go wrong, she had the tools to quickly adjust and make sure that her streak was not going to fall down the drain.

Today, though. Manju didn't feel the need to prepare such measures. So, she hummed. A little song that she had encountered right when she was to leave the country of Runra. She felt herself hit the notes, moving her body in tunes to the vocalized tunes that echoed within her mind, like second nature but not. There was still effort. One. Manju stepped over a thick root that threatened to trip her over- Two. A bit of a close call, but she avoided getting her head caught in a vine. Three... She stopped in her tracks. Was it a voice that she had just heard? Surely faint, but still existing. Curiosity started to pile up in the young fox- one that she could barely shake off from the years she had been chained by the responsibility and sense expected of an adult... "Oh, oh..?" She felt herself whisper out aloud. Was it excitement or giddiness that piled up in her stomach? "What a mischievous fox I am, to be eavesdropping like this..." The Higanbana moved closer to where she *Thought* The voice was coming from.

Like golden wisps, faint sunlight had crossed through her skin with each step she took forward. Manju's tall, form was only further silhouetted by the colourful clothing she had worn- contrasting against her pale skin with it's black and bright red accents. She had tried to peek from behind a tree trunk, but she was not a very stealthy person. Not at all...

*Juna's ears would raise up in her hearing the faint sound of humming. With her being busy with the current task, she didn't take it as any more than background noise at first, though with it gradually growing louder followed by the sound of movement, Juna would eventually lift her head up.*"Juniper?"*She'd question at first. The Airstrider would look up from the base of the tree she was pecking at, clearly more occupied in catch the animal hiding away in it. Of course it couldn't be Juniper, but if not her nor the dozing Jackal, then who-?

Her ears would swivel in the direction the sound was coming from, soon causing her to notice the person standing just behind the tree, watching her. Her heart would leap in her chest, forcing her to quickly drop the herbs to grab the staff she had left upon the ground. She held it defensively, eyeing the woman in practiced distrust when it came to people traveling through her forest, their intentions always unknown to her.*"Who are you-?"*She'd quickly snap, a hint of stammering in her tone to suggest her being taken by surprise.*"What business do you have here-?"
