JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper's mouth quirked in a rather ironic smile. "I'm glad you think so." Her tone might sound a bit sardonic, but it was true -- after all, she couldn't lie. If Deimos thought a negotiated compromise would work, or would at least be a possibility, then perhaps others would accept it too. Though she still feared it wouldn't be enough to appease the angry Fae -- and yet too much for the Ascended to submit to.but it's the easiest thing to do
She waited for him to speak further, but when he only nodded, she started to gather her things a bit. They had had a good conversation, one that had left her with some things to think about -- advice given, ideas exchanged -- but she saw no need to draw it out if Deimos wasn't feeling chatty anymore. No other questions hovered on her mind either, and she had consumed as much of her drink as she intended to.
"It was good to speak to you," she said. "Thank you for the advice -- I hope I can make good use of it."
She waited a moment to see if he had any last words for her, any pleasantries to exchange, before starting out the door and back to the portal.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
