*Again the Uto would deflate, though managed to flash a solitary smile, a hollow brightness to it as his eyes wavered.*
"Well... Thank you. I am being unreasonable when I say this has been very special to me. You are the first stranger I've met in my life, and I won't forget you."
Michelle
*Juna would give a dip of her head, offering a smile back.*"I won't forget you either..."*She'd say.*"If you ever wish to visit you know where to find me..."*She had almost cut herself off at that part, knowing full well the dangers of the woods alone. Besides, she'll have a hatchling to raise one day. Maybe it was best she secluded herself to care for them, but she didn't want the bird to think that she cared any less.*"Enjoy yourself in the Capitol and..."*Again another pause before she'd continue.*"If you find any nice treats... I...I wouldn't mind a few... Just... Just if you ever decide to visit..."*The Canifor didn't want to sound so demanding, but she supposed she did give him the rest of her jerky. Maybe it wouldn't sound like asking too much.*

"I will bring gifts. But it will not be soon. I wish to find my siblings, at least one of them, before anything else. They have much to answer for."
*Kynia returned, his tone returning to it's usual flatness, the smile unfading as he nodded to her. Reciprocating with a low bow, fanning out his wings in a show of respect.*
Michelle
*Juna would give an awkward courtesy back, never really being good at the more regal way of greeting and saying goodbye. She'd take one receding step back.*"Farewell..."*She paused once more, realizing that they hadn't properly introduced each other.*"Uto..."*She'd finally say, deciding to use his species name before turning away to head further forest.*
Thomas
"Fare thee well, Canifor. May the winds carry you far and high."
*He'd have the last word as he turned towards the grand city, taking a deep breath to steady his nerves. Here we stand, in front of the world... It waited.*
