JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper hadn't expected a gift from Alina, but she didn't show her surprise, even given the brusque nature of the hand-off. "Oh, thank you!"but it's the easiest thing to do
She caught Alina's arm as Alina turned to leave. "Wait, I have something for you as well."
Well, she hadn't bought the leather belt specifically for Alina, but out of the just-in-case gifts she'd prepared, it seemed like the best one for another huntress. It came with a few useful pouches and plenty of loops where other pouches and items could be tied or hung on it. The leather bore a finely-embossed leaf motif, and it was quite sturdy.
Juniper slipped the package into Alina's hands before tucking Alina's gift for her under her arm, intending to open it later.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
