"The Ascended, yes," Juniper says, soberly, but she can't help being a bit surprised to realize that Mildew seems to have no idea what troubles have passed between the Ascended and the Greatwood -- or what troubles are yet to pass. Well, she did say she had been gone for some time. "We will be at war with them in a few seasons, by the gods' word." Juniper sounds sad, resigned; it requires no leaps of logic to understand that she is not happy about this turn of events.
Juniper's eyes widen when Mildew introduces herself. "A demigoddess ... I am honored to meet you." After a moment Juniper's calm returns; after all, Mildew isn't the only demigod she's met -- though the other seemed more ordinary somehow, perhaps because they had been regular people before their ascensions to demigodhood. "May I ask what has kept you away so long -- or why you're returning now?"
