Juno, heading to take on more bandits saw the bird girl and watched for a moment as she took down some bandits. As, Juno dispatched another bandit, he heard the bandits yelling to retreat and saw them running away. He turned to Bear, and the rest of them.
"That was close. Didn't know if we were done for, but we managed to hold them off and drive the bandits away. I suppose we're all here for the same reason, right? Just trying to make our way in the world, what with our abilities marking us as "freaks" or "outcasts". Maybe we should all travel together seeing as we're all alike. Probably be for the best too. Help each other out and such and we wouldn't be alone. Wat do you say?"
That being said, Juno walked over and sat down under the tree and began to regain his humanness. He took a drink of his water jug and let the refreshing water revitalize him. Watching the rest of them, he contemplated what they should do next. He wanted to go to the next village, but who knew if the bandits had ransacked it? The only thing they could do was travel there and see what had become of it.
Everyone seemed to be just standing around for a few minutes regrouping and getting their bearings. Juno stood up.
"So are we ready to go onward?"

I'd be interested, but would want to know more info
Juno ran after Bear, pointing his sword at the first bandit that came at him. The bandit pulled out his own sword and swung it at Juno, but ducking, Juno swung his own sword at the bandit's legs, knocking him down and immobilizing him. Standing up, Juno ran around the tree in which bear was trying to slam a bandit into it and managed to kick another bandit in the legs, sending him down to the ground, then taking his sword and hitting the bandit over the head, knocking him out.
Another bandit was coming straight at him, but he quickly started digging into the ground, burrowing. Juno tunneled a short ways behind the bandit and dug straight up, allowing him to heap out and slam the bandit in the back with the hilt of his sword. Another bandit crippled and fell to the ground. At this moment Juno saw another animal latched on to a bandit that was attacking Bear. He had a feeling it was Surya.
He rolled out of the way of the fray and stopped for a mere moment to catch his breath. It seemed like it was more than a coincidence that they were meeting. He thought he was the only one who had these abilities, but he was glad he wasn't the only one. Something was bringing them together and he intended to find out just what it was.
Juno picked up the sword next to him and pointed it towards the bandits and made his way over, ready to take down some more bandits.

With that, Juno knew he could either run away like a coward or stand his ground and fight with Bear. He chose the latter, although he might regret it in the end. "Bear, I am not going anywhere. And maybe they are hunting you, but I'm certain these bandits are the ones that set fire to my home and I am not letting them get away with it."
He turned and looked at Surya. "You joining us?"
Juno didn't wait for her to respond. He just walked a few steps away following Bear. If he was going to do this he had better just come out with it and do it. Juno crouched over and in an instant it happened. His hands and feet became small paws with claws on them and on his back he gained what seemed like a shield of armor. He stood up, letting Bear and Surya, see what he really was. Now that he knew Bear was like him, his trust level for Bear rose and he knew that bear was deserving of his full trust. If Bear was able to transform also, what's to say there weren't more of them out there that were like them.
"Come on Bear. We've got some bandits to take care of."
The pendant he wore became warm, like it did when he needed the sword. He only discovered the ability recently after he took the pendant from the ashes of his burned down home. He knew that it was made from the metal of the reforged sword of his father, which he inherited after his 16th birthday. What Juno didn't know until recently was the ability it possessed. After noticing that once pendant and sword were together, the sword would disappear. This led him to believe that the metal used to make sword and pendant had magical abilities. The pendant acting like the key which unlocked the potential of the magic.
Reaching over his back, Juno pulled out a sword from what seemed like thin air. And he knew that Bear and Surya were looking at him with disbelief.
"What are you two looking at? Haven't you ever seen a sword before? I'll explain once all this is over. For now we've got some bandits to dispose of"

He watched the girl speak with her pissed tones and realized his attitude was all the difference. The only reason he spoke to her like that was because, he was uncertain of who he could trust in this world anymore. After what had happened in the village with his home and parents, there was nothing left for him and he was cautious, but presented himself as a cocky bastard, trying to force people to tell him their business so he was able to know if they were trustworthy or not. Even then, how could he know if a person was even giving him information that was true. It could all be lies just to shut him up.
"I am sorry. I'm not in the right mind after what happened at the village, with my house being burned down and my parents burned alive inside. I don't mean to come off this way, but since that incident I am very cautious about things and people and who to trust. Sorry if it offended you, as that wasn't my intention. Maybe we can put this all behind us and start with a clean slate? I'd like to find out anything that you might know."
Why did he even tell her about the fire, what made him open up for the brief moment he divulged that information. He just wanted to be accepted and after being seen as what the village considered "different", there was nothing for him. That's why he became a loner, but now that he met these two, maybe there was some sort of friendship to be had. He could hope right?

