[Mini Event] When the end will not reveal its face

JUNIPER

you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do

Juniper found herself running late to the meeting -- she'd lost track of time while getting ready -- and arrived somewhat flustered, just in time to hear Alina's words.

"I'm here!" she said, blushing a little. "Sorry for running late."

Like Alina, Juniper was unarmed except for her belt knife -- she didn't usually wear her bow when she wasn't hunting, and she didn't imagine any violence would break out at this meeting. She certainly didn't intend to raise a hand against a demigod -- not a demigod of the Old Gods, anyway; the possibility of violence with the Voice's chosen remained -- much less one bringing them the gods' will.

if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
