"I understand your wariness," Juniper said, sadly. She didn't want to live in a world where one's religion made so many enemies, but that was Caido at the moment -- and she couldn't help but admit that her own gods had made no effort to keep the peace. Rather the opposite, in fact. "Remember, Fae cannot lie."
Which was why she had chosen her words so carefully -- "I have no intention of attacking you" instead of "I will not attack you." But, as she had told Nate, she didn't want to get into a fight. Overall, she suspected that she had more to fear from Nate than he had from her -- but she didn't want to point that out to him. If the idea of hurting her hadn't occurred to him, she wasn't about to put it in his head. She still hovered at Nate's eye level, but out of arm's reach.
"Sunjata told me that a Fae attacked you," Juniper added, nodding at his scar. "I promised to help find her if I could."
