Juniper nodded in sympathy as she listened to Sah. Yes, she knew what that kind of responsibility felt like. (In fact, it would only increase from here. But at least she wouldn't lead the Greatwood alone.) "It's hard to accept that some things are simply outside your power to change." Advice that applied very well to both of them -- to Sah's past, and to Juniper's present and future.
"It must have been a hard transition, coming here," Juniper added. "To go from being responsible for your people to being alone in a strange land ... I don't know how I'd cope."
Offering Sah a smile, Juniper nodded again. If he'd voiced his thoughts about interacting with the Fae, she might have mentioned that he didn't need to worry too much about prying -- the Fae were unable to lie, not unable to refuse a question. But, of course, Juniper had only so much insight into the workings of Sah's mind.
