It felt odd to come to Torchline under new leadership. Juniper and Sunjata hadn't been close, exactly, but she'd considered him an ally, someone she could count on if she needed help. She'd gone to his wedding, watched him deal with his father, spoken to him not just as a leader but as a friend. And now he had stepped down.
But he had done so by choice, and Juniper respected that decision; she also respected Safrin's selection of Torchline's new leaders. Considering that the goddess had chosen them, Juniper had to assume that Aurelia and Maeve would side with the Old Gods in the coming war. But it never hurt to ask. Not to mention, of course, that she wished to introduce herself to the new leaders, to keep an open line of communication between the Greatwood and Torchline's rulers.
So here she was at the Halenani, an attendant leading her to one of the building's formal sitting rooms. Juniper put a smile on her face and walked inside.
