A sigh escapes the redhead, and she crosses her legs with a frown. "Unfortunately, no. I was hoping to return, restock on supplies, and determine if you'd made any progress yourselves - it's good to know you have." The Feverlands; a place she hadn't made it to in her travels, but one she tucks away into the vaults of her mind for future analysis and considerations.
News of war, however, has hazel eyes sharpening. Remi's name is still vague to her, only in correlation to Delah and as Ludo's chosen. They've yet to meet one-on-one. "Their war will no doubt bleed here, they are incapable of leaving good enough alone. Either side." Even though the Greatwood has no pound of flesh to be defended in their pathetic war. The notion of choosing a side at all is a mockery of their ways, but preparation is the best course of action.
The flush on Juniper's face has her hackles smoothing, a fond smile playing on her lips. Even now she still has faith in Juniper, and with each word and bit of activism that falls from her tongue it is only solidified. "Ironic then, that the Governor is married to an Ascended himself," she notes, brows rising. Nate's blood - or whatever sinful mockery of it he had - had coated her blade once for that exact purpose. Sunjata's agreement feels hollow because of it. "Of course the Ascended do not wish to pay for their crimes, they scarcely believe they were in the wrong at all." Her jaw pulses as she grits her teeth, unsure of how much to reveal to Juniper. "I wish to help, you know I will not abandon you a second time. But my own feelings regarding the Ascended are not so...diplomatic. Especially with Ludo guiding me. I do not want to taint what you've created here." Vague enough to create reasonable doubt, but straightforward enough to get Juniper's thoughts on the matter.

Your goodness must have some edge to it -- else it is none
