JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper placed Ianto carefully on the bunk, grateful that the healer had immediately taken stock of the situation. Of course, a healer would presumably have experience with emergencies.but it's the easiest thing to do
"A hunting arrow." Juniper pulled an example from her quiver, showing it to the healer: a simple, barb-free point, designed to find its way quickly to the heart of a deer -- or fox. "One of these. They're not poisoned or anything; it should be a clean wound. I took the arrow out and put pressure on the wound, that's all."
The temptation to dither pressed on Juniper's mind, the urge to get weepy and anxiously declare that it had been an accident, she hadn't meant any harm. She pushed that desire away. That wouldn't help Ianto; it would just waste everyone's time. She could apologize profusely when his wound was treated.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
