Juni bounded through the Forrest rather fast, so where between jogging and skipping on his route. He enjoyed travelling through this portion of the woods around sundown, it was extremely pretty and whatnot. He couldn't just walk though, walking was barely fun for a canine youkai. He barely broke a sweat as he sped along. 

"HOLY SHITAKE MUSHROOMS!!!" He screamed rather abruptly, his naked foot caught against something large and warm on the ground. He threw his hands out to catch himself as he found himself laying in the dirt with whatever wallump decided to sleep in the middle of the woods. "Can we not? Don't you know it's dangerous to sleep in the middle of nowhere?" He complained as he stood up and dusted off his black and dull-red kimono. "Oh wait, your not..."

Juni bent down next to the palefaced boy with a worried look on his face, his small nose twitching wildly as he sniffed. The kid wasn't from around here, he smelled to clean, and honestly looked to impractically clothed. Then again Juni was in his business kimono... He was an inumimi though, sometimes cleanliness went over their heads.

He picked up the boy in his arms as he looked skyward. "I'll take care of this one, friends." Juni said in pseudo-prayer. He felt it was his god-given duty to help those in need, so he often picked up strays like this and nursed them to health. The youkai that came by his trading post everyday would often bring him medicinal herbs and food as that was what he charged for tax. (He honestly didn't make any money, he was non-profit. Inumimi feel rich even if they're naked in a ditch after all... At least he did.)

Juni brought the boy back to his trading post which was built into a small cliff. A small wooden cabin jutted out of the cliff, disappearing back into it. Surrounding it was a place to tether horses, a large dirt patch where creatures came and went and scuffled. There were a few empty pins for livestock on the occasion someone brought some to sell. The doors and windows of the cabin where in traditional eastern style, characters for protection and wealth dotted the place. This place was claimed by his family centuries ago and has been a hub for youkai trading and interaction. His family is said to have been priests of some god of trade in the past, but the priesthood has long died out.

Juni took the boy inside where it was extremely spacious considering how small it looked on the outside. The cliff was thanks to that. It was a large cavern that had been hollowed out a century or two before that had been hollowed out by one of his ancestors. You couldn't see the rock now as Juni's father had a ceiling built. The front was sectioned off and had various shelves of herbs and trinkets, weapons and other artifacts hung on the walls in that area which was considered the "storefront." 

Again, it was walled off except for an open doorway that looked into the next room, which was a granderoom holding the kitchen on the left wall, a bed on the right wall, and a little wooden furniture in the back made of carved wood. Past that was a closed doorway that lead to the bathes which split off into two directions (male and female), where hot springs laid in torch lit caves.

Juni laid the boy down on a bed in a corner of the granderoom (the bed where he kept his "strays"). "Okay let's see, what sort of youkai are you? Need to know what to do and what not to do..." He said, speaking to himself as he looked the boy over. No beastial ears to give a clue, so Juni ruffled through his hair to see if there were any horns, of course there weren't. The boy didn't have a tail either...

"Oh dear, you're a human." 

Juni grimaced. [i]Shit, shit shit shit shit[/i] he thought to himself over and over. Humans didn't come here anymore, not in these woods. Did this boy not know these were the youkai lands? There were shrines and whatnot... The kid must not get out much.

"We'll have to keep you hidden until I can see what to do with you." He spoke aloud as if the boy was awake. Youkai didn't take kindly to most humans anymore after the human kingdom ran them out. If youkai caught wind that Juni was housing a human he'd lose business.

He stood up and took off to the door to the storefront and let down a curtain to cover the door as he often did to tell people he was sleeping. Then went back over to the boy who was rather scuffed up and dirty. Juni knew for humans that was not good so he begrudgingly removed the boys robes and went to get some rags,
