JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper bustled around her home a bit before the time she'd invited Remi to come over, making some unnecessary last-minute attempts to tidy up. She'd already cleaned, really; she was just a bit nervous. Then the teakettle she'd set on the stove whistled, and she went to pour its contents into a teapot that she set out on the table, along with two cups and the appropriate accoutrements.but it's the easiest thing to do
In all the diplomacy Juniper had done recently, she'd never invited someone into her home, and she feared her hosting skills were rusty. Or nonexistent: she'd never had many visitors. The last person who'd entered her home was Nephele, offering her the position she currently occupied. Even with all its ups and downs, Juniper was glad she'd said yes.
She'd written a brief note to Remi asking him to visit her to discuss "the defense of the Greatwood," because she had questions. And although she was nervous, she knew this ought to be no big deal, especially compared to her meeting with Wessex, which had gone worse than she'd hoped and better than she'd feared.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
