"But I-."*She paused, ears slowly lowering in exasperation. It was starting to look like she wasn't going to be able to shake the woman of the idea. Why did she have to say something? Juna let out a quiet sigh. Seemed like she'll be having the company, whether she wanted her to come along on the potentially pointless spirit trip or not.*"Alright..."*She said quietly. Maybe it was the universe sending her another wolf guide like the Tholian she had met. This one, a lot perkier about it through. Or maybe it was just wishful thinking at this point.*

"Don't look so upset, Juna. It'll be fine, eet's be'ah if we go togetha."
The Dog saw the way her Canifor friend responded to her suggestion — naturally knowing the tells of distrust and dismay. Evenmore so in a Canifor, because those tells were the same as her own. Ear and tail posture was a big tell-sign for any canine race. Carlyn walked up to Juna and held her hand out for a handshake. She was going to try and lift her spirits (no pun intended) with some encouraging words, a handshake, and a nice smile.

"You can put y'ah trust in me, friend. Togetha we can do anythin'. We don't *Haft* To be alone."
Faviola
*Juna slowly reached her hand out to shake Carlyn's, deciding to let herself relax a bit. Carlyn was right, worst case they didn't find anything. But if they did? Juna wasn't quite sure what to expect.*"Okay... I'll admit I'm... Not too sure where to start looking... I tried searching these forests for a while, but... I've hardly seen any animals out here... It's... A lot different than the forests I'm used to..."*Juna explained, more accustomed to the leafy greens of the forest than the plain green stalks of these much different trees. Legends say that there was an animal that roamed about eating them, but she found it so hard to imagine.*
Neil
"Well, I did say we didn't *Heft* To look for the thing, if you don't want to. I just meant in gen'ral, y'know? It would be be'ah if we travelled together for a bit for both of our safety." Carlyn replied, shaking Juna's hand gently. After a moment, she left go and pulled her hand back to her side. For a moment, Carlyn thought about what she said. She had wondered how long Juna had been on her search for this elusive wolf, that was so elusive enough to elicit searching *Several* Forests to find it. It really *Did* Pique her interest, after all, and the look on her face confirmed such an interest.
Faviola
"Travel together?"*She questioned almost as if she thought she misheard. When was the last time she really traveled from place to place? Maybe getting a chance to look around Runra more would be a good thing. After all, she still had a lot to learn.*"It's been... A while since I've really traveled..."*She said, her tail soon wagging lightly behind her.*"I... Think I'd like that..."*Perhaps her first real friend in this place. It was much better than having an enemy she supposed.*"I... Haven't gotten the chance to explore much of Runra but... It... Looks pretty nice from what I've seen..."
Neil
"The'a yah go. Finally catchin' on." Carlyn said, placing her hands on her hips and giving this grin to Juna, "I don't ca'e about something yah don't want to do. I only ca'e about having someone to accompany me. Goin' with people is always nice, better to be with someone than be alone."

Carlyn seemed to share the same tail-wagging enthusiasm that Juna had, especially once the Canifor caught onto the general idea of what her own idea was.
"Explorin' Runra is exactleh why I came he'a. I got bored at home, I'mma me'chant under my parent's business in Kadho. Gets borin' sometimes, so I'll go on my own little adventurahs to see the world and find stuff to do. We could sha'e that adventurah. Discovah new things and places, meet new people, gain new powah, and just generally enjoy the company of someone other than your animals, and in my case, no one."
Faviola
*The idea seemed nice in Juna's eyes, trying to imagine traveling for something other than rushing to get somewhere, whether that be away from people or towards them.*"Well... I guess I was hoping to see if... Maybe this place could teach me a few things about..."*She glanced over towards her bird.*"Airstrider riding... And... Maybe a little bit about magic..."*Juna whispered the last part, knowing full well she had lost some connection with it that had rendered her unable to use her previous spells. Maybe learning how to resummon her spirit wolves could help bring her closer to where the one wolf wandered off to. Or if not at least she could get her magic back. Hopefully.*
Neil
Carlyn's ears twitched at the sounds of her whispering, giving Juna an insightful nod.
"I s'ppose I figure this place could teach me more about the world outside of Kadho. This is the fa'thest I've ever been from my home. I guess there's a lot for me to learn, too. Maybe I'll try tah pick up Airstroidah ridin' as a hobby. Don't really see myself riding one of those berds into combat." She jested, giving a quiet giggle to the idea of using one as a warmount. It was feasible, but it might look a little silly — at least to her.

