JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper sat, though part of her wondered why she needed to stick around -- she'd gotten Ianto to the healer; what else was she supposed to do? But of course the healer might need a hand taking care of him, and Juniper owed him at least that much. On the topic of debts, she really wasn't sure how she was going to properly apologize for this, but abandoning Ianto before his wound was even healed definitely wasn't a good idea.but it's the easiest thing to do
"Thanks," she answered the compliment, returning his weak smile with a slightly wan one of her own. Yes, she was a decent flier; she was also quite a good huntress, to Ianto's misfortune. And again it struck her that his response to suffering was to try to make her, its cause, feel better. Maybe it would help to keep him talking, distract him from his wound. She tried to think of something neutral or positive to say. "Thank you for staying a bird."
That was just ... a little weird, to be honest, but she hadn't been able to come up with anything better. Socialization was not one of her strong points.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
