Juniper catches the look of satisfaction in Mildew's eyes at her confusion and smiles herself, a little. So Mildew enjoys mystery -- then Juniper is glad she didn't ask. No reason to spoil Mildew's fun, and anyway, she'd probably just give some cryptic response that told Juniper nothing.
Contemplating Mildew's questions, Juniper leans her chin on her hand, her elbow propped on her knee. "Sidhe Village still chooses who can find it, yes, though it has welcomed more outsiders recently than in living memory. As for tricking those who enter the woods ..." Juniper sighs. "Recent seasons have called for less mischief and more outright suspicion. It's true that more outsiders wander the woods, but most of them are known to us as allies." As she speaks this last part, Juniper raises an eyebrow at Mildew, as if to say but not you.
At Mildew's last question, Juniper smiles again. "We still cannot lie, though I suppose you'll have to take my word for that."
