Boy, underground people sure were impolite! Juno watched him vanish into the trees, took another look around to assure no one else was planning on sneaking through, and then pulled her trap down fully. She would have to fix the netting anyway.
After she gathered up her things, she headed back to her father and informed him of the encounter. Solanus looked... surprised, if not a little incredulous at the suggestion that some boy from the underground had made his way up to the surface and actually spoke to her, but Juno couldn't tell a lie even if she wanted to.
"They're not meant to be up here, sprout. If you see him again, best be careful." Was his only warning, knowing full well his stubborn daughter would end up doing whatever the hell she wanted either way.
Enough time passed after that incident that Juno assumed it was a one-off interaction when she saw no sign of the boy. So she went about her usual business in the woods while her father worked - singing another song to herself, this time while skinning a rabbit she had managed to catch.
