*Juna's ears would flick at the response. She could think of a few acquaintances that could very well be friends, though it was hard to tell at times.*"You have your boyfriend."*She pointed out to Adeliza, not that she really needed to. It was more of her trying to reassure Adeliza that she did have a friend in a way. Juna didn't know her too well to consider her a friend yet, knowing very well how quickly people can turn, but an acquaintance was alright as well.*
Racheal
"I suppose you are right. Him and I are very close but, especially when he's gone, I want to see and talk to other people who I would consider friends" *Addy didn't have much experience with friends but before her and her boyfriend started dating they had become friends and she enjoyed that which made her want to have that same friendship with other people*
Bradley
*Juna's tail would slowly wave back and forth in a sort of calm movement.*"Well you may be looking in the wrong place..."*Juna would attempt to say in a joking tone.*"The forests are mostly filled with animals... Though they're not the best conversationalists..."*The Canifor would offer a friendly smile before eventually refocusing on her Jackal who seemed to be chasing away a group of birds.*
Racheal
*She would giggle at her joke* "I mean you're not wrong" *She would then stop leaning against the tree* "Wanna go for a walk on the sand? We don't have to go near the water" *She would say, mindful of how Juna didn't exactly like the water*
Bradley
*Juna stared out at the sand, partially hesitating with how easily it could cling to her fur and clothes, leaving a mess of grains she'd have to deal with later. But, how bad could a simple walk be?*"I... I guess I can..."*She'd respond before coming to stand back up.*"But I'll have to return back to my camp after..."
Racheal
"Can i come with you?" *She would say as she looked over at Juna* "My boyfriend won't be back for a few days but if you don't want me to come, I totally understand"
Bradley
"It's..."*Juna paused for a moment as if trying to find the right words.*"Not really a place to visit..."*She'd say. There were times when Juna would show people to the camp out of the reassurance that they wouldn't try attacking her, though now with the events that had taken place in the forest, it was probably better that she didn't tell every friendly passerby where she lived.*
Racheal
"Oh i see... Well i have enjoyed your company and i was wondering if maybe you wanted to meet here every few days? I see that jace really likes it here" *She would say looking out at the water and jace again*
Bradley
*Juna would let out a quiet laugh at the wet Jackal as he would shake out his fur before sniffing along the ground where the birds once were.*"Yeah... Yeah I suppose you're right... But... I'm not too sure if I'll be able to soon..."*She'd say before slowly drawing the pack off of her back before opening it up to show the large egg inside.*"You see I've had Eggbert for a while and I believe it may be due to hatch soon... Well hopefully..."*She says.*"I'm not sure if I can promise to come back here for some time..."
Racheal
"Oh i see well it looks like you'll be like a mom soon" *She would smile warmly at juna* "But yes you'll definitely have to take care of it all the time so i totally understand if we cannot see each other for a little while but do let me know if i can help at all"
Bradley
*Her body warmed at the thought. Juna a mother? No, the Airstrider would simply be another travel companion of hers. She quickly shook her head, though found herself unable to hide the smile. There was a sense of gratitude in Adeliza's offer to help to which Juna would dip her head.*"Thank you... I...Well you'll know where to find me... I patrol this place quite often..."*As she spoke, she would slowly close the bag with the egg inside.*"Maybe you can even be there when it hatches... But... I worry it might not sometimes..."
Racheal
"Well with the love you have for it, i'm sure it'll want to hatch and be with you for the entirety of its life. And as for the help, i'll come here every few days or whenever i have the time. Now that i know jace likes the jerky i'll bring some more for him and next time, i'll bring a little something for you too" *She would smile at her*
Bradley
"I'm sure one day he'll get used to you enough to eat from your hand... Well maybe used to you... Jace can be a bit stubborn when the food isn't tossed to him."*She'd say with a giggle. At Adeliza comment of bringing her something, she'd say:*"Oh you don't have to... It was nice enough for you to... Well put up with Jace... I've been trying to teach him to be nicer when greeting but... Well you saw how he is..."
Racheal
*She would giggle at her first comment about jace* "When he's calm and comfortable he can be a bit like a puppy but it's cute. Does he like being pet?" *As for the comment about her bringing something* "I know i don't have to but i want to. It's alright he was just being protective which is good because not everyone you meet is going to be super nice"
Bradley
"Well maybe if he's distracted by food... I...I don't think it would be the safest attempt because he does tend to nip..."*She'd answer. With Adeliza saying that she simply wanted to bring something, Juna didn't try to argue and instead simply replied with a quiet:*"Thank you..."*Not quite meeting Adeliza's gaze as she typically didn't with people.*
Racheal
"Ah okay that does make sense" *She would look out at the water once more* "It's a beautiful day today"
Bradley
"Yeah... It really is..."*She'd say with a soft sigh soon followed by a click of her tongue as she called Jace over. The Jackal would turn his head and run over, wet fur and all only to make his way over to them and quickly shake out his fur to rid himself of the water droplets.*
Racheal
*She would giggle as he did that she would put her hands up over face so that the water wouldn't get on her* "He's adorable" *She would then turn to her* "Well is this where we part ways for now?" *She didn't really want juna to leave but she knew she was going to be able to see her soon*
Bradley
"Yeah... I suppose I've stayed longer than I meant to..."*She'd say, rubbing her arm slightly before gazing back to the forest.*"I'm sure we'll meet again soon though... Perhaps even when Eggbert hatches..."*The Canifor offered a light smile before it soon faded as she turned to gesture for Jace to go run on ahead to which the Jackal would do in a bout of excitement.*
Racheal
"Would you like me to go back with you or will you be alright?" *She would watch jace run off ahead*
Bradley
"It's... It's okay... I know my way back to camp from here..."*She'd reassure, more so since she wasn't really planning on leading Adeliza back to her campsite.*"You should... Continue to enjoy your stroll..."
Racheal
"Alright but stay safe, okay?" *She would smile at her before she would start to walk towards the water, glancing back every now and then to see if juna was still there*
Bradley
"I'll try..."*She'd say with a smile before turning away. For a while, Juna could be seen following the invisible path they originally took to get here before the Canifor would blend into her surroundings once more and vanish all together.*
