JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper had expected a lot of things when she'd put that notice up -- harsh words, hostility, perhaps even physical attacks -- but she hadn't expected a child. She looked at Azrael with bemusement; fortunately her manners took precedence, so at least she could start out well. "Hello, Azrael. My name is Juniper. Thank you for coming to talk to me. Would you sit with me?"but it's the easiest thing to do
She gestured to a bench at the edge of the Temple where they could sit and talk comfortably. Then she added, "You're quite young for an Ascended, at least to my knowledge. When did you Ascend?"
The words The Order want to destroy all Ascended and a 16-year-old girl had her throat cut floated through Juniper's mind, but she tried not to let any of the distress they caused show on her face.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
