JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
Juniper nodded, smiling back. She could share the wistful idea of a simpler life -- though her life had been that simple until Nephele had knocked on her door, and she hadn't been happy with it. No, it wasn't a simpler life that she wanted so much as a less dangerous one. If war would only cease to threaten ...but it's the easiest thing to do
"I see." Juniper's practice in diplomacy, in self-control, kept her voice neutral -- kept her from protesting the idea of exterminating an entire people just for the crime of existing. Yes, some of the Ascended had attacked the Fae, and she rather wanted those Ascended dead -- but many of them were innocent. "That's what the Order seeks -- but what do you think? Do you agree that the Ascended should be exterminated?"
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
