At Seren's description of the exclusion of Abandoned, Juniper's face turned a little troubled. Excluding the Ascended made sense; she had no problem with Stormbreak's desire to keep the Voice's followers away. But the Abandoned ...
"Yes, Ascended are unwelcome in the Greatwood. My people as a whole despise them for their attack on the Mathair. But we have no particular issue with the Abandoned." No particular issue, by which Juniper meant "no greater issue than with other outsiders." Plenty of Fae still desired isolation, especially after all the trouble outsiders had brought over the last few years. "After all, plenty of us do magic ourselves."
