Juniper wandered along the Whispershore, unsure why she had come here today. She needed a place to think, a moment of peace and quiet to examine the burdens she carried, the moves playing themselves out on the chessboard that was Caido in the run-up to war. If she could only think hard enough, perhaps she could puzzle out a pattern that would keep everyone safe.
But she wouldn't get that time to think today; today a new piece waited on the board, unexpected and unpredictable. Spotting the Sword and his companions in the distance, Juniper approached cautiously -- the figure was too large to be Fae, and who knew who might show up in the Greatwood these days? Finally, she recognized him and called out: "Deimos? Are you all right?"
Something in his posture struck her as tired, if not more.
