JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Melita didn't seem comforted by Juniper's words, and Juniper couldn't blame her -- they barely even helped Juniper herself. In truth, Juniper didn't know what to do. Sometimes she just wanted to run away into the Wilds and refuse to have anything to do with the war. But that was cowardice, wasn't it?but it's the easiest thing to do
At Melita's question, Juniper shook her head, and couldn't help laughing a little. "No, I'm only fifty. But there are those among us who do remember the last war. They don't like to speak of it, but I've seen how grim they look, preparing for a new one."
More than anything, Juniper wanted to spare her people -- and all of Caido -- from going through that again.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
