"Ah." That was a lot of information for Juniper to take in, but it also explained a lot. The idea of the Voice making a child for her followers was fascinating and a little disturbing, though Juniper tried not to take that interpretation -- she didn't want to offend Azrael by giving them any sign of doubt or disgust.but it's the easiest thing to do
"You really are growing fast, if you're only a year old." That timeline also meant that Azrael had been born after the Fae's attack on the Greatwood.

But they had never known a world where the Ascended and the Fae were not at odds, a world in which they might have been permitted to walk the Greatwood.
Juniper decided to be open about her reaction, minus the "disturbing" part: "That's really fascinating. I had no idea the Voice could make children. What ... Hm. I don't suppose you have anything to compare it to, but I would love to know what it's like to be you."
