Samuel
It twisted at his heart that they had their irreconcilable differences, because Juniper seemed kind and considerate, the kind of person he could get along with well if it weren't for who they were; she offered comfort after the story about his parents and he smiled, nodded, appreciated it but felt a pang of guilt too, to know that he'd hurt someone this gentle.
"I know those people are out there. I don't know how to even begin to talk to them. I appreciate that you are at least willing to see me." He leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and looked out into the trees, lacing his fingers together; there really wasn't much else to say. Something awful had happened, there were many more such events coming up and neither of them had the power to stop any of it. "I can't give you advice - I've struggled to do the same with people on my own side."
It seemed they'd come to an end of productive conversation. "...I wish we could have more satisfying answers. But...All I can say is that if you want me for your trial, I'll be there. And...I hope we don't go to war, and that one day we can meet again under better circumstances." After all, Ascended were ageless and Fae lived for hundreds of years; it was very possible they could have this meeting again in two, three centuries.
