JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper smiled back. She appreciated Amalia's approval -- and her sympathy. "Thank you -- I'll certainly keep that in mind. And thank you for speaking with me. You've given me a lot to think about, and I enjoyed meeting you as well."but it's the easiest thing to do
Her words were, of course, nothing but the truth. Amalia had provided her with invaluable insight into the conflict between the Fae and the Ascended, not to mention how other outsiders perceived the matter. Juniper hadn't even known about the murder ... a failing of her own, perhaps, but one she was glad Amalia had helped her rectify.
Taking her leave of Amalia, Juniper headed back towards the Greatwood. She could have stayed in the Grounds for longer, but she thought she'd gotten quite enough information for one day -- now she needed to process it and figure out what to do.
Well, she knew the first step: she most definitely needed to talk to Nephele and Alina.
