JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
It took a few deep breaths before knocking for Juniper to steady herself to enter Theskyra House. Once inside, she took in the environment: not overtly intimidating, with every outward sign of welcome -- the fire, the food, the well-kept house. The only real intimidation factor was Wessex herself, but that was quite enough.but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper still smiled, though, coming in and finding her seat. And she opened the conversation politely: "Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Queen Wessex. I appreciate your willingness to talk."
She didn't really expect the conversation to continue polite -- icily so, perhaps -- but it never hurt to start off that way. And, as her Fae nature required, she had spoken the truth: Wessex agreeing to talk was better than Wessex outright refusing all overtures.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
