Another nod, and this time Mildew received a slight smile. "Perhaps. If the opportunity for such a solution arises, I will be the first to advocate for it, I hope." The Voice certainly could not be allowed to create more Ascended -- but perhaps if she were stopped, the Ascended could live in peace.
As Mildew changed the subject, Juniper's smile widened. "Hmm ... I've always had a soft spot for Ludo's Woods. They're quiet and reflective, a good place to go to think. But my favorite place recently has been the Sea of Branches, actually. It's always so busy, so many of our people going about their lives -- and not just our people."
