*Juna went still as she heard the sounds of someone traveling through the forest. Her hand instinctively went to her bow before she had eventually caught sight of Jester swinging through the trees. At first she wasn't quite sure what to make of the sight, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion at how carefree he seemed. Finding herself once more, Juna would slowly creep back along the branch to hide behind the more shielded covering of the leaves that grew along the tree. She wasn't sure what to make of this person, though she couldn't bring herself to confront a potential enemy masked behind a more playful exterior.*
Chad
*Jester, still singing around, senses some movement. He swings himself at a tree trunk. He uses his tail to whip his body around in midair. He then kicks off the trunk straight at the movement. He tucks and rolls, stumbling a little bit almost falling flat on his face. He clearly thought it looked cooler than it did. He looked up and saw a stranger a few feet away* "Hiya! "
Rodolfo
*Juna kept silent as she watched him trapeze along the trunks of the trees only coming to move as she saw he was coming straight towards her. She reached down for her dagger, expecting an attack. Juna stopped right as she saw the man stumble and nearly fall in misstep. The Canifor stifled a laugh at their clumsiness, staring down at him from where she sat in the safety of the nook of the tree she was in. Her head tilted to the side as he spoke to her and eventually she responded.*

"Hello..." *Her tone was quiet and carried little, but she seemed friendly enough.* "What are you doing...?"
Chad
*Jester smiles nervously, embarrassed* "Oh me? Nothin, just practicing, training a bit, making sure I stay in shape and ready to take anything on!" *He lies. He was goofing around but tries (poorly) to hide it. The jackal catches his eye and Jester stumbles back a few steps, his tail puffing up. He looks back up at the stranger* "My question is what are *You* Doing?" He tries his best to ignore the jackal and focus on the nice looking stranger in the tree*
Rodolfo
*Jace glared at Jester from beneath covering brush of the ferns he stood in. From his throat came a low growl as he slowly advanced towards him. Juna gazed down at her Jackal, making a clicking noise with her tongue to get his attention.*

"Here Jace." *She said, inclining her head to call him over. With a grumble, the Jackal turned away from Jester and made his way to the base of the tree to where his owner sat. Juna eventually looked back at Jester, saying:* 

"Sorry about my Jackal... He doesn't really trust many people..." *There was a pause in her words as she regarded Jester's earlier response about him training, thinking it over before answering his question.* "I'm just exploring really... I wanted to see if I could maybe expand my hunting grounds..."
Chad
*Jester's eyes light up at the world exploring* "Oh your exploring too? Im actually trying to explore a bit myself! I wasn't allowed to but my uncle finally let me go!" *He calms himself down a bit, trying to not get over excited* "What exactly do you hunt?" *He looks back and forth between her and Jace, making sure he doesn't make any sudden moves*
Rodolfo
*Juna couldn't help but be confused by the man's carefree attitude. Anytime she even so much as let her guard down for too long, she was bound to get attacked and yet here he was frolicking through the woods with no care in the world.*

"Well..." *She said slowly at first as if to find the words.* "Usually whatever prey the forest provides me... If I'm lucky I can catch a deer or... Maybe a juicy rabbit or... Even a shrew or two..." *She went lost in thought for a bit as she went over all the different animals she had hunted several times before. Thinking of it alone made her hungry for something the least bit feasible to eat out here.*
Chad
*Jester smiles cheek to cheek* "Coooool! Ive never hunted for anything before except for tips" *He shudders at the bad memories of bartending with his uncle* "Ive been wanting to try out my skills for a while now but I never know where to go" *He looks out at the sea beyond the vegetation. He smiles* "Soon I can be out there, exploring, making a name for myself" *He sighs then looks a bit startled, looking back up at the stranger* "Sorry" *He points at Jace* "Don't freak" *He finds a few low branches and backs up a good amount. He then takes a running start and jumps up. His ponytail wraps around a branch and he swings up, landing perfectly on a branch decently leveled with the strangers'* "Im Jester by the way. Nice to meetcha!"
Rodolfo
*Juna listened to him with her ears pricked in curiosity as he mentioned exploring the world. He had looked towards the sea, which made her wonder if he planned on swimming out there or riding a boat or something to explore. She tightened her grip on the trunk of the tree she was on, remaining cautious as the stranger drew closer to her. Her tail twitched a bit to the side, however, her curious expression didn't leave her. When he finally introduced himself to her, she found herself dipping her head in response.*

"I'm Juna..." *She said quietly.* "And the Jackal down there is Jace... It's... Nice to meet you too..." *Jace let out his own bark of response which seemed to be in some kind of disagreement, but with him it could be hard to tell. Juna ignored the barking Jackal as she decided to ask the question that came to her mind.*

"Were you training to... Go swim out to sea...?"
Chad
*Jester jumps a bit at the bark but manages to relax himself. He shrugs* "I could but that would take me a while. I could sneak onto a boat or something but im mainly training to survive on my own. You always gotta be ready for a fight ya know?" *Jester, for the first time, looks a bit serious, his smile wavering* "I don't get why everyone is so eager to ruin someones day. I shouldn't have to train this hard to see the world but it isn't safe out there" *He shakes his head and his smile returns* "Might as well have fun with the fights while im at it!" *He laughs to himself* "Sorry, you didn't sign up to hear me ramble, or talk to me at all really"
Rodolfo
*Juna stares at him with a look of surprise. Sure, he was right about people being out 'ruining someone's day' though she hadn't really came across anyone that pointed it out without the feeling that they'd do the same in certain situations. It was hard to find someone nice enough as it was, though she was grateful for the few friends she had previously come across that helped raise her confidence in the world. Her tail flicked one way then another, rather peacefully.*

"It's alright..." *She said, responding to his apology.* "Sometimes talking is better than simply listening to the sounds of the forest..." *Juna decided to relax on the branch a bit more, her calm demeanor reaching her Jackal as he had eventually quieted down and sat at the base of the tree.*
Chad
*Jester notices her untense and smiles* "Somethin tells me you don't get to relax much" *His ponytail swings around and Jester starts to pick out sticks and bark out of it* "If you don't mind me asking, how long have you had Jace?" *He winces as he plucks a splinter out of the ponytail*

*Jester murmurs something and blushes a bit, glad he didn't say it out loud*