Juno looked at her. "Alright, alright. Surya. I'm just traveling, looking to find myself and somewhere that accepts me. I've been traveling days now. Just stopped here to rest. Then I met this guy over here, who informed me of Bandits. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, now would you?" He asked her quite cocky in his tone, trying to play off being cool and confident, but in reality, he was more nervous then he seemed.
Turning to Bear, he motioned him to come closer. As Bear bent down, Juno talked quietly in his ear. "You don't think shes part of these bandits do you? I'm not getting that feeling but you never know."
As bear straightened up, Juno glanced back at Surya. He saw her give him this look which let him know that she knew they were talking about her and wanted to know what they were saying. Fully focusing on her, he stared at her and proceeded with the grilling.
"So, come now. Out with it. What do you know. Spill it."

Actually, having a companion to the next village would be nice, Juno thought. at least he would have someone to talk to, instead of just the voices in his head.
Juno watched the girl approaching them, he tuned to Bear and made a quick glance as if telling him to beware, but he could see that Bear already was on guard. He turned back to the girl. "Names Juno." He looked at Bear. "Should have introduced myself before, but now's a good a time as any."
Turning back to face the girl, he stood at attention, still in case this was some ruse or trick. "What's your deal girl? What brings you out to this forest?" Juno asked, while being cautious. She could be one of the bandits that Bear was talking about. There was no way to be sure unless they extracted the info from her.
And in the half a minute this was all occurring, Juno now felt comfortable enough to know that Bear was not the enemy. How much Juno could trust him though, now that was another matter altogether, but for now at least he knew Bear wouldn't attack him.

Juno looked at the man, still on the alert in case this was some sort of trick.
"No, I'm not lost. Just resting after traveling."
He corked the bottle and put it back in his pouch, looking back to the man to make sure nothing was awry. He turned away for a moment to fix the pendant he wore that was his mother's,tucking it under his shirt and stood up and faced the man.
"Might I ask what it is you are doing here out in this forest? Not many people travel through here. It doesn't lead to anything. I better get going. I have a ways to go if I'm to reach the next village by nightfall."
With that, Juno turned and started walking away, but he heard footsteps following him. He turned his neck and saw that the man as following him. Well, Juno thought, so far nothing suspicious has happened, so maybe there was no harm in letting this man travel with him for the time being.
"Alright, well If you're gonna follow me I guess I can let you tag along for now. Come on let's go."

IC is up and ready for the RP to be underway. See you in the RP.
Juno, walked down the dirt path, dragging his feet along, slowly contemplating where to go next. He had been traveling like a vagabond, just stopping by at each village just to get his bearings and move on. There was no where left for him to go, not after the whole fiasco at the village. He couldn't even go back there and word, would probably travel to other villages of his ability to become animal. Then he would be alone for good.
Turning off the path, he walked through the forest a ways and found what was a small clearing. He sat down on a tree stump there and pulled out a small corked bottle from his pouch. Uncorking the bottle he took a nice swig of the cool water. It was quite refreshing after traveling for so long. The rest was needed.
As he sat there for the few minutes, he heard a rustling. Juno looked around, but all he could see was forest beyond the clearing. No person or creature in sight. He took another drink of the water. There it was again, the rustling of cracking leaves. Someone or something was here in the forest as well. Juno perked up and scanned the surrounding are, trying to scout and see if he could find the source of the noise, but he could not. He kept a watch and then as able to make out a figure. Not who it was, but just a shadowed figure,
The figure seemed to notice Juno sitting there and slowly began to come closer. Juno became alert and ready, if anything was to happen, although it looked like just another traveler traipsing around the forest as well.
