[align=center][div style="width: 350px; text-align: justify; font-size: 10px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]in all honesty, josephine found her new job of foraging quite boring. she knew the necessity of it, they need the resources and to eat, however, wandering the mountain, looking for the few things growing at the current seasonal change and trying to find rabbits or birds to eat is a tedious and a relatively solitary, quiet job. joey is a very sociable person, extroverted and attention-seeking, so the job brings her to extreme boredom pretty quickly. she's been trying to entertain herself the best she can: playing in the snow even though she hates the cold, target practice with her throwing knives and dabbling with some archery since she'd begin to learn, and just trying to explore somewhat, without getting lost of course. on her last outing, she had stumbled across the barn and seen puppies. puppies! she'd fallen in love, a first for joey, and she knew, she needs a pup to be at her side at all times. plus, they could help her hunt, it's a win win. she will be a better member of flintlock with a puppy. then, there's the therapeutic aspect of having something to care for. with the raid on her family's home, joey's been in a strange head space. the girl has shoved all the feelings about it out of sight and mind, as she usually does, but it's catching up on her. while she's on her own and everything is quiet, sounds muffled by the layer of snow coating everything, joey finds herself jumpy, a sensation she's very unfamiliar with and unsettled by. her heart begins to race and every muscle in her body tenses, she's convinced, every single time, that they are out to finish the job, to kill her and the remaining family. joey always saw their family as untouchable until the fire and the raid seems to be the last nail in the coffin, they really weren't anything. maybe it's a symptom of getting older or maybe their perceived dynasty really just crumbled in front of her eyes.
instead of truly facing said problem, joey's decided that getting a puppy, or two, as a way to cope. probably isn't the best or healthiest decision, however, she needs something to take her mind off of it and to accompany her when she's out and about. it's her first and only thing she's planned for her day, so she, surprisingly, woke up in a good mood. she puts on two pairs of leggings, a long sleeve tee, as well as her brother's jacket before putting her knife and its holster in her waistband. she takes a glance at herself when she passes a mirror, stopping for a moment. she adjusts her shirt, but still kinda hates what she sees, face fallen and chewing on her lower lip. her superego kicks her id in the gut, making her clench her jaw with a huff, rolling her eyes. acting like she's the hottest thing people have seen is what allows her to dissociate from her true insecurities and feelings, she has to maintain it. fluffy socks get shoved into big boots as she leaves her room, nearly slamming the door behind her with a little grin.
while making her way to the village, she does trip and fall into the snow a few times. she just hopes no one saw her do it and is able to get enough snow off of her for anyone to not be able to tell that she'd fallen, but she makes it to the barn without any big issues. she's not totally sure how this goes, so she opens the door carefully and glances around to try and see if anyone is there or if she needs to speak to anyone to get a pup. she's had her eye on a german shorthaired pointer and english setter, both able to help her with hunting and be generally good dogs. spotting the litters, a small squeal-like noise escapes her, joey can't really contain herself and rushes to the puppies, completely forgetting about waiting for some kind of instruction. joey drops to her knees and allow puppies to bum rush her, scooping them up as they reach her. "i want you all" joey tells them, voice a bit higher than usual.
