Amun's spike did manage to anchor Juniper, but she didn't mind too much, as she'd just as soon not get within grappling range of him. Instead she stood at bay, knives drawn, stance wary. But she didn't attack. Her intentions had always been defensive, and if she'd managed to buy herself a little time, she'd rather use it to try to talk him down than to strike.
"The Order came through the Greatwood to murder Ascended?" Juniper's heart sank. If the Order was moving through the Greatwood, she should know -- especially if they were committing acts of war on the other side. Unless perhaps Remi knew and didn't tell her? That prospect was almost worse than her own ignorance. "I am sorry. I am not in a position to bar the Order as a whole from our lands, but if you tell me who it was, I can seek justice for you."
