Stepping upon the hard dirt road that makes up many of the towns streets, she walks along the cobble stone sidewalk and enters the breadshop through the open door. Within the shop, the smell of cooked bread hangs in the air thick like molasses. Light streams in from the open door and through a large window, which has shutters upon it halfway closed. There's a large counter in front of her, and racks of bread lining the walls - what looks to be the finest bread is located on the other side of the counter. The counter is made of wood, and the rotund man leaning upon it looks middle aged and slightly bored. He perks up upon someone entering and puts on a false smile as he says "Welcome to my bread shop! What can I get you today?" There's a door behind the counter that's closed, and another that would likely lead out to the communal bakery area.

*As Juna made her way into the bakery, her senses would be flooded with the smell of bread. It was a nice scent, one that was new, rich, and refreshing compared to the smells she was more used to. Jace paced the room, investigating around the shop as he tried to find the source of the strong smell while Juna would make her way up to the counter at the greeting from the man behind it.*"Thank you... I was... Just wondering if I could have some... Sweet bread..."*Juna said in her normally quiet tone. Instead of focusing too long on the man, her eyes would travel to the rest of the shop, mostly falling upon the bread that lined the walls to which the sight alone was enough to cause her tail to give a calm wag. Oh how long has she had bread that seemed so fresh? She was not quite sure, but despite it, she couldn't help but feel the rekindled memories of such a treat.*

He pushes himself off the counter and walks over to one of the top-most racks nearby, pulling down a loaf of bread that seems especially golden compared to the other ones. Plopping it down onto the counter, even from here the smell is quite sweet. The man eyes the jackal and then states with a slight hint of fear in his tone "We don't accept animals in this establishment... If you could get him out here I'll be willing to do business." The loaf is small, about the size of someones forearm - but it's likely far higher quality then anything else she's ever seen before. If she gets jackal out of the establishment she will discover that the loaf coasts roughly 25 silver, pricey for a piece of bread but clearly this is something special - and deserving of such a cost.

"O... Oh..."*She said, gazing down at Jace. Her tail had went still for a bit as the man had asked her to remove the Jackal from the building. It was the first time she had found herself not being allowed to keep Jace in a building. Perhaps Mentia was simply different as such or maybe the man simply didn't like animals. Juna would give a click of her tongue to get Jace's attention and guide him over to her as she would take him back to the entrance way. As she would reach the door, Juna would allow for Jackal to eagerly run back outside only to realize that Juna wasn't following him which had caused him to return back to door with a look of confusion.*"Just wait here for now Jace..."*She whispered to him, giving a pat atop his head.*"I'll be right back..."*Closing the door, she could make out the sounds of Jace trying to scratch at it, letting out a series of barks to be let back in. Juna would turn her head away for now, making her way back to the counter as she would take notice of the price of the loaf. Though it seemed rather small for something to cost that much, maybe it tasted more of what it was worth. At least, Juna would hope so as she took the silver out and placed it on the counter. It was more than she made in a day hunting, but maybe a treat every now and then wasn't so bad. Especially since any other time she could simply catch her own food.*

The man snatches the silver up faster then an arrow and pushes the loaf of bread closer to Juna. Counting the coins in his hand he grins smugly and states "Will that be all? We have *Plenty* Of other different kinds of bread here if you find any others interesting..." He nods to one wall and continues "The breads over there are some of the most expensive in the store. The finest grain was made with them, fit only for nobility but i'm willing to make an exception for a *Single* Gold coin." Quite expensive, but likely what the nobility of this region pay each day to obtain high quality breads. Though, one must wonder if high quality always translates into good taste - quite often the "White" Breads the nobles eat are little more then dead calories, with no nutrients or substance beyond their expensive quality. The baker looks on expectantly, almost hoping for Juna to decide to splurge a bit after how much she was willing to give now.

*Juna would slowly grab the piece of bread, bringing it close to her before she finally picked it up and sniffed at it. As the baker began showering her with suggestions of what else she could buy from here with all the different and more expensive types of bread, she would give a shake of her head.*"No... No thank you... This is enough..."*Juna says. In reality, she simply wanted to get back to Jace and share some of the bread with him for being relatively good this whole trip. She didn't think it very fair to have to leave him outside after all of that. Besides, she didn't need the most expensive bread anyways. She was far from nobility and was humble enough just to enjoy a small sample of the bread they had. Even if it wasn't the best, Juna didn't need much of it. After all, she was capable of hunting for more food if she needed it.*"Thanks... Thanks for the bread..."*She would say before turning away and heading back to the door to head outside.*
Larry
He shrugs in response, returns to his former position, and let's out a content sigh. The door opens back up into the streets, clouds have begun to move across the sky and seemingly in response to the threat of rain there are far less people on the streets. The bread is still warm in her hands, as if it had just finished cooking recently. If she bites into it she'd find it tastes exceptionally sweet, clearly sweetened with honey with hints of cinnamon. It's very crumbly however, and it's likely some of it would fall to the ground - Jace would likely eat whatever falls to the ground. If she gives Jace the bread, unbeknownst to her, the overly sweetness of the bread would likely lead to quite the stomach ache later on for the beast. Regardless, it seems that if they stay outside for any longer eating bread that they will be taking an involuntary shower.

*As Juna was greeted with her Jackal once more, she would lower herself to the ground to give him a light pet on the head. Carefully she would break off a small piece of the bread, about half the size of the palm of her hand and would allow Jace to eat away at it.*"You've been such a good boy Jace..."*She whispers as she would eventually stand back up and take a bite of the bread herself. The sweetness of it was definitely more than she would expected, but still flavorful enough as it was. Gazing up at the sky, she would watch as the clouds began to cover it. Juna never cared much for the rain, though she would much prefer that the bread didn't get soggy from it.*"Maybe... We should go inside somewhere..."*She says to Jace while the Jackal had quickly finished his piece of bread and was sniffing at her for more.*"Let's go Jace-"*She would say, making her way down the road at a more quickened pace. It was too bad they couldn't have taken shelter in the bakery, though maybe there was a tavern they could sit in if the weather were to get too bad. Seeing his owner quickly moving on, Jace would follow after her, soon taking the lead once more along the much emptier streets.*
