*Juna gave a tired smile.* "Yeah... It's hard to really find a place to relax around here... The forest usually helps though. Most of the time people aren't able to find me as easily." *She said with a glint of amusement in emphasis of the last part. Juna repositioned herself so that she could lay back against the trunk of the tree, one leg partially crossed over another. Her tail hung loosely off the branch, swaying to the will of the wind as she listened to Jester's question.*

"It's been... Nearly a couple of years now." *She answered, thinking back to when she had first gotten Jace when she still lived with her parents.*

*Jester looks down at the Jackal* "They seems pretty chill when they arent threatening my life. I wanted a pet but my Dad-" *He spits out the word "Dad" Like a swear* "-never let me have one and there was no pets allowed in the bar. Maybe someday, something portable, a snake or bird maybe..." *He seems deep in thought* "I have another question if you don't mind"
Rodolfo
*Juna let out a quiet laugh at Jester's observation of Jace.*

"He's usually like that around new people or those he doesn't trust... Just have to give him some time and he'll come around... Once he's been giving his food offerings." *She said the last part as a joke, notable by the look of amusement she had while gazing down at her Jackal. As Jester pouted over not having a pet, Juna gave a light tilt to her head, more so as he mentioned potential pets he can have. She almost opened her mouth to ask a question before he stated having one of his own.*

"I don't mind... What's the question...?"
Chad
"What's it like bringing Jace around everywhere? You ever worry about him getting lost or something?"
Rodolfo
*Juna quieted as a small frown formed. She looked down, mostly at Jace as she didn't bring herself to look back at Jester.*

"I don't worry about him getting lost... He... Always manages to make his way back if he ever wanders too far but..." *Juna went silent. It wasn't Jace getting lost that she worried over, but rather something else that repeatedly made its way back to her thoughts ever since the moment at the tavern that lead to her being frozen in fear. Her ears lowered on the side of her head at the thought.*
Chad
*Jester frowns* "Oh Im sorry! I didn't mean to make you upset!" *Jester tilts his head* "Whatever it is, Jace looks tough. Im sure he can handle it" *He adjusts himself slightly on the branch* "And if anything happens, uh and it wont, let me know, ill teach who or whatever did it a lesson" *He smiles softly at her attempting to cheer her up*
Rodolfo
*Juna gazed at him, her look speaking sorrow through it. She didn't want to doubt the man's abilities though not even she could trust herself if it came down to being able to save her Jackal. There was always the notion of fear in her that the worst would come of her Jackal and nothing would be able to stop it, especially not her. Her capabilities were questionable in some situations, but she had to give Jester credit for believing in them more than Juna did. She forced a smile with her ears remaining flat atop her head.*

"Well... I don't know... I think Jace might have you matched there... He took on an entire owlbear by himself." *The half-truth was meant to lighten the mood, though instead it had only served to leave a more dreary feeling in her at the memory.*
Chad
"Impressive, but have you seen my uncle before his morning beer? Its a terrifying sight, known to petrify anyone who gazes their eyes upon that bare beer gut. I made it out alive, not many can say the same" *He wiggles his eyebrows and says all this in a weird voice. He tries desperately to lift the mood. His tail tail swishes back and forth with nervous energy*
