JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper nods solemnly, thinking of all the things at stake in the coming war -- the lives of her fellow Fae, the health of her home. And the well-being of all of Caido. The Mathair hangs in her mind as well; even if the goddess had returned eventually, the destruction of her great tree had scarred the hearts of the Fae. "True. Some things are far more difficult to restore ... If they can be restored at all."but it's the easiest thing to do
Hearing of Anju's task, Juniper gives a little grimace. "I wouldn't be looking forward to it either." After all, the Grounds are effectively hostile territory now -- and even without that consideration, Juniper didn't think they were a very pleasant place. "I wish you a safe trip." It's probably best if Anju avoids running into any Ascended.
And another nod, though a rather reflective one. Juniper is a major player in this war, or at least has the potential to be, if she chooses. Part of her still would prefer to just run off into the Wilds, but she can't be that cowardly. "I hope Ludo's wisdom works out well for you." Juniper rather wishes she could defer to a god's advice ... but she doubts any god can comfort her conscience.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
