"You don't... Think something could have gotten to them... Do you...?"*She asked her. Surely not. There were hardly any other animals out here. At least as far as she could see. This forest always seemed so peaceful, at least before the bear showed up. Juna watched Ivy climb up the stalks to look about, waiting for a sign that they were out there. Behind her, Juna felt the warm radiation of the campfire begin to die down and as she turned to look back, it had completely dissipated. Something wasn't right. She shuddered at the feeling of a cold breeze brushing by, whisking away the previous warmth of flame and spiritual presence. Her fur remained bushed, both from the temperature and feeling shaken from the panda encounter. What if, it was a bad omen of sorts? Even Ivy seemed a bit concerned in angering the spirits.*"Let's look for them."*Juna quickly said, the grip on her staff tightening. She gazed out into the gloomy forest, her ears lowering slightly in not realizing just how dark it seemed.*

*She climbed back down the bamboo and went back to the fire grabbing a piece of charcoal.* "I can give you a light that follows you if you'd like? I myself have decent night vision.." *She lit the charcoal and it became a floating orb of fire.* "I need you to accept it to give it to you..."
Jerry
*Juna's dark brown eyes illuminated in the glow of the fire orb. How easily it was conjured up left her both amazed and saddened at the thought that she could no longer do such herself. She had decent night vision as well, though the light source made her feel a little better with it around.*"I'll accept it..."*She murmured as if she was afraid of someone or something listening out to them right now. Juna held out her hands to take the orb, one ear angled to the side to listen out for any sign of her animals or any other creature that could lead them to danger. Still nothing.*
Robert
*She nodded and went back to the bamboo, climbing back up. She looked around and sighed as she didn't see them.* "You lead the way? I'll stay up here and see if I can see your bird in the sky." *She jumped to the next bamboo and looked around again, hopeful. Her religious charms on her mask swayed in the breeze and her ears were on high alert to any noise or sign of them.*

*She felt calmer then she usually did. Maybe it was because she was trying to stay calm for Juna? She tried not to pay too much attention to it and instead focused on looking for her lost companions.*
Jerry
*Juna watched her climb back up the stalk of bamboo, part of the Canifor not wanting to be alone down here, though she decided against saying anything to prevent Ivy from trying to find anything from above. With it seeming like she'd have to continue on foot alone, she walk onwards down the invisible path. One hand kept the orb of light close, while the other gripped the staff tightly. The campsite was gradually becoming history behind her and, only then, did the full warmth of it fade. Not just externally but internally as well. A dreary mood encased her, but she was not quite sure why.*"See anything?"*She asked up to Ivy when the quiet got too much for her, mainly listening out to make sure Ivy didn't full vanish while she remained at ground level.*
Robert
"Not yet..." *Her three tails moved to keep her balance on the bamboo as she moved from stalk to stalk. The pain killer was now in full effect and she was grateful for it. Jumping like this would be much more painful otherwise. She made a mental note to check her bruises later when she had a time of calm. She looked down at Juna again and noticed how unsettled she was. There was a strange energy among them...* "Do you feel that energy, or is that just me?" *She hoped talking about it would maybe help Juna feel less alone or perhaps even coax it out.*
Jerry
"You... Feel something too...?"*She asked Ivy, part of her scared of what the answer might be. If Ivy felt something, then maybe there truly was something out here to worry about. Juna didn't have time to listen for a response however. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a small bit of movement. Almost instinctively she turned her head, though upon doing so, she couldn't seem to find anything. She wanted to open her mouth to call up to Ivy, but before she could, she noticed another bit of movement. It was so faint, almost as if a patch of darkness itself was shifting throughout the night. She held her tongue and the movement stopped. Another pause, and then it moved again. Squinting her eyes, Juna could almost make out a sort of figure, moving ever so gracefully past the small ferns of grass that grew along the stalks of bamboo. She couldn't pick up anything malicious about it despite the coldness of the area that surrounded her and, without second thought, she decided to slowly follow after it.*
Robert
*She followed her unsure of what was going on. There was a loud aura around however that she could feel.* "Juna??? Juna!!?"
Jerry
*For the moment Juna didn't seem to respond, transfixed on the movements of the shadow as it blinked in and out of view for her. It grew still at one point only to suddenly dart off. Without second thought, Juna picked up the pace to follow after it, not wanting to suddenly lose whatever this blur was. Its movements were much easier to see now with how quick it was moving, even the small grasses bent at its disturbance. This thing must be real somehow, right? She kept chasing after it, not paying attention to just how far away she was traveling into the forest when all of a sudden the blur came to a stop. Juna skidded to a halt almost immediately, but by the time she had reached the place it had ran to, it was gone. The Canifor let out a tired breath of air, the run suddenly catching up to her all at once. She looked around the area, unfamiliarity crossing her gaze as she couldn't see where the figure had disappeared to. She waited a few moments longer, only for ears to droop a bit.*"It's... Gone..."*She eventually said. What was the point of chasing after it? Now she felt even more lost. How stupid could she be?*

```And back again...```

*Juna came up behind Ivy, trying to pick up on any aura that could signify her still being in a foul mood, but she couldn't seem to trace anything with the battle now gone.*"I'm... Sorry Ivy..."*She said in quiet apology, rubbing at her arm in embarrassment.*"I... Saw this figure and I thought I should have followed it... But... I was wrong... And stupid for it..."
Robert
*As her scar began to calm she breathed out a breath of relief. She looked to Juna and took a moment to sigh again before answering.* "It was drawing you in... I don't think you could have controlled that..." *She was extremely grateful that the demon had ceased as she most likely would have snapped at her.* "We should probably get the hell out of here... This is not the place to camp tonight." *She did her best to smile, but only managed to upturn her lips. She began to walk away but then dawned on her and her eyes widened.* "YOUR COMPANIONS!!" (Bro I remembered irl here too lol).
