Samuel
Sam nodded along with what Juniper said, still finding her to be intelligent and eloquent; if only they could be on the same side. "...I'd have to work on it for a while to find exactly the right words. I have a habit of saying things and them not coming out how I mean them." Quite often, he'd written letters or made speeches with one intention and had people leave with an entirely different idea of what he'd meant.
"You're welcome. I...hope this will lead to something better for all of us." Hope, hope, hope; all they had was hope and he was beginning to feel like that wasn't enough when put against the apparent certainty of the war coming up amongst them. Neither he or Juniper had the power to change anything about it though, so all they could do was talk and hope.
Leaving the woods and walking back home, Sam had his head down and hands in his pockets, trying to think of anything he could have said better. As if one phrase different could somehow heal the rift between the Ascended and the Fae, as if the responsibility was on his shoulders.
He didn't have any more answers when he reached his front door than he had when he'd left.