"I guess that settles it. We'll go togetha, till we... Ah... Well, I'm not sure till when, maybe *Not* Till when, we'll just keep goin' till we can't anymore."
Faviola
*With the idea settled on, Juna gave a light nod. Reaching down, she picked up her bag and threw it over her shoulder, deciding to use her staff as a sort of walking stick for the time being.*"Do you know where you want to visit first?"*She asked Carlyn in a tone of curiosity. Only then had her Airstrider finally looked up at the two with her bird feed now history. Gentle chirps escaped her beak, probably sharing the sense of curiosity though for a reason completely different as her wings flapped wildly at her side. It only served to cause her feathers to ruffle up but it was enough to get a bark out of Jace at her.*
Neil
Carlyn watched the two animals seemingly bicker with each other for just a moment, what, with Jace yapping at Juniper for presumably being a dumb, annoying bird. She stifled and laugh to respond to Juna, looking at her friend and saying, "No whe'a in particulah. I'll go where you go, y'obviously got some sorta *Goal* H're, unlike me. I'm just h're to take it all in. You got plans in mind, things to learn, and such. I'm content followin' and observin'. The'a's a lot learn from experience alone."

Carlyn adjusted her spear on her back, looking behind her and quietly asking, "Do you... Ah... Know where we are, though. I don't really remember the way I came from. Or... Where anything *Ees* For that mattah."
Faviola
*Juna let out a quiet laugh, soon turning around to face a non specific direction before pointing towards it with her staff.*"This is the way I came through... It leads to the city near the coast. I don't really have an actual home here so... I just spend a lot of my time in the forests when I don't visit the marketplace. I... Try not to spend too much time out here... I've been... Told it isn't really good for me..."*She explained.*
Neil
"Well, you know more n' I do about this place, so that's good." Carlyn replied with a nod, "Although I would take that advice with a grain of salt, although I heft to agree. Populated places are both good 'n bad for yah health, although I can understand tryna steer away from them because of bad past interactions. Someone mugged yah or something and yah lost trust in the marketplaces. As a me'chant, I've been robbed plenty a times. It happens."

Carlyn paused for a moment to think, and then asked, "You gotta map? We could make plans on where to head to from the'a. I just roam 'till I eventually find m'way back to whereva I came from, no real need for a map."
Faviola
"No..."*She answered, feeling a bit disappointed in not considering getting one. Not that she was the best at reading maps in the first place.*"I... Mostly been visiting the town for... Seasonings and other things to help with cooking... I've... Never really thought about... Getting a map of the place... Do you... Think we should get one... I don't think I'm the best at... Following them sometimes..."
Neil
"Well, it would at least allow us to see what's *Ne'a*, and we could eventually find our way the'a. Roamin' around without a place in min'll let us get somewhere, but nowhe'a in pa'ticulah. It's best if we had a guide in the form of a map."

She thought about it a bit more, and then asked, "You cook? Well, I should'a guessed so, you seem like a lone typa' person, so I should'a figured you cook for y'self too."
That was a good improvement to her plan. While Carlyn could cook so-so, she wasn't particularly the best. Having someone with her who was not only sweet but can also *Cook?* What a miracle. She definitely seemed happy about that.
Faviola
"Well... I cook whatever I hunt... I haven't really learned how to use spices until a friend showed me recently..."*Juna reached into her bag, pulling out a small cylindrical container of what looked to be a red powder.*"I... Don't really know what it is but... It smelled like the same kind of things my friend used in her dishes... I...Really liked the smell and thought I'd get it..."*While Juna never really learned how to use her nose as most Canifors would, things like food and spices always seemed to catch her attention more often than she realized.*
