JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Taking her own seat, Juniper smiled at Nephele's words -- then turned more somber when Nephele mentioned searching for the Mathair. "The Mathair ... Have you made any progress finding her? Remi and I looked for her as well -- we believe she's somewhere in the Feverlands -- but we had to turn back without results."but it's the easiest thing to do
And as for being left alone: "It's all right. I'm not completely alone, even if Alina ... Well. Remi has been helping prepare the Greatwood for ... well, for war. A war I hope will never come, but it's good to be prepared."
Then, at the compliment, Juniper blushed furiously. Nephele's approval meant a lot to her, since Nephele had been the one to offer her the position in the first place. "Thank you -- I'm honored to hear you say so. Let's see ... I reached out to Halo and Torchline, and I'm glad to report that both leaders were receptive to working with us. The Warden of Halo has agreed to defend the Greatwood if we are attacked, and Torchline's Governor supports the idea of bringing the Ascended to justice for their attack on the Mathair -- though, of course, the Ascended have been less receptive."
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
