"I'm fine," Juniper said, a bit embarrassed that a stranger had picked up on her distress. Yet something about Sah -- or maybe it was Lilly's friendliness -- made her want to share her worries. She hesitated. "It's just ... were you at the party last night?"
It felt like a lifetime ago already. Juniper hadn't been carefree in a long time, but she'd felt so much lighter last night than she did now. She'd set aside her burdens for one night, and look where it got her -- look where it got them all.
She bent down to pet Lilly, smiling at the pup's enthusiasm. "It's all right -- you're not interrupting anything." It wasn't as if waiting on this step -- making wishes on myths -- would stave off war, after all. "I'm Juniper."
