Juniper nodded to Deimos's thanks, listened carefully to his explanation. "Noah and Hotaru told me about Safrin's wishes. Was there no consideration of the idea that Halo might remain neutral, however?"
A naive dream, perhaps, but Juniper had somewhat hoped that somewhere in Caido -- even if it were not her beloved Greatwood -- might remain untouched by war. Probably Safrin was right; likely, a nominally neutral Halo would have truly proven more use to the Ascended. But Juniper could dream, right?
Eventually, Deimos had said: Halo would eventually turn to the Voice. Just how long was this war supposed to last?
And she had one more question, too: "How did you convince Morgan to leave?"
