Bradley
"Yeah I suppose so, though sometimes I prefer to stay around camp over traveling..."*She said, not averting her gaze from the trail ahead.*"Well more so as of lately..."*With Adeliza introducing herself, Juna would soon do the same.*"I'm Juna... And this... Is Jace..."*She says, gesturing down to the Jackal following at her side.*
Racheal
"It's nice to meet you" *She would smile as she held out another piece of jerky for jace* "I also prefer to stay at home but if I ever go out, it's either to go into the city to buy things or to visit the beach"
Bradley
*Jace would look at the piece of jerky, not making a move towards it despite his wanting of the treat as he kept at his owner's side. Juna would stoop down a bit and give him a small pat on the head.*"I think I prefer the forest really..."*She'd say, coming to a stop before suddenly making a turn on the path to go off trail.*"It's like my home away from home... A beach well... I guess... It's just a bit to much water for me..."
Racheal
*She would hand the jerky over to juna so that she could give it to jace as she understood it would take time for jace to be more comfortable around her* "That makes sense. I love the forest too because of the wonderful sounds of nature but I think I'm more of a water gal" *She would giggle a little bit*
Bradley
*Juna would take the jerky, tossing it ahead of her only for Jace to run after it and snack down on it.*"Give him time..."*To Adeliza's response of her preference Juna would keep quiet for a while. A loss in thought or perhaps she simply didn't have anything to say.*"The coast is this way..."*She'd respond eventually, coming over what look like a short ridge that parted the forest into the sandy shoreline beyond it. Juna had only been here a couple times, namely whenever she met up with someone, though it still was nice sight.*
Racheal
*She would nod as she followed quietly* "Thank you" *Even though they hadn't reached yet, addy was very thankful for juna's help in getting her to the beach and for giving her some lovely company*
Bradley
*Juna would give a nod in response at the gratitude before slowly climbing her way down the short ridge until her shoes had managed to reach the sand. Her Jackal, having just finished his treat would run off ahead, coming to bound over the ridge easily and race off towards the coastline. While Juna was more timid around the water, Jace had no such nervousness.*
Racheal
*She would giggle at jace* "He is quite adorable" *She would hold out her hand to juna as if offering her some comfort*
Bradley
"Yeah he... Likes the water... A bit too much for his own good..."*She'd say. As Adeliza would reach her hand out to her, Juna would glance at it for a moment before turning to look back out at the water where Jace had managed to submerge himself.*"Well we're here... You can... Go have fun on the beach..."*She'd say before sitting down at the edge of it.*"I'll keep watch for a while, but I'll have to return to my camp soon..."
Racheal
"You remind me of someone I know" *She would say as she awkwardly retreated her hand and looked out at the water*
Bradley
*Juna's ears flicked at the response, it being the first time someone has said that to her.*"Who?"*She would ask in slight curiosity.*
Racheal
"Well he's my boyfriend" *She would lean against a tree as she looked out at the water* "He loves the forest just like you and isn't much of a fan of water either"
Bradley
"Oh..."*She'd say in response. Juna could find it understandable for the disliking a water and whatnot, though it was rather odd that Adeliza traveled alone despite entitling him as such.*"Does he not usually come with you during your strolls?"*She'd ask in curiosity. Down below Jace would have climbed back out of the water, quickly shaking out his soggy fur before going back to run along the coastline as he barked at the shifting tides of water.*
Racheal
"He does sometimes but he does often go out travelling to other cities since he is a merchant" *She would smile at Jace's behaviour* "Plus sometimes one does need a bit of alone time, wouldn't you agree?"
Bradley
"Yes... I suppose so..."*She'd agree. Even though she could see what Adeliza meant, the Canifor always had her Jackal in her company. Without him she'd had no idea what to do. Eventually Juna would turn to look over to her asking:*"Why did you want me to accompany you?"*With Adeliza claiming a want of alone time, it made Juna wonder if she'd be disturbing it by being here, but perhaps she simply wanted the Canifor to keep an eye out.*
Racheal
"Well sometimes I don't like being left alone with my thoughts for too long since I tend to think very deeply about things. Besides, I had enough alone time on the way to the forest and while walking through it before I met you and Jace. I could also use a friend since I don't have any of those..." *She would say the last bit kind of softly as she turned to look over at her with a soft but sad smile*
