JUNIPER

you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do

"Thank you, that's good to know," Juniper replied, although her brow furrowed in confusion: what was Stormbreak, exactly? And the Order? She still didn't know who they were, beyond a potential ally against the Ascended. And maybe Gideon was the person to ask -- but he was already standing, about to leave, and she didn't want to be so rude as to keep him. Maybe she'd write him a letter with further inquiries. "And thank you again. I appreciate the compliment, and your assistance. I hope you enjoy your time in the Greatwood."

She stood as well, also ready to go, and smiled as she took her leave.

{FIN}

if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
