JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
"It's nice to meet you, Amalia," Juniper said: not a lie, of course. Amalia had already shown concern for the Greatwood and its people, and while it was fully possible that in the future their relationship would sour -- bitter experience had taught Juniper to always anticipate such an outcome -- for the moment, Juniper was happy to have encountered Amalia. "We are doing all we can for the Mathair. Even if you could help ... If you could truly help her, then I would gladly accept your assistance. But I do not believe I can say the same for the rest of my people."but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper nodded and entered the butcher's shop. It took her quite some time to trade away the meat she had brought -- first needing to overcome the butcher's astonishment at seeing a Fae in their shop, then to prove that Fae or no, she knew the quality of her own goods and what made a fair offer for them. Walking out of the shop, Juniper wondered if Amalia had even waited for her; she wouldn't have been surprised if the baker had just gone on with her day.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
